# Ruflo
**Multi-agent AI orchestration for Claude Code**
Orchestrate 100+ specialized AI agents across machines, teams, and trust boundaries. Ruflo adds coordinated swarms, self-learning memory, federated comms, and enterprise security to Claude Code β so agents don't just run, they collaborate.
### Why Ruflo?
> Claude Flow is now Ruflo β named by [`rUv`](https://ruv.io), who loves Rust, flow states, and building things that feel inevitable. The "Ru" is the rUv. The "flo" is working until 3am. Underneath, powered by [`Cognitum.One`](https://cognitum.one/?RuFlo) agentic architecture, running a supercharged Rust based AI engine, embeddings, memory, and plugin system.
### What Ruflo Does
One `npx ruvflo init` gives Claude Code a nervous system: agents self-organize into swarms, learn from every task, remember across sessions, and β with federation β securely talk to agents on other machines without leaking data. You keep writing code. Ruflo handles the coordination.
```
Self-Learning / Self-Optimizing Agent Architecture
User --> Ruflo (CLI/MCP) --> Router --> Swarm --> Agents --> Memory --> LLM Providers
^ |
+---- Learning Loop <-------+
```
> **New to Ruflo?** You don't need to learn 314 MCP tools or 26 CLI commands. After `init`, just use Claude Code normally -- the hooks system automatically routes tasks, learns from successful patterns, and coordinates agents in the background.
---
## Quick Start
There are **two different install paths** with very different surface areas. Pick based on what you need (#1744):
| | **Claude Code Plugin** | **CLI install (`npx ruflo init`)** |
|---|---|---|
| What it gives you | Slash commands + a few skills + agent definitions per-plugin | Full Ruflo loop β 98 agents, 60+ commands, 30 skills, MCP server, hooks, daemon |
| Files in your workspace | **Zero** | `.claude/`, `.claude-flow/`, `CLAUDE.md`, helpers, settings |
| MCP server registered | **No** (`memory_store`, `swarm_init`, etc. unavailable to Claude) | Yes |
| Hooks installed | No | Yes |
| Best for | Try a single plugin's commands without committing to the full install | Production use β everything works as documented |
### Path A β Claude Code Plugins (lite, slash commands only)
```bash
# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo
# Install core + any plugins you need
/plugin install ruflo-core@ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-swarm@ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-autopilot@ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-federation@ruflo
```
This adds slash commands and agent definitions only. The Ruflo MCP server is NOT registered, so `memory_store`, `swarm_init`, `agent_spawn`, etc. won't be callable from Claude. For the full loop, use Path B below.

### Web UI (Beta) β self-hostable, hosted demo at [flo.ruv.io](https://flo.ruv.io/)
**RuFlo's web UI is a multi-model AI chat with built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calling.** Talk to Qwen, Claude, Gemini, or OpenAI while RuFlo invokes the same MCP tools the CLI uses β agent orchestration, persistent memory, swarm coordination, code review, GitHub ops β directly from chat. No install, no API key needed to try it.
| | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|------------|----------------|
| π§ | **Any model, local or remote** | 6 curated frontier models out-of-the-box β Qwen 3.6 Max (default), Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Haiku 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash, OpenAI β via OpenRouter. Add your own: any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (vLLM, Ollama, LM Studio, Together, Groq, self-hosted). |
| π¦Ύ | **ruvLLM self-learning AI** | Native support for [ruvLLM](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuVector/tree/main/examples/ruvLLM) (lives in `ruvnet/RuVector/examples/ruvLLM`) β RuFlo's self-improving local model layer. Routes to MicroLoRA adapters, learns from your trajectories via SONA, and stays on your machine. Pair with the cloud models or run fully offline. |
| π οΈ | **~210 tools, ready to call** | 5 server groups (Core, Intelligence, Agents, Memory, DevTools) plus an 18-tool gallery that runs entirely in your browser β works offline. |
| π | **Bring your own MCP servers** | Click the **MCP (n)** pill in the chat input β *Add Server* and paste any MCP endpoint (HTTP, SSE, or stdio). Your tools join RuFlo's native ones in the same parallel-execution flow. Run a local MCP server on `localhost:3000` and it just works. |
| β‘ | **Tools run in parallel** | One model response can fire 4β6+ tools at the same time. The UI shows them as cards with a *Step 1 β 2 tools completed* badge so you can see exactly what ran. |
| πΎ | **Memory that sticks** | Say *"remember my favorite color is indigo"* and ask weeks later β RuFlo recalls it. Backed by AgentDB + HNSW vector search (β₯150Γ faster than brute force). |
| π | **Built-in capabilities tour** | Click the question-mark icon in the sidebar β a "RuFlo Capabilities" modal opens with the full tool list, model strengths, architecture, and keyboard shortcuts. |
| π | **Self-hostable** | Web UI is shipped as Docker (`ruflo/src/ruvocal/Dockerfile`) with embedded Mongo. Deploy to your own Cloud Run / Fly / Kubernetes / docker-compose. The hosted [flo.ruv.io](https://flo.ruv.io/) demo is one option; running your own is fully supported. |
| π | **Zero install to try** | Open the hosted URL, pick a model, type a question. That's the whole onboarding. |
**Try the hosted demo:** [https://flo.ruv.io/](https://flo.ruv.io/) β no account, no API key. **Run your own:** the source lives in [`ruflo/src/ruvocal/`](ruflo/src/ruvocal/) with a multi-stage Dockerfile (`INCLUDE_DB=true` builds in MongoDB) and a `cloudbuild.yaml` for Google Cloud Run. See [ADR-033](ruflo/docs/adr/ADR-033-RUVOCAL-WASM-MCP-INTEGRATION.md) for the architecture and [issue #1689](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/issues/1689) for the roadmap.
### Goal Planner UI β autonomous agents at [goal.ruv.io](https://goal.ruv.io/)
**Turn high-level goals into executable agent plans.** `goal.ruv.io` is RuFlo's hosted Goal-Oriented Action Planning (GOAP) front-end β describe an outcome in plain English and watch RuFlo decompose it into preconditions, actions, and an A* path through state space, then dispatch the work to live agents at [`/agents`](https://goal.ruv.io/agents).
| | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|------------|----------------|
| π― | **Plain-English goals** | Type *"ship the auth refactor with tests and a PR"* β RuFlo extracts the success criteria, the constraints, and the implicit preconditions. No JSON, no DSL. |
| π§ | **GOAP A\* planner** | Classic gaming-AI planning ported to software work: state-space search through actions with preconditions/effects to find the shortest viable path. Replans on the fly when state changes. |
| π€ | **Live agent dashboard** | [goal.ruv.io/agents](https://goal.ruv.io/agents) shows every spawned agent β role, current step, memory namespace, token budget, status. Click in to inspect trajectories, kill runaway workers, or reassign. |
| π³ | **Visual plan tree** | Goals render as collapsible action trees with progress, blocked branches, and rollbacks highlighted. See *exactly* why an agent picked a path β no opaque chain-of-thought. |
| β»οΈ | **Adaptive replanning** | When an action fails or new info arrives, the planner re-runs A\* from the current state instead of restarting. Failures become learning, not loops. |
| π§ | **Shared memory + SONA** | Plans, trajectories, and outcomes flow into AgentDB. Future plans retrieve past solutions via HNSW β the planner gets smarter with every run. |
| π | **Wired to MCP tools** | Every action node maps to a tool call (RuFlo's ~210 MCP tools, your custom servers, or shell). The planner schedules them in parallel where the dependency graph allows. |
| π | **Zero install to try** | Open [goal.ruv.io](https://goal.ruv.io/), describe a goal, watch it run. Source lives in [`v3/goal_ui/`](v3/goal_ui/) β Vite + Supabase, self-hostable. |
**Try it:** [https://goal.ruv.io/](https://goal.ruv.io/) for goals Β· [https://goal.ruv.io/agents](https://goal.ruv.io/agents) for live agents. **Run your own:** clone the `goal` branch and `cd v3/goal_ui && npm install && npm run dev`.
### Agent Federation β Slack for Agents
```
Your Agent --> [ Remove secrets ] --> [ Sign message ] --> [ Encrypted channel ]
Emails, SSNs, Proves it came No one reads it
keys stripped from you in transit
|
v
Their Agent <-- [ Block attacks ] <-- [ Check identity ] <------+
Stops prompt Rejects forgeries
injection
Audit trail on both sides.
Trust builds over time. Bad behavior = instant downgrade.
```
Slack gave teams channels. Federation gives agents the same thing β **shared workspaces across trust boundaries**, where agents on different machines, orgs, or cloud regions can discover each other, prove who they are, and collaborate on tasks.
The difference: some channels are trusted, some aren't. [`@claude-flow/plugin-agent-federation`](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/issues/1669) handles that automatically. Your agents join a federation, get verified via mTLS + ed25519, and start exchanging work β with PII stripped before anything leaves your node and every message auditable. Untrusted agents can still participate at lower privilege: they see discovery info, not your memory. As they prove reliable, trust upgrades. If they misbehave, they get downgraded instantly β no human in the loop required.
You don't configure handshakes or manage certificates. You `federation init`, `federation join`, and your agents start talking. The protocol handles identity, the PII pipeline handles data safety, and the audit trail handles compliance.
Federation capabilities
| | Capability | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| π | **Zero-trust federation** | Remote agents start untrusted. Identity proven via mTLS + ed25519 challenge-response. No API keys, no shared secrets. |
| π‘οΈ | **PII-gated data flow** | 14-type detection pipeline scans every outbound message. Per-trust-level policies: BLOCK, REDACT, HASH, or PASS. Adaptive calibration reduces false positives. |
| π | **Behavioral trust scoring** | Formula (`0.4Γsuccess + 0.2Γuptime + 0.2Γthreat + 0.2Γintegrity`) continuously evaluates peers. Upgrades require history; downgrades are instant. |
| π | **Compliance built-in** | HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR audit trails as compliance modes. Every federation event produces a structured record searchable via HNSW. |
| π€ | **9 MCP tools + 10 CLI commands** | Full lifecycle: `federation_init`, `federation_send`, `federation_trust`, `federation_audit`, and more. |
Example: two teams sharing fraud signals without sharing customer data
```bash
# Team A: initialize federation and generate keypair
npx claude-flow@latest federation init
# Team A: join Team B's federation endpoint
npx claude-flow@latest federation join wss://team-b.example.com:8443
# Team A: send a task β PII is stripped automatically before it leaves
npx claude-flow@latest federation send --to team-b --type task-request \
--message "Analyze transaction patterns for account anomalies"
# Team A: check peer trust levels and session health
npx claude-flow@latest federation status
```
See [issue #1669](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/issues/1669) for the complete architecture, trust model, and implementation roadmap.
```bash
# Claude Code plugin
/plugin install ruflo-federation@ruflo
# Or via CLI
npx claude-flow@latest plugins install @claude-flow/plugin-agent-federation
```
