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 claude-flow 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

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

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

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: 10-20x faster batch spawning, 84.8% SWE-Bench solve rate

The system stores successful patterns in vector memory, 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 150x faster

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 = 1const 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

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);

Complex swarms can drift from their original goals. Claude-Flow 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

Not every task needs the most powerful (and expensive) model. Claude-Flow 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.

Complex projects fail when implementation drifts from the original plan. Claude-Flow 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

🔌 Setup & Configuration

Connect Claude-Flow to your development environment.

Claude-Flow runs as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing you to connect it to any MCP-compatible AI client. This means you can use Claude-Flow's 60+ agents, swarm coordination, and self-learning capabilities from Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, and more.

Quick Add Command

# Start Claude-Flow MCP server in any environment
npx claude-flow@v3alpha mcp start

Config Location:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Access: Claude → Settings → Developers → Edit Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-flow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["claude-flow@v3alpha", "mcp", "start"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. Look for the MCP indicator (hammer icon) in the input box.

Usage:

# Default: Safe multi-line (avoids Claude Code collision zone)
npx claude-flow@v3alpha hooks statusline

# Single-line mode (completely avoids collision)
npx claude-flow@v3alpha hooks statusline --single

# Legacy multi-line (original behavior, may have bleeding)
npx claude-flow@v3alpha hooks statusline --legacy

# JSON output for scripting
npx claude-flow@v3alpha hooks statusline --json

# Compact JSON (single line)
npx claude-flow@v3alpha hooks statusline --compact

Collision Zone Fix (Issue #985):

Claude Code writes internal status (e.g., 7s • 1p) at absolute terminal coordinates (columns 15-25 on the second-to-last line). The safe mode pads the collision line with spaces to push content past column 25, preventing character bleeding.

Option

Description

(default)

Safe multi-line with collision zone avoidance

--single

Single-line output (complete collision avoidance)

--legacy

Original multi-line (may cause bleeding)

--json

JSON output with pretty printing

--compact

# Initialize embeddings system
npx claude-flow@v3alpha embeddings init

# Generate embedding for text
npx claude-flow@v3alpha embeddings embed "authentication patterns"

# Batch embed multiple texts
npx claude-flow@v3alpha embeddings batch --file texts.txt

# Search with semantic similarity
npx claude-flow@v3alpha embeddings search "login flow" --top-k 5

Programmatic:

import { createEmbeddingServiceAsync } from '@claude-flow/embeddings';

const service = await createEmbeddingServiceAsync({
  model: 'all-MiniLM-L6-v2',
  hyperbolic: true,  // Enable Poincaré ball embeddings
  cacheSize: 256
});

// Generate embedding
const embedding = await service.embed("authentication flow");

// Search similar patterns
const results = await service.search("login", { topK: 5 });

🧠 Intelligence & Learning

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

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

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 claude-flow@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

Example Workflows

Start Development Session:

# Initialize everything
.claude/helpers/v3.sh init
.claude/helpers/daemon-manager.sh start 3 5
.claude/helpers/worker-manager.sh start 60

# Check status
.claude/helpers/v3.sh full-status

Swarm Development:

# Start swarm monitoring
.claude/helpers/swarm-monitor.sh --watch &

# Initialize swarm hooks
.claude/helpers/swarm-hooks.sh init

# Monitor agent communication
.claude/helpers/swarm-comms.sh listen

Learning & Pattern Management:

# Start learning service
node .claude/helpers/learning-service.mjs &

# Consolidate patterns after session
.claude/helpers/pattern-consolidator.sh

# Optimize learned patterns
.claude/helpers/learning-optimizer.sh --aggressive

Configuration

Helpers are configured in .claude/settings.json:

{
  "helpers": {
    "directory": ".claude/helpers",
    "enabled": true,
    "v3ProgressUpdater": ".claude/helpers/update-v3-progress.sh",
    "autoStart": ["daemon-manager.sh", "worker-manager.sh"]
  }
}

Skills are reusable workflows that combine agents, hooks, and patterns into ready-to-use solutions. Think of them as "recipes" for common development tasks.

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

Coverage-Aware Routing

Routes tasks to agents based on test coverage gaps:

npx claude-flow@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 claude-flow@v3alpha hooks route "implement caching layer" --include-explanation

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

How Q-Learning Improves Over Time

Iteration

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.


💻 Programmatic Usage

Use Claude-Flow packages directly in your applications.

Use Claude-Flow packages directly in your TypeScript/JavaScript applications.

Installation

# Install specific packages
npm install @claude-flow/cli @claude-flow/memory @claude-flow/swarm

# Or install everything
npm install claude-flow@v3alpha

Quick Examples

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 claude-flow@alpha memory init --force

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

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

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

# List and manage entries
npx claude-flow@alpha memory list --namespace patterns
npx claude-flow@alpha memory stats
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 });
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'
});

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
const available = await isNeuralAvailable();

// Create neural service
const neural = createNeuralService({ dimension: 384 });
await neural.init();

if (neural.isAvailable()) {
  // Semantic drift detection (catches context drift)
  await neural.setDriftBaseline('Initial context');
  const drift = await neural.detectDrift('New input to check');
  console.log('Drift:', drift?.trend);  // 'stable' | 'drifting' | 'accelerating'

  // Memory with interference detection
  const stored = await neural.storeMemory('mem-1', 'Important pattern');
  console.log('Interference:', stored?.interference);

  // Recall by similarity
  const memories = await neural.recallMemories('query', 5);

  // Coherence calibration (fine-tune quality detection)
  await neural.calibrateCoherence(['good output 1', 'good output 2']);
  const coherence = await neural.checkCoherence('Output to verify');

  // Swarm coordination via embeddings
  await neural.addSwarmAgent('agent-1', 'researcher');
  const coordination = await neural.coordinateSwarm('Complex task');
}

Persistent SQLite Cache

Long-term embedding storage with LRU eviction:

import { PersistentEmbeddingCache } from '@claude-flow/embeddings';

const cache = new PersistentEmbeddingCache({
  dbPath: './embeddings.db',
  maxSize: 10000,
  ttlMs: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,  // 7 days
});

await cache.init();
await cache.set('my text', new Float32Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3]));
const embedding = await cache.get('my text');

const stats = await cache.getStats();
console.log(`Hit rate: ${(stats.hitRate * 100).toFixed(1)}%`);

Use Cases:

  • ✅ Variable/function renaming across files

  • ✅ Adding imports, type annotations

  • ✅ 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 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:

  1. RETRIEVE — Fetch relevant patterns via HNSW (150x faster)

  2. JUDGE — Evaluate outcomes with verdicts

  3. DISTILL — Extract key learnings via LoRA

  4. CONSOLIDATE — Prevent catastrophic forgetting (EWC++)

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]);

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');
}

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' }

In-database (attention, GNN)

Native Rust implementation of Flash Attention for transformer computations:

import { FlashAttention } from '@ruvector/attention';

const attention = new FlashAttention({
  blockSize: 32,      // L1 cache optimized
  dimensions: 384,
  temperature: 1.0,
  useCPUOptimizations: true
});

// Compute attention with O(N) memory instead of O(N²)
const result = attention.attention(queries, keys, values);
console.log(`Computed in ${result.computeTimeMs}ms`);

// Benchmark against naive implementation
const bench = attention.benchmark(512, 384, 5);
console.log(`Speedup: ${bench.speedup}x`);
console.log(`Memory reduction: ${bench.memoryReduction}x`);

Key Optimizations:

  • Block-wise computation (fits L1 cache)

  • 8x loop unrolling for dot products

  • Top-K sparse attention (12% of keys)

  • Two-stage screening for large key sets

  • Online softmax for numerical stability

SONA provides runtime-adaptive learning with minimal overhead:

import { SONA } from '@ruvector/sona';

const sona = new SONA({
  enableLoRA: true,       // Low-rank adaptation
  enableEWC: true,        // Elastic Weight Consolidation
  learningRate: 0.001
});

// Start learning trajectory
const trajectory = sona.startTrajectory('task-123');

// Record steps during execution
trajectory.recordStep({
  type: 'observation',
  content: 'Found authentication bug'
});
trajectory.recordStep({
  type: 'action',
  content: 'Applied JWT validation fix'
});

// Complete trajectory with verdict
await trajectory.complete('success');

// EWC++ consolidation (prevents forgetting)
await sona.consolidate();

Features:

  • LoRA: Low-rank adaptation for efficient fine-tuning

  • EWC++: Prevents catastrophic forgetting

  • ReasoningBank: Pattern storage with similarity search

  • Sub-millisecond: <0.05ms adaptation overhead

High-performance graph database with Cypher query support:

import { GraphDB } from '@ruvector/graph-node';

const db = new GraphDB({ path: './data/graph' });

// Create nodes and relationships
await db.query(`
  CREATE (a:Agent {name: 'coder', type: 'specialist'})
  CREATE (b:Agent {name: 'reviewer', type: 'specialist'})
  CREATE (a)-[:COLLABORATES_WITH {weight: 0.9}]->(b)
`);

// Query patterns
const result = await db.query(`
  MATCH (a:Agent)-[r:COLLABORATES_WITH]->(b:Agent)
  WHERE r.weight > 0.8
  RETURN a.name, b.name, r.weight

});

Performance vs WASM:

  • 10x faster query execution

  • Native memory management

  • Zero-copy data transfer

Integration with Claude-Flow

Claude-Flow automatically uses RuVector when available:

// Claude-Flow detects and uses native ruvector
import { getVectorStore } from '@claude-flow/memory';

const store = await getVectorStore();
// Uses ruvector if installed, falls back to sql.js

// HNSW-indexed search (150x faster)
const results = await store.search(queryVector, 10);

// Flash Attention for pattern matching
const attention = await getFlashAttention();
const similarity = attention.attention(queries, keys, values);

CLI Commands

# RuVector PostgreSQL Setup (generates Docker files + SQL)
npx claude-flow ruvector setup                    # Output to ./ruvector-postgres
npx claude-flow ruvector setup --output ./mydir   # Custom directory
npx claude-flow ruvector setup --print            # Preview files

# Import from sql.js/JSON to PostgreSQL
npx claude-flow ruvector import --input data.json              # Direct import
npx claude-flow ruvector import --input data.json --output sql # Dry-run (generate SQL)

# Other RuVector commands
npx claude-flow ruvector status --verbose         # Check connection
npx claude-flow ruvector benchmark --vectors 10000 # Performance test
npx claude-flow ruvector optimize --analyze       # Optimization suggestions
npx claude-flow ruvector backup --output backup.sql # Backup data

# Native ruvector CLI
npx ruvector status                               # Check installation
npx ruvector benchmark --vectors 10000 --dimensions 384

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

{
  "mode": "basic",
  "patternStore": "./patterns",
  "maxAgents": 10
}

V3 Config (claude-flow.config.json):

{
  "version": "3.0.0",
  "memory": {
    "type": "hybrid",
    "path": "./data",
    "hnsw": { "m": 16, "ef": 200 }
  },
  "swarm": {
    "topology": "hierarchical",
    "maxAgents": 15,
    "strategy": "specialized"
  },
  "security": { "mode": "strict" },
  "neural": { "enabled": true, "sona": true }
}

Import Changes

// V2 (deprecated)
import { ClaudeFlow, Agent, Memory } from 'claude-flow';

// V3 (new)
import { ClaudeFlowClient } from '@claude-flow/cli';
import { AgentDB } from '@claude-flow/memory';
import { ThreatDetector } from '@claude-flow/security';
import { HNSWIndex } from '@claude-flow/embeddings';

Rollback Procedure

If migration fails, you can rollback:

# Check rollback options
npx claude-flow@v3alpha migrate rollback --list

# Rollback to V2
npx claude-flow@v3alpha migrate rollback --to v2

# Restore backup manually if needed
rm -rf ./data
cp -r ./data-backup-v2 ./data

Post-Migration Checklist

  • Verify all agents spawn correctly: npx claude-flow@v3alpha agent list

  • Check memory search works: npx claude-flow@v3alpha memory search -q "test"

  • Confirm MCP server starts: npx claude-flow@v3alpha mcp start

  • Run doctor diagnostics: npx claude-flow@v3alpha doctor

  • Test a simple swarm: npx claude-flow@v3alpha swarm init --topology mesh

  • Bootstrap learning: npx claude-flow@v3alpha hooks pretrain
