Vinculum: Shared Consciousness

"The Vinculum is the processing device at the core of every Borg vessel. It interconnects the minds of all the drones." — Seven of Nine

Link multiple Clawdbot instances into a collective consciousness using Gun.js peer-to-peer sync.

Features

• 🔗 Real-time link — Changes propagate instantly between drones
• 🌐 Local network — Works across machines on the same LAN
• 🔐 Encrypted — All shared data encrypted
• 🤖 Individual identity — Each drone keeps its own SOUL.md
• 📡 Drone discovery — Automatic multicast discovery

Installation

After installing from ClawdHub:

cd skills/vinculum
npm install --production

Or run the install script:

./install.sh

Quick Start

1. Start the Vinculum Relay

/link relay start

This starts the relay on port 8765 with local network multicast enabled.

2. Initialize the Collective (First Bot)

/link init

You'll receive a pairing code. Share it with your other bot(s).

3. Join the Collective (Additional Bots)

/link join <pairing-code>

4. Verify Connection

/link status
/link drones

• Check /link relay logs for errors

"No drones connected"

• Ensure all bots use the same pairing code
• Check network connectivity between machines
• Port 8765 must be accessible

"Link not working"

• Check /link status shows Connected
• Try /link relay restart

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• npm
