🌊 Ruflo v3: Enterprise AI Orchestration Platform

Production-ready multi-agent AI orchestration for Claude Code

Deploy 60+ specialized agents in coordinated swarms with self-learning capabilities, fault-tolerant consensus, and enterprise-grade security.

Why Ruflo? Claude Flow is now Ruflo — named by Ruv, who loves Rust, flow states, and building things that feel inevitable. The "Ru" is the Ruv. The "flo" is the flow. Underneath, WASM kernels written in Rust power the policy engine, embeddings, and proof system. 5,800 commits later, the alpha is over. This is v3.5.

Getting into the Flow

Ruflo is a comprehensive AI agent orchestration framework that transforms Claude Code into a powerful multi-agent development platform. It enables teams to deploy, coordinate, and optimize specialized AI agents working together on complex software engineering tasks.

Key Capabilities

🤖 60+ Specialized Agents - Ready-to-use AI agents for coding, code review, testing, security audits, documentation, and DevOps. Each agent is optimized for its specific role.

🐝 Coordinated Agent Teams - Run unlimited agents simultaneously in organized swarms. Agents spawn sub-workers, communicate, share context, and divide work automatically using hierarchical (queen/workers) or mesh (peer-to-peer) patterns.

🧠 Learns From Your Workflow - The system remembers what works. Successful patterns are stored and reused, routing similar tasks to the best-performing agents. Gets smarter over time.

🔌 Works With Any LLM - Switch between Claude, GPT, Gemini, Cohere, or local models like Llama. Automatic failover if one provider is unavailable. Smart routing picks the cheapest option that meets quality requirements.

⚡ Plugs Into Claude Code - Native integration via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Use ruflo commands directly in your Claude Code sessions with full tool access.

🔒 Production-Ready Security - Built-in protection against prompt injection, input validation, path traversal prevention, command injection blocking, and safe credential handling.

🧩 Extensible Plugin System - Add custom capabilities with the plugin SDK. Create workers, hooks, providers, and security modules. Share plugins via the decentralized IPFS marketplace.

A multi-purpose Agent Tool Kit

🔄 Core Flow — How requests move through the system

Every request flows through four layers: from your CLI or Claude Code interface, through intelligent routing, to specialized agents, and finally to LLM providers for reasoning.

Layer	Components	What It Does
User	Claude Code, CLI	Your interface to control and run commands
Orchestration	MCP Server, Router, Hooks	Routes requests to the right agents
Agents	60+ types	Specialized workers (coder, tester, reviewer...)
Providers	Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama	AI models that power reasoning

🐝 Swarm Coordination — How agents work together

Agents organize into swarms led by queens that coordinate work, prevent drift, and reach consensus on decisions—even when some agents fail.

Layer	Components	What It Does
Coordination	Queen, Swarm, Consensus	Manages agent teams (Raft, Byzantine, Gossip)
Drift Control	Hierarchical topology, Checkpoints	Prevents agents from going off-task
Hive Mind	Queen-led hierarchy, Collective memory	Strategic/tactical/adaptive queens coordinate workers
Consensus	Byzantine, Weighted, Majority	Fault-tolerant decisions (2/3 majority for BFT)

Hive Mind Capabilities:

🐝 Queen Types: Strategic (planning), Tactical (execution), Adaptive (optimization)
👷 8 Worker Types: Researcher, Coder, Analyst, Tester, Architect, Reviewer, Optimizer, Documenter
🗳️ 3 Consensus Algorithms: Majority, Weighted (Queen 3x), Byzantine (f < n/3)
🧠 Collective Memory: Shared knowledge, LRU cache, SQLite persistence with WAL
⚡ Performance: Fast batch spawning with parallel agent coordination

🧠 Intelligence & Memory — How the system learns and remembers

The system stores successful patterns in vector memory, builds a knowledge graph for structural understanding, learns from outcomes via neural networks, and adapts routing based on what works best.

Layer	Components	What It Does
Memory	HNSW, AgentDB, Cache	Stores and retrieves patterns with fast HNSW search
Knowledge Graph	MemoryGraph, PageRank, Communities	Identifies influential insights, detects clusters (ADR-049)
Self-Learning	LearningBridge, SONA, ReasoningBank	Triggers learning from insights, confidence lifecycle (ADR-049)
Agent Scopes	AgentMemoryScope, 3-scope dirs	Per-agent isolation + cross-agent knowledge transfer (ADR-049)
Embeddings	ONNX Runtime, MiniLM	Local vectors without API calls (75x faster)
Learning	SONA, MoE, ReasoningBank	Self-improves from results (<0.05ms adaptation)
Fine-tuning	MicroLoRA, EWC++	Lightweight adaptation without full retraining

⚡ Optimization — How to reduce cost and latency

Skip expensive LLM calls for simple tasks using WebAssembly transforms, and compress tokens to reduce API costs by 30-50%.

Layer	Components	What It Does
Agent Booster	WASM, AST analysis	Skips LLM for simple edits (<1ms)
Token Optimizer	Compression, Caching	Reduces token usage 30-50%

🔧 Operations — Background services and integrations

Background daemons handle security audits, performance optimization, and session persistence automatically while you work.

Layer	Components	What It Does
Background	Daemon, 12 Workers	Auto-runs audits, optimization, learning
Security	AIDefence, Validation	Blocks injection, detects threats
Sessions	Persist, Restore, Export	Saves context across conversations
GitHub	PR, Issues, Workflows	Manages repos and code reviews
Analytics	Metrics, Benchmarks	Monitors performance, finds bottlenecks

🎯 Task Routing — Extend your Claude Code subscription by 250%

Smart routing skips expensive LLM calls when possible. Simple edits use WASM (free), medium tasks use cheaper models. This can extend your Claude Code usage by 250% or save significantly on direct API costs.

Complexity	Handler	Speed
Simple	Agent Booster (WASM)	<1ms
Medium	Haiku/Sonnet	~500ms
Complex	Opus + Swarm	2-5s

⚡ Agent Booster (WASM) — Skip LLM for simple code transforms

Agent Booster uses WebAssembly to handle simple code transformations without calling the LLM at all. When the hooks system detects a simple task, it routes directly to Agent Booster for instant results.

Supported Transform Intents:

Intent	What It Does	Example
`var-to-const`	Convert var/let to const	`var x = 1` → `const x = 1`
`add-types`	Add TypeScript type annotations	`function foo(x)` → `function foo(x: string)`
`add-error-handling`	Wrap in try/catch	Adds proper error handling
`async-await`	Convert promises to async/await	`.then()` chains → `await`
`add-logging`	Add console.log statements	Adds debug logging
`remove-console`	Strip console.* calls	Removes all console statements

Hook Signals:

When you see these in hook output, the system is telling you how to optimize:

# Agent Booster available - skip LLM entirely
[AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE] Intent: var-to-const
→ Use Edit tool directly, 352x faster than LLM

# Model recommendation for Task tool
[TASK_MODEL_RECOMMENDATION] Use model="haiku"
→ Pass model="haiku" to Task tool for cost savings

Performance:

Metric	Agent Booster	LLM Call
Latency	<1ms	2-5s
Cost	$0	$0.0002-$0.015
Speedup	352x faster	baseline

💰 Token Optimizer — 30-50% token reduction

The Token Optimizer integrates agentic-flow optimizations to reduce API costs by compressing context and caching results.

Savings Breakdown:

Optimization	Token Savings	How It Works
ReasoningBank retrieval	-32%	Fetches relevant patterns instead of full context
Agent Booster edits	-15%	Simple edits skip LLM entirely
Cache (95% hit rate)	-10%	Reuses embeddings and patterns
Optimal batch size	-20%	Groups related operations
Combined	30-50%	Stacks multiplicatively

Usage:

import { getTokenOptimizer } from '@claude-flow/integration';
const optimizer = await getTokenOptimizer();

// Get compact context (32% fewer tokens)
const ctx = await optimizer.getCompactContext("auth patterns");

// Optimized edit (352x faster for simple transforms)
await optimizer.optimizedEdit(file, oldStr, newStr, "typescript");

// Optimal config for swarm (100% success rate)
const config = optimizer.getOptimalConfig(agentCount);

🛡️ Anti-Drift Swarm Configuration — Prevent goal drift in multi-agent work

Complex swarms can drift from their original goals. Ruflo V3 includes anti-drift defaults that prevent agents from going off-task.

Recommended Configuration:

// Anti-drift defaults (ALWAYS use for coding tasks)
swarm_init({
  topology: "hierarchical",  // Single coordinator enforces alignment
  maxAgents: 8,              // Smaller team = less drift surface
  strategy: "specialized"    // Clear roles reduce ambiguity
})

Why This Prevents Drift:

Setting	Anti-Drift Benefit
`hierarchical`	Coordinator validates each output against goal, catches divergence early
`maxAgents: 6-8`	Fewer agents = less coordination overhead, easier alignment
`specialized`	Clear boundaries - each agent knows exactly what to do, no overlap
`raft` consensus	Leader maintains authoritative state, no conflicting decisions

Additional Anti-Drift Measures:

Frequent checkpoints via post-task hooks
Shared memory namespace for all agents
Short task cycles with verification gates
Hierarchical coordinator reviews all outputs

Task → Agent Routing (Anti-Drift):

Code	Task Type	Recommended Agents
1	Bug Fix	coordinator, researcher, coder, tester
3	Feature	coordinator, architect, coder, tester, reviewer
5	Refactor	coordinator, architect, coder, reviewer
7	Performance	coordinator, perf-engineer, coder
9	Security	coordinator, security-architect, auditor
11	Memory	coordinator, memory-specialist, perf-engineer

Claude Code: With vs Without Ruflo

Capability	Claude Code Alone	Claude Code + Ruflo
Agent Collaboration	Agents work in isolation, no shared context	Agents collaborate via swarms with shared memory and consensus
Coordination	Manual orchestration between tasks	Queen-led hierarchy with 5 consensus algorithms (Raft, Byzantine, Gossip)
Hive Mind	⛔ Not available	🐝 Queen-led swarms with collective intelligence, 3 queen types, 8 worker types
Consensus	⛔ No multi-agent decisions	Byzantine fault-tolerant voting (f < n/3), weighted, majority
Memory	Session-only, no persistence	HNSW vector memory with sub-ms retrieval + knowledge graph
Vector Database	⛔ No native support	🐘 RuVector PostgreSQL with 77+ SQL functions, ~61µs search, 16,400 QPS
Knowledge Graph	⛔ Flat insight lists	PageRank + community detection identifies influential insights (ADR-049)
Collective Memory	⛔ No shared knowledge	Shared knowledge base with LRU cache, SQLite persistence, 8 memory types
Learning	Static behavior, no adaptation	SONA self-learning with <0.05ms adaptation, LearningBridge for insights
Agent Scoping	Single project scope	3-scope agent memory (project/local/user) with cross-agent transfer
Task Routing	You decide which agent to use	Intelligent routing based on learned patterns (89% accuracy)
Complex Tasks	Manual breakdown required	Automatic decomposition across 5 domains (Security, Core, Integration, Support)
Background Workers	Nothing runs automatically	12 context-triggered workers auto-dispatch on file changes, patterns, sessions
LLM Provider	Anthropic only	6 providers with automatic failover and cost-based routing (85% savings)
Security	Standard protections	CVE-hardened with bcrypt, input validation, path traversal prevention
Performance	Baseline	Faster tasks via parallel swarm spawning and intelligent routing

Key Concept: Execution Model

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  CLAUDE-FLOW = ORCHESTRATOR (tracks state, stores memory)       │
│  CODEX = EXECUTOR (writes code, runs commands, implements)      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Codex does the work. Claude-flow coordinates and learns.

Dual-Mode Integration (Claude Code + Codex)

Run Claude Code for interactive development and spawn headless Codex workers for parallel background tasks:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  CLAUDE CODE (interactive)  ←→  CODEX WORKERS (headless)        │
│  - Main conversation         - Parallel background execution    │
│  - Complex reasoning         - Bulk code generation            │
│  - Architecture decisions    - Test execution                   │
│  - Final integration         - File processing                  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

# Spawn parallel Codex workers from Claude Code
claude -p "Analyze src/auth/ for security issues" --session-id "task-1" &
claude -p "Write unit tests for src/api/" --session-id "task-2" &
claude -p "Optimize database queries in src/db/" --session-id "task-3" &
wait  # Wait for all to complete

Dual-Mode Feature	Benefit
Parallel Execution	4-8x faster for bulk tasks
Cost Optimization	Route simple tasks to cheaper workers
Context Preservation	Shared memory across platforms
Best of Both	Interactive + batch processing

Dual-Mode CLI Commands (NEW)

# List collaboration templates
npx @claude-flow/codex dual templates

# Run feature development swarm (architect → coder → tester → reviewer)
npx @claude-flow/codex dual run --template feature --task "Add user auth"

# Run security audit swarm (scanner → analyzer → fixer)
npx @claude-flow/codex dual run --template security --task "src/auth/"

# Run refactoring swarm (analyzer → planner → refactorer → validator)
npx @claude-flow/codex dual run --template refactor --task "src/legacy/"

Pre-Built Collaboration Templates

Template	Pipeline	Platforms
feature	architect → coder → tester → reviewer	Claude + Codex
security	scanner → analyzer → fixer	Codex + Claude
refactor	analyzer → planner → refactorer → validator	Claude + Codex

MCP Integration for Codex

When you run init --codex, the MCP server is automatically registered:

# Verify MCP is registered
codex mcp list

# If not present, add manually:
codex mcp add ruflo -- npx ruflo mcp start

Self-Learning Workflow

1. LEARN:   memory_search(query="task keywords") → Find similar patterns
2. COORD:   swarm_init(topology="hierarchical") → Set up coordination
3. EXECUTE: YOU write code, run commands       → Codex does real work
4. REMEMBER: memory_store(key, value, namespace="patterns") → Save for future

The Intelligence Loop (ADR-050) automates this cycle through hooks. Each session automatically:

Builds a knowledge graph from memory entries (PageRank + Jaccard similarity)
Injects ranked context into every route decision
Tracks edit patterns and generates new insights
Boosts confidence for useful patterns, decays unused ones
Saves snapshots so you can track improvement with node .claude/helpers/hook-handler.cjs stats

🚀 Key Differentiators — Self-learning, memory optimization, fault tolerance

What makes Ruflo different from other agent frameworks? These 10 capabilities work together to create a system that learns from experience, runs efficiently on any hardware, and keeps working even when things go wrong.

	Feature	What It Does	Technical Details
🧠	SONA	Learns which agents perform best for each task type and routes work accordingly	Self-Optimizing Neural Architecture
🔒	EWC++	Preserves learned patterns when training on new ones — no forgetting	Elastic Weight Consolidation prevents catastrophic forgetting
🎯	MoE	Routes tasks through 8 specialized expert networks based on task type	Mixture of 8 Experts with dynamic gating
⚡	Flash Attention	Accelerates attention computation for faster agent responses	Optimized attention via @ruvector/attention
🌐	Hyperbolic Embeddings	Represents hierarchical code relationships in compact vector space	Poincare ball model for hierarchical data
📦	LoRA	Lightweight model adaptation so agents fit in limited memory	Low-Rank Adaptation via @ruvector/sona
🗜️	Int8 Quantization	Converts 32-bit weights to 8-bit with minimal accuracy loss	~4x memory reduction with calibrated integers
🤝	Claims System	Manages task ownership between humans and agents with handoff support	Work ownership with claim/release/handoff protocols
🛡️	Byzantine Consensus	Coordinates agents even when some fail or return bad results	Fault-tolerant, handles up to 1/3 failing agents
🐘	RuVector PostgreSQL	Enterprise-grade vector database with 77+ SQL functions for AI operations	Fast vector search with GNN/attention in SQL

💰 Intelligent 3-Tier Model Routing — Save 75% on API costs, extend Claude Max 2.5x

Not every task needs the most powerful (and expensive) model. Ruflo analyzes each request and automatically routes it to the cheapest handler that can do the job well. Simple code transforms skip the LLM entirely using WebAssembly. Medium tasks use faster, cheaper models. Only complex architecture decisions use Opus.

Cost & Usage Benefits:

Benefit	Impact
💵 API Cost Reduction	75% lower costs by using right-sized models
⏱️ Claude Max Extension	2.5x more tasks within your quota limits
🚀 Faster Simple Tasks	<1ms for transforms vs 2-5s with LLM
🎯 Zero Wasted Tokens	Simple edits use 0 tokens (WASM handles them)

Routing Tiers:

Tier	Handler	Latency	Cost	Use Cases
1	Agent Booster (WASM)	<1ms	$0	Simple transforms: var→const, add-types, remove-console
2	Haiku/Sonnet	500ms-2s	$0.0002-$0.003	Bug fixes, refactoring, feature implementation
3	Opus	2-5s	$0.015	Architecture, security design, distributed systems

Benchmark Results: 100% routing accuracy, 0.57ms avg routing decision latency

📋 Spec-Driven Development — Build complete specs, implement without drift

Complex projects fail when implementation drifts from the original plan. Ruflo solves this with a spec-first approach: define your architecture through ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), organize code into DDD bounded contexts, and let the system enforce compliance as agents work. The result is implementations that match specifications — even across multi-agent swarms working in parallel.

How It Prevents Drift:

Capability	What It Does
🎯 Spec-First Planning	Agents generate ADRs before writing code, capturing requirements and decisions
🔍 Real-Time Compliance	Statusline shows ADR compliance %, catches deviations immediately
🚧 Bounded Contexts	Each domain (Security, Memory, etc.) has clear boundaries agents can't cross
✅ Validation Gates	`hooks progress` blocks merges that violate specifications
🔄 Living Documentation	ADRs update automatically as requirements evolve

Specification Features:

Feature	Description
Architecture Decision Records	10 ADRs defining system behavior, integration patterns, and security requirements
Domain-Driven Design	5 bounded contexts with clean interfaces preventing cross-domain pollution
Automated Spec Generation	Agents create specs from requirements using SPARC methodology
Drift Detection	Continuous monitoring flags when code diverges from spec
Hierarchical Coordination	Queen agent enforces spec compliance across all worker agents

DDD Bounded Contexts:

│  Agents,    │  │  AgentDB,   │  │  AIDefence, │

🛡️ @claude-flow/guidance — Long-horizon governance control plane for Claude Code agents

Overview

@claude-flow/guidance turns CLAUDE.md into a runtime governance system with enforcement gates, cryptographic proofs, and feedback loops. Agents that normally drift after 30 minutes can now operate for days — rules are enforced mechanically at every step, not remembered by the model.

7-phase pipeline: Compile → Retrieve → Enforce → Trust → Prove �� Defend → Evolve

Capability	Description
Compile	Parses `CLAUDE.md` into typed policy bundles (constitution + task-scoped shards)
Retrieve	Intent-classified shard retrieval with semantic similarity and risk filters
Enforce	4 gates the model cannot bypass (destructive ops, tool allowlist, diff size, secrets)
Trust	Per-agent trust accumulation with privilege tiers and coherence-driven throttling
Prove	HMAC-SHA256 hash-chained proof envelopes for cryptographic run auditing
Defend	Prompt injection, memory poisoning, and inter-agent collusion detection
Evolve	Optimizer loop that ranks violations, simulates rule changes, and promotes winners

Install

npm install @claude-flow/guidance@alpha

Quick Usage

import {
  createCompiler,
  createRetriever,
  createGates,
  createLedger,
  createProofChain,
} from '@claude-flow/guidance';

// Compile CLAUDE.md into a policy bundle
const compiler = createCompiler();
const bundle = await compiler.compile(claudeMdText);

// Retrieve task-relevant rules
const retriever = createRetriever();
await retriever.loadBundle(bundle);
const { shards, policyText } = await retriever.retrieve({
  taskDescription: 'Fix authentication bug in login flow',
});

// Enforce gates on tool calls
const gates = createGates(bundle);
const result = gates.evaluate({ tool: 'bash', args: { command: 'rm -rf /' } });
// result.blocked === true

// Audit with proof chain
const chain = createProofChain({ signingKey: process.env.PROOF_KEY! });
const envelope = chain.seal(runEvent);
chain.verify(envelope); // true — tamper-evident

📊 V3 Statusline — Real-time development status for Claude Code

Real-time development status display integrated directly into Claude Code's status bar. Shows DDD progress, swarm activity, security status, AgentDB metrics, and live session data (model, context usage, cost).

How It Works:

Claude Code pipes JSON session data via stdin to the statusline script after each assistant message (debounced ~300ms). The script reads this data and combines it with local project metrics to produce a single-line status output.

Output Format:

▊ Ruflo V3 ● ruvnet  │  ⎇ main  │  Opus 4.6  | ●42% ctx  | $0.15
🏗️ DDD [●●●●○] 4/5  ⚡ HNSW 150x  🤖 ◉ [12/8]  👥 3  🟢 CVE 3/3  💾 512MB  🧠 15%  📦 AgentDB ●1.2K vectors

Indicator	Description	Source
`▊ Ruflo V3`	Project header	Always shown
`● ruvnet`	GitHub user	`gh api user` CLI
`⎇ main`	Current git branch	`git branch --show-current`
`Opus 4.6`	Claude model name	Stdin JSON `model.display_name`
`●42% ctx`	Context window usage	Stdin JSON `context_window.used_percentage`
`$0.15`	Session cost	Stdin JSON `cost.total_cost_usd`
`[●●●●○]`	DDD domain progress bar	`.claude-flow/metrics/v3-progress.json`
`⚡ HNSW 150x`	HNSW search speedup	AgentDB file stats
`◉/○`	Swarm coordination status	Process detection
`[12/8]`	Active agents / max agents	`ps aux` process count
`👥 3`	Sub-agents spawned	Task tool agent count
`🟢 CVE 3/3`	Security CVE remediation	`.claude-flow/security/audit-status.json`
`💾 512MB`	Memory usage	Node.js process RSS
`🧠 15%`	Intelligence score	Pattern count from AgentDB
`📦 AgentDB ●1.2K`	AgentDB vector count	File size estimate (`size / 2KB`)

Setup (Automatic):

Run npx ruflo@alpha init — this generates .claude/settings.json with the correct statusline config and creates the helper script at .claude/helpers/statusline.cjs.

The generated config uses a fast local script (no npx cold-start):

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "node .claude/helpers/statusline.cjs"
  }
}

Note: Only type, command, and padding are valid statusLine fields. Do not add refreshMs, enabled, or other fields — Claude Code will ignore them.

For Existing Users:

If your statusline is not updating, run the upgrade command to regenerate helpers and fix the config:

npx ruflo@alpha init --update --settings

This removes invalid config fields and regenerates the statusline helper with stdin support.

Stdin JSON Protocol:

Claude Code provides session data via stdin in this format:

{
  "model": { "display_name": "Opus 4.6" },
  "context_window": { "used_percentage": 42, "remaining_percentage": 58 },
  "cost": { "total_cost_usd": 0.15, "total_duration_ms": 45000 },
  "workspace": { "current_dir": "/path/to/project" },
  "session_id": "abc-123"
}

The statusline script reads stdin synchronously, falls back to local detection when run manually (TTY mode).

Data Sources:

Stdin JSON — Model name, context %, cost, duration (from Claude Code)
.claude-flow/metrics/v3-progress.json — DDD domain progress
.claude-flow/metrics/swarm-activity.json — Active agent counts
.claude-flow/security/audit-status.json — CVE remediation status
AgentDB files — Vector count (estimated from file size), HNSW index status
Process detection via ps aux — Real-time memory and agent counts
Git branch via git branch --show-current
GitHub user via gh api user

🧠 Infinite Context & Memory Optimization

Ruflo eliminates Claude Code's context window ceiling with a real-time memory management system that archives, optimizes, and restores conversation context automatically.

♾️ Context Autopilot — Never lose context to compaction again

The Problem

Claude Code has a finite context window (~200K tokens). When full, it compacts — summarizing the conversation and discarding details like exact file paths, tool outputs, decision reasoning, and code snippets. This creates a "context cliff" where Claude loses the ability to reference earlier work.

The Solution: Context Autopilot (ADR-051)

Ruflo intercepts the compaction lifecycle with three hooks that make context loss invisible:

Every Prompt                    Context Full                    After Compact
     │                              │                              │
     ▼                              ▼                              ▼
UserPromptSubmit              PreCompact                     SessionStart
     │                              │                              │
 Archive turns              Archive + BLOCK              Restore from archive
 to SQLite                  auto-compaction               via additionalContext
 (incremental)              (exit code 2)                (importance-ranked)
     │                              │                              │
     ▼                              ▼                              ▼
 Track tokens              Manual /compact               Seamless continuation
 Report % used             still allowed                 with full history

How Memory is Optimized

Layer	What It Does	When
Proactive Archiving	Every user prompt archives new turns to SQLite with SHA-256 dedup	Every prompt
Token Tracking	Reads actual API `usage` data (input + cache tokens) for accurate %	Every prompt
Compaction Blocking	PreCompact hook returns exit code 2 to cancel auto-compaction	When context fills
Manual Compact	`/compact` is allowed — archives first, resets autopilot, then compresses	On user request
Importance Ranking	Entries scored by `recency × frequency × richness` for smart retrieval	On restore
Access Tracking	Restored entries get access_count++ creating a relevance feedback loop	On restore
Auto-Pruning	Never-accessed entries older than 30 days are automatically removed	On PreCompact
Content Compaction	Old session entries trimmed to summaries, reducing archive storage	Manual or scheduled
RuVector Sync	SQLite entries auto-replicated to PostgreSQL when configured	On PreCompact

Optimization Thresholds

Zone	Threshold	Statusline	Action
OK	<70%	`🛡️ 43% 86.7K ⊘` (green)	Normal operation, track growth trend
Warning	70-85%	`🛡️ 72% 144K ⊘` (yellow)	Flag approaching limit, archive aggressively
Optimize	85%+	`🛡️ 88% 176K ⟳2` (red)	Prune stale entries, keep responses concise

Real-Time Statusline

The statusline shows live context metrics read from autopilot-state.json:

🛡️  45% 89.2K ⊘  🧠 86%
│    │   │     │    │   │
│    │   │     │    │   └─ Intelligence score (learning.json + patterns + archive)
│    │   │     │    └──── Intelligence indicator
│    │   │     └───────── No prune cycles (⊘) or prune count (⟳N)
│    │   └─────────────── Token count (actual API usage)
│    └─────────────────── Context percentage used
└──────────────────────── Autopilot active (shield icon)

Storage Tiers

Tier	Backend	Storage	Features
1	SQLite (default)	`.claude-flow/data/transcript-archive.db`	WAL mode, indexed queries, ACID, importance ranking
2	RuVector PostgreSQL	Configurable remote	TB-scale, pgvector embeddings, GNN search
3	AgentDB + HNSW	In-memory + persist	150x-12,500x faster semantic search
4	JSON (fallback)	`.claude-flow/data/transcript-archive.json`	Zero dependencies, always works

🧠 Intelligence & Learning

Self-learning hooks, pattern recognition, and intelligent task routing.

🪝 Hooks, Event Hooks, Workers & Pattern Intelligence

What Are Hooks?

Hooks intercept operations (file edits, commands, tasks) and learn from outcomes. Unlike static automation, hooks improve over time by tracking what works and applying those patterns to future tasks.

Concept	Plain English	Technical Details
Hook	Code that runs before/after an action	Event listener with pre/post lifecycle
Pattern	A learned strategy that worked	Vector embedding stored in ReasoningBank
Trajectory	Recording of actions → outcomes	RL episode for SONA training
Routing	Picking the best agent for a task	MoE-based classifier with learned weights

How Hooks Learn (4-Step Pipeline)

Hook Signals (ADR-026 Model Routing)

When hooks run, they emit signals that guide routing decisions. Watch for these in hook output:

Signal	Meaning	Action
`[AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE]`	Simple transform detected, skip LLM	Use Edit tool directly (352x faster, $0)
`[TASK_MODEL_RECOMMENDATION] Use model="haiku"`	Low complexity task	Pass `model: "haiku"` to Task tool
`[TASK_MODEL_RECOMMENDATION] Use model="sonnet"`	Medium complexity task	Pass `model: "sonnet"` to Task tool
`[TASK_MODEL_RECOMMENDATION] Use model="opus"`	High complexity task	Pass `model: "opus"` to Task tool

Agent Booster Intents (handled without LLM):

var-to-const - Convert var/let to const
add-types - Add TypeScript type annotations
add-error-handling - Wrap in try/catch
async-await - Convert promises to async/await
add-logging - Add console.log statements
remove-console - Strip console.* calls

Example Hook Output:

$ npx ruflo@v3alpha hooks pre-task --description "convert var to const in utils.ts"

[AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE] Intent: var-to-const
Recommendation: Use Edit tool directly
Performance: <1ms (352x faster than LLM)
Cost: $0

Intelligence Loop (ADR-050)

The intelligence loop wires PageRank-ranked memory into the hook system. Every session builds a knowledge graph that improves over time:

SessionStart:
  session-restore  → intelligence.init()
    → Read MEMORY.md / auto-memory-store.json
    → Build graph (nodes + similarity/temporal edges)
    → Compute PageRank
    → "[INTELLIGENCE] Loaded 13 patterns, 12 edges"

UserPrompt:
  route            → intelligence.getContext(prompt)
    → Jaccard-match prompt against pre-ranked entries
    → Inject top-5 patterns into Claude's context:

    [INTELLIGENCE] Relevant patterns for this task:
      * (0.95) HNSW gives 150x-12,500x speedup [rank #1, 12x accessed]
      * (0.88) London School TDD preferred [rank #3, 8x accessed]

PostEdit:
  post-edit        → intelligence.recordEdit(file)
    → Append to pending-insights.jsonl (<2ms)

SessionEnd:
  session-end      → intelligence.consolidate()
    → Process pending insights (3+ edits → new entry)
    → Confidence boost for accessed patterns (+0.03)
    → Confidence decay for unused patterns (-0.005/day)
    → Recompute PageRank, rebuild edges
    → Save snapshot for trend tracking

Measuring improvement:

# Human-readable diagnostics
node .claude/helpers/hook-handler.cjs stats

# JSON output for scripting
node .claude/helpers/hook-handler.cjs stats --json

# Or via intelligence.cjs directly
node .claude/helpers/intelligence.cjs stats

The stats command shows:

Section	What It Tells You
Graph	Node/edge count, density %
Confidence	Min/max/mean/median across all patterns
Access	Total accesses, patterns used vs never accessed
PageRank	Sum (~1.0), highest-ranked node
Top Patterns	Top 10 by composite score with access counts
Last Delta	Changes since previous session (confidence shift, access delta)
Trend	Over all sessions: IMPROVING / DECLINING / STABLE

Example output:

+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|  Intelligence Diagnostics (ADR-050)                          |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+

  Graph
    Nodes:    9
    Edges:    8 (7 temporal, 1 similar)
    Density:  22.2%

  Confidence
    Min:      0.490    Max:  0.600
    Mean:     0.556    Median: 0.580

  Access
    Total accesses:     11
    Patterns used:      6/9
    Never accessed:     3

  Top Patterns (by composite score)
    #1  HNSW gives 150x-12,500x speedup
         conf=0.600  pr=0.2099  score=0.3659  accessed=2x
    #2  London School TDD preferred
         conf=0.600  pr=0.1995  score=0.3597  accessed=2x

  Last Delta (5m ago)
    Confidence: +0.0300
    Accesses:   +6

  Trend (3 snapshots)
    Confidence drift:  +0.0422
    Direction:         IMPROVING

🎫 Claims & Work Coordination — Human-Agent Task Management

The Claims system manages who is working on what — whether human or agent. It prevents conflicts, enables handoffs, and balances work across your team.

Why Use Claims?

Problem	Solution
Two agents working on the same file	Claims prevent duplicate work
Agent stuck on a task	Mark as stealable, another agent takes over
Need to hand off work	Structured handoff with context
Unbalanced workload	Automatic rebalancing across agents

How Claims Work

Route Commands

Command	What It Does	Example
`route task`	Get agent recommendation	`npx ruflo@v3alpha route task "implement OAuth2"`
`route explain`	Understand routing decision	`npx ruflo@v3alpha route explain "task"`
`route coverage`	Route based on test coverage	`npx ruflo@v3alpha route coverage`

Example: Route a Task

npx ruflo@v3alpha route task "refactor authentication to use JWT"

# Output:

Coverage-Aware Routing

Routes tasks to agents based on test coverage gaps:

npx ruflo@v3alpha route coverage

# Finds untested code and routes to tester agent:
# • src/auth/jwt.ts - 23% coverage → tester
# • src/api/users.ts - 45% coverage → tester
# • src/utils/crypto.ts - 0% coverage → security-architect + tester

Routing Hooks

# Route via hooks (preferred)
npx ruflo@v3alpha hooks route "implement caching layer" --include-explanation

# Record outcome for learning
npx ruflo@v3alpha hooks post-task --task-id "task-123" --success true --agent coder

How Q-Learning Improves Over Time

Iteration	Action	Result
1	Route "auth task" → coder	❌ Failed (missing security context)
2	Route "auth task" → security-architect	✅ Success
3	Route "auth task" → security-architect	✅ Success
N	Route "auth task" → security-architect	94% confidence (learned)

The system remembers what works and applies it to future similar tasks.

Quick Examples

🧠 Memory & Vector Search

import { AgentDB } from '@claude-flow/memory';

// Initialize with HNSW indexing (150x faster)
const db = new AgentDB({
  path: './data/memory',
  hnsw: { m: 16, efConstruction: 200 }
});

// Store patterns with embeddings
await db.store('auth-pattern', {
  content: 'JWT authentication flow',
  domain: 'security',
  embedding: await db.embed('JWT authentication flow')
});

// Semantic search
const results = await db.search('how to authenticate users', {
  topK: 5,
  minSimilarity: 0.7
});

console.log(results);
// [{ key: 'auth-pattern', similarity: 0.92, content: '...' }]

CLI Commands:

# Initialize memory database
npx ruflo@alpha memory init --force

# Store patterns
npx ruflo@alpha memory store --key "pattern-auth" --value "JWT authentication with refresh tokens"
npx ruflo@alpha memory store --key "pattern-cache" --value "Redis caching for API responses"

# Build HNSW index for 150x-12,500x faster search
npx ruflo@alpha memory search --query "authentication" --build-hnsw

# Semantic search (uses HNSW if built)
npx ruflo@alpha memory search --query "how to cache data" --limit 5

# List and manage entries
npx ruflo@alpha memory list --namespace patterns
npx ruflo@alpha memory stats

🐝 Swarm Coordination

import { createSwarm } from '@claude-flow/swarm';

// Create a hierarchical swarm
const swarm = await createSwarm({
  topology: 'hierarchical',
  maxAgents: 8,
  strategy: 'specialized'
});

// Spawn agents
await swarm.spawn('coder', { name: 'coder-1' });
await swarm.spawn('tester', { name: 'tester-1' });
await swarm.spawn('reviewer', { name: 'reviewer-1' });

// Coordinate a task
const result = await swarm.orchestrate({
  task: 'Implement user authentication',
  strategy: 'adaptive'
});

// Shutdown
await swarm.shutdown({ graceful: true });

🛡️ Security & AIDefence

import { isSafe, checkThreats, createAIDefence } from '@claude-flow/aidefence';

// Quick safety check
if (!isSafe(userInput)) {
  throw new Error('Potentially malicious input detected');
}

// Detailed threat analysis
const result = checkThreats(userInput);
if (!result.safe) {
  console.log('Threats:', result.threats);
  console.log('PII found:', result.piiFound);
}

// With learning enabled
const aidefence = createAIDefence({ enableLearning: true });
const analysis = await aidefence.detect(userInput);

// Provide feedback for learning
await aidefence.learnFromDetection(userInput, analysis, {
  wasAccurate: true,
  userVerdict: 'Confirmed threat'
});

📊 Embeddings — Multi-Provider with Fine-Tuning & Hyperbolic Space

Provider Comparison

Provider	Latency	Quality	Cost	Offline	Best For
Agentic-Flow (ONNX)	~3ms	Good	Free	✅	Production (75x faster)
OpenAI	~50-100ms	Excellent	$0.02-0.13/1M	❌	Highest quality
Transformers.js	~230ms	Good	Free	✅	Local development
Mock	<1ms	N/A	Free	✅	Testing

Basic Usage

import { createEmbeddingService, cosineSimilarity } from '@claude-flow/embeddings';

// Auto-selects best provider (agentic-flow ONNX preferred)
const embeddings = await createEmbeddingService({
  provider: 'auto',        // agentic-flow → transformers → mock
  autoInstall: true,       // Auto-install agentic-flow if missing
  dimensions: 384,
  cache: { enabled: true, maxSize: 10000 }
});

// Generate embeddings
const result = await embeddings.embed('authentication patterns');
console.log(`Generated in ${result.latencyMs}ms`);

// Batch processing with cache stats
const batch = await embeddings.embedBatch([
  'user login flow',
  'password reset',
  'session management'
]);
console.log(`Cache hits: ${batch.cacheStats?.hits}`);

// Compare similarity
const similarity = cosineSimilarity(batch.embeddings[0], batch.embeddings[1]);
// 0.94 (high similarity)

Document Chunking

Split long documents into overlapping chunks:

import { chunkText, estimateTokens } from '@claude-flow/embeddings';

const result = chunkText(longDocument, {
  maxChunkSize: 512,
  overlap: 50,
  strategy: 'sentence',  // 'character' | 'sentence' | 'paragraph' | 'token'
  minChunkSize: 100,
});

console.log(`Created ${result.totalChunks} chunks`);
result.chunks.forEach((chunk, i) => {
  console.log(`Chunk ${i}: ${chunk.length} chars, ~${chunk.tokenCount} tokens`);
});

Normalization Options

Normalize embeddings for consistent similarity:

import { l2Normalize, l1Normalize, minMaxNormalize, zScoreNormalize } from '@claude-flow/embeddings';

// L2 normalize (unit vector - most common for cosine similarity)
const l2 = l2Normalize(embedding);  // [0.6, 0.8, 0]

// Other normalizations
const l1 = l1Normalize(embedding);       // Manhattan norm = 1
const minMax = minMaxNormalize(embedding); // Values in [0, 1]
const zScore = zScoreNormalize(embedding); // Mean 0, std 1

Hyperbolic Embeddings (Poincaré Ball)

Better representation for hierarchical code structures:

import {
  euclideanToPoincare,
  hyperbolicDistance,
  hyperbolicCentroid,
  mobiusAdd,
} from '@claude-flow/embeddings';

// Convert to hyperbolic space (better for tree-like structures)
const poincare = euclideanToPoincare(embedding);

// Hyperbolic distance (geodesic in Poincaré ball)
const dist = hyperbolicDistance(embedding1, embedding2);

// Hyperbolic centroid (Fréchet mean)
const centroid = hyperbolicCentroid([embed1, embed2, embed3]);

// Why hyperbolic? Better for:
// - Parent-child relationships (class inheritance)
// - Directory hierarchies
// - Taxonomy structures
// - Lower distortion for tree-like data

Neural Substrate Integration (Fine-Tuning)

Access neural features for embedding adaptation:

import { createNeuralService, isNeuralAvailable } from '@claude-flow/embeddings';

// Check availability

1000 files	5.87 min	1 second	352x

# Single file edit
npx agentic-flow agent-booster edit \
  --file src/api.ts \
  --instructions "Add error handling" \
  --code 'try { ... } catch (error) { ... }'

# Batch rename across codebase
npx agentic-flow agent-booster batch-rename \
  --pattern "getUserData" \
  --replacement "fetchUserProfile" \
  --glob "src/**/*.ts"

✅ Code formatting, signature updates
❌ Complex refactoring (use LLM)
❌ Bug fixes requiring reasoning (use LLM)

ROI Example: 1000 edits/day saves $10/day + 5.86 minutes = $3,650/year

🧠 ReasoningBank — Learning Memory System

ReasoningBank stores successful patterns for future retrieval:

import { ReasoningBank } from 'agentic-flow/reasoningbank';

const bank = new ReasoningBank();

// Record successful outcome
await bank.recordOutcome({
  task: 'implement authentication',
  outcome: 'JWT with refresh tokens',
  success: true,
  context: { framework: 'express' }
});

// Retrieve similar patterns for new task
const patterns = await bank.retrieveSimilar('add user login', { k: 5 });
// Returns past successful auth implementations

// Judge and distill learnings
await bank.judge(trajectoryId, 'success');
await bank.distill();  // Extract key patterns
await bank.consolidate();  // Prevent forgetting (EWC++)

4-Step Pipeline:

RETRIEVE — Fetch relevant patterns via HNSW (150x faster)
JUDGE — Evaluate outcomes with verdicts
DISTILL — Extract key learnings via LoRA
CONSOLIDATE — Prevent catastrophic forgetting (EWC++)

🔢 ONNX Embeddings — 75x Faster Local Vectors

Generate embeddings locally without API calls:

import { getOptimizedEmbedder, cosineSimilarity } from 'agentic-flow/embeddings';

const embedder = getOptimizedEmbedder();
await embedder.init();

// Generate embedding (3ms local vs 230ms Transformers.js)
const vector = await embedder.embed('authentication patterns');

// Batch processing
const vectors = await embedder.embedBatch([
  'user login flow',
  'password reset',
  'session management'
]);

// Calculate similarity
const similarity = cosineSimilarity(vectors[0], vectors[1]);

Provider	Latency	Cost	Offline
Agentic-Flow ONNX	~3ms	Free	✅
Transformers.js	~230ms	Free	✅
OpenAI	~50-100ms	$0.02-0.13/1M	❌

📐 Embedding Geometry — Intelligence as Geometry

Advanced patterns treating embeddings as geometric control surfaces:

Semantic Drift Detection:

import { getOptimizedEmbedder, cosineSimilarity } from 'agentic-flow/embeddings';

const embedder = getOptimizedEmbedder();
let baseline: Float32Array;

// Set baseline context
baseline = await embedder.embed('User asking about API authentication');

// Check for drift
const current = await embedder.embed(userMessage);
const drift = 1 - cosineSimilarity(baseline, current);

if (drift > 0.15) {
  console.log('Semantic drift detected - escalate');
}

Memory Physics:

Temporal decay (forgetting)
Interference detection (nearby memories weaken)
Memory consolidation (merge similar patterns)

Swarm Coordination:

// Agents coordinate via embedding positions, not messages
const agentPosition = await embedder.embed(agentRole);
const taskPosition = await embedder.embed(currentTask);

// Geometric alignment for task routing
const alignment = cosineSimilarity(agentPosition, taskPosition);

Coherence Monitoring:

// Detect model degradation/poisoning via embedding drift
await monitor.calibrate(knownGoodOutputs);
const result = await monitor.check(newOutput);
if (result.anomalyScore > 1.5) {
  console.log('WARNING: Output drifting from baseline');
}

🔀 Multi-Model Router — Intelligent Model Selection

Route tasks to optimal models based on complexity:

import { ModelRouter } from 'agentic-flow/router';

const router = new ModelRouter();

// Automatic routing based on task complexity
const result = await router.route({
  task: 'Add console.log to function',
  preferCost: true
});
// Returns: { model: 'haiku', reason: 'simple task, low complexity' }

const result2 = await router.route({
  task: 'Design distributed caching architecture'
});
// Returns: { model: 'opus', reason: 'complex architecture, high reasoning' }

Complexity	Model	Cost	Use Case
Agent Booster intent	Skip LLM	$0	var→const, add-types
Low (<30%)	Haiku	$0.0002	Simple fixes, docs
Medium (30-70%)	Sonnet	$0.003	Features, debugging
High (>70%)	Opus	$0.015	Architecture, security

Savings: 30-50% on LLM costs through intelligent routing

console.log(TEST_CONFIG.AGENTDB_SEARCH_IMPROVEMENT_MAX); // 12500

Best Practices

Practice	Do	Don't
Mock Dependencies	`mockRepo.findById.mockResolvedValue(user)`	Call real database
Use Fixtures	`agentConfigs.queenCoordinator`	Inline object literals
Test Behavior	`expect(mockNotifier.notify).toHaveBeenCalled()`	`expect(service._queue.length).toBe(1)`
Isolate Tests	`vi.clearAllMocks()` in `beforeEach`	Share state between tests
Verify Interactions	`expect(save).toHaveBeenCalledBefore(notify)`	Assert implementation details

Ruflo v3 — платформа оркестрации AI для предприятия

Ruflo (ранее Claude Flow) — это фреймворк для координации множества AI-агентов, работающий поверх Claude Code и других LLM. Позволяет разворачивать, запускать и оптимизировать десятки специализированных агентов, которые совместно решают сложные задачи разработки. В основе — WASM-ядра на Rust, отвечающие за политики, эмбеддинги и систему доказательств. Проект насчитывает более 5800 коммитов, текущая версия — v3.5.

Основные возможности

60+ готовых агентов: кодер, тестировщик, ревьюер, архитектор, security-аналитик, DevOps и другие. Каждый агент заточен под свою роль.
Координированные рои: агенты работают группами, общаются, делят задачи и контекст. Поддерживаются топологии: иерархическая (queen/workers), mesh, ring, star. Консенсус — Raft, BFT, Gossip, CRDT.
Обучение на рабочем процессе: система запоминает успешные паттерны, маршрутизирует похожие задачи к лучшим агентам, самооптимизируется.
Работа с любыми LLM: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Cohere, локальные модели (Ollama, Llama). Автоматический failover, умный выбор самой дешёвой модели под задачу.
Интеграция с Claude Code: через MCP (Model Context Protocol). Команды Ruflo доступны прямо в Claude Code.
Безопасность: защита от prompt injection, валидация ввода, блокировка path traversal, command injection, безопасное хранение учётных данных.
Расширяемость: плагины через SDK, можно создавать воркеры, хуки, провайдеры, модули безопасности. Плагины распространяются через децентрализованный IPFS-маркетплейс.

Установка

# Однострочная установка (рекомендуется)
curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ruvnet/claude-flow@main/scripts/install.sh | bash

# Полная установка с MCP и диагностикой
curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ruvnet/claude-flow@main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --full

# Или через npx
npx ruflo@alpha init --wizard

Архитектура

Запросы проходят четыре слоя:

Пользователь: Claude Code, CLI.
Оркестрация: MCP-сервер, маршрутизатор, хуки. Направляет запросы нужным агентам.
Агенты: 60+ типов специализированных воркеров.
Провайдеры: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama и другие.

Рои управляются королевами (queens), которые распределяют задачи, предотвращают дрейф целей и достигают консенсуса. Поддерживаются три типа королев: стратегическая (планирование), тактическая (исполнение), адаптивная (оптимизация).

RuVector — слой интеллекта

Компонент, входящий в Ruflo, который обеспечивает самообучение и быстрый поиск:

SONA — самооптимизирующаяся нейронная архитектура, адаптация < 0.05 мс.
EWC++ — эластичная консолидация весов, предотвращает катастрофическое забывание.
Flash Attention — ускорение внимания в 2.49–7.47x.
HNSW — иерархический навигационный поиск, ускорение до 12 500x.
ReasoningBank — хранилище паттернов с траекториями обучения (RETRIEVE → JUDGE → DISTILL → CONSOLIDATE → ROUTE).
Hyperbolic (Poincaré) — эмбеддинги для иерархических данных.
LoRA/MicroLoRA — сжатие в 128 раз.
Int8 Quantization — снижение потребления памяти в 3.92x.
9 RL-алгоритмов: Q-Learning, SARSA, A2C, PPO, DQN, Decision Transformer и др.

Проверить статус RuVector можно командой:

npx ruflo@alpha hooks intelligence --status

Agent Booster (WASM) — мгновенные трансформации кода

Для простых задач (например, замена var на const, добавление типов TypeScript, оборачивание в try/catch, конвертация промисов в async/await) Agent Booster использует WebAssembly, минуя LLM. Латенция < 1 мс, стоимость $0, ускорение до 352x.

Когда в выводе хуков появляется [AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE], вы можете использовать Edit-инструмент напрямую, не вызывая LLM.

Token Optimizer — снижение расхода токенов на 30–50%

Оптимизатор интегрируется с agentic-flow и уменьшает потребление API-токенов за счёт:

ReasoningBank (сокращение контекста на 32%)
Agent Booster (пропуск LLM для простых правок, −15%)
Кэш с hit rate 95% (−10%)
Оптимальный размер батча (−20%)

Пример использования в коде:

import { getTokenOptimizer } from '@claude-flow/integration';
const optimizer = await getTokenOptimizer();

// Компактный контекст
const ctx = await optimizer.getCompactContext('auth patterns');

// Оптимизированное редактирование
await optimizer.optimizedEdit(file, oldStr, newStr, 'typescript');

// Оптимальная конфигурация для роя
const config = optimizer.getOptimalConfig(agentCount);

Анти-дрифт конфигурация для роев

Чтобы агенты не уходили от цели, рекомендуется использовать:

swarm_init({
  topology: 'hierarchical',
  maxAgents: 8,
  strategy: 'specialized',
  consensus: 'raft'
});

Иерархическая топология: координатор проверяет каждый вывод, ловит отклонения на ранней стадии.
Ограничение числа агентов (6–8): меньше накладных расходов на координацию.
Специализация: чёткие роли снижают неоднозначность.
Raft-консенсус: единое авторитетное состояние.

Дополнительно: частые чекпоинты, общее пространство имён памяти, короткие циклы задач с проверками.

Быстрый старт

После установки выполните:

npx ruflo@alpha --help

Для использования в Claude Code добавьте MCP-сервер Ruflo в конфигурацию. Документация по настройке MCP — на странице проекта.

Ссылки

Важно: Ruflo находится в активной разработке (alpha). Для production-среды обязательно включите AIDefence и используйте анти-дрифт конфигурации. Всегда тестируйте на изолированных средах перед развёртыванием.
