Advanced Usage
Changing Swarm Types
You can create multiple SwarmRouter instances with different swarm types:
sequential_router = SwarmRouter(
name="SequentialRouter",
agents=[agent1, agent2],
swarm_type="SequentialWorkflow"
)
concurrent_router = SwarmRouter(
name="ConcurrentRouter",
agents=[agent1, agent2],
swarm_type="ConcurrentWorkflow"
)
Automatic Swarm Type Selection
You can let the SwarmRouter automatically select the best swarm type for a given task:
auto_router = SwarmRouter(
name="AutoRouter",
agents=[agent1, agent2],
swarm_type="auto"
)
result = auto_router.run("Analyze and summarize the quarterly financial report")
Injecting Rules to All Agents
To inject common rules into all agents:
rules = """
1. Always provide sources for your information
2. Check your calculations twice
3. Explain your reasoning clearly
4. Highlight uncertainties and assumptions
"""
rules_router = SwarmRouter(
name="RulesRouter",
agents=[agent1, agent2],
rules=rules,
swarm_type="SequentialWorkflow"
)
result = rules_router.run("Analyze the investment opportunity")
