SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @anthropic-ai/claude-code, claude-flow.

What problem does it solve? Coordinating large-scale multi-agent coding work manually is slow and error-prone. This Skill lets you deploy coordinated Claude Code agent swarms through Ruflo (claude-flow) to break down, execute, and review complex software tasks in parallel. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Swarm Orchestration: Deploy agent swarms with claude-flow swarm <goal> using hierarchical, mesh, ring, or star topologies. - Specialized Agent Roles: Auto-assigned coordinator, executor, reviewer, optimizer, and researcher agents with persistent memory and RAG integration. - Federated & Hive Mind Modes: Coordinate agents across machines and monitor execution through a live web dashboard. - Use Case: Run claude-flow swarm "Migrate from Express to Fastify" --topology ring --max-agents 6 to sequentially analyze, plan, refactor, and test a codebase with multiple cooperating agents. ## Quick Start Install Claude Code and claude-flow globally with npm, then ask the agent to run claude-flow swarm with your coding goal to deploy a coordinated agent swarm.

Frequently Asked Questions about ruflo

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a multi-agent swarm with claude-flow?

Run claude-flow swarm followed by your goal in quotes, for example claude-flow swarm "Build a REST API with auth". Add --max-agents to limit concurrency and --topology to choose hierarchical, mesh, ring, or star coordination.

What is the difference between claude-flow swarm topologies?

Hierarchical suits complex multi-step tasks, mesh fits parallel independent subtasks, ring handles sequential pipelines, and star uses a central coordinator with workers. Star is the default topology.

When should I use Ruflo instead of built-in subagents?

Use native delegation for quick parallel reasoning, reviews, and debugging at zero extra cost. Choose Ruflo when you need 50+ agent swarms, cross-machine federation, or self-learning swarm memory, accepting separate Anthropic API costs.

Does claude-flow require Claude Code to be installed?

Yes, claude-flow requires the Claude Code CLI installed via npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code and authenticated through OAuth login or an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Ruflo itself is installed with npm install -g claude-flow.

Why does claude-flow report command not found?

The error means the package is not installed globally. Run npm install -g claude-flow, then verify with claude-flow --version. Also confirm Claude Code is installed with claude --version.

What are the limitations of running agent swarms with Ruflo?

Ruflo requires a Node.js/TypeScript environment and makes its own Anthropic API calls, incurring separate token costs. Swarms can hang if agents become unhealthy, so check claude-flow status and adjust --max-agents when rate limited.
