# Claude Code Configuration - Claude Flow V3
## π¨ AUTOMATIC SWARM ORCHESTRATION
**When starting work on complex tasks, Claude Code MUST automatically:**
1. **Initialize the swarm** using CLI tools via Bash
2. **Spawn concurrent agents** using Claude Code's Task tool
3. **Coordinate via hooks** and memory
### π¨ CRITICAL: CLI + Task Tool in SAME Message
**When user says "spawn swarm" or requests complex work, Claude Code MUST in ONE message:**
1. Call CLI tools via Bash to initialize coordination
2. **IMMEDIATELY** call Task tool to spawn REAL working agents
3. Both CLI and Task calls must be in the SAME response
**CLI coordinates, Task tool agents do the actual work!**
### π€ INTELLIGENT 3-TIER MODEL ROUTING (ADR-026)
**The routing system has 3 tiers for optimal cost/performance:**
| **1** | Agent Booster | <1ms | $0 | Simple transforms (varβconst, add-types, remove-console) |
| **2** | Haiku | ~500ms | $0.0002 | Simple tasks, bug fixes, low complexity |
| **3** | Sonnet/Opus | 2-5s | $0.003-$0.015 | Architecture, security, complex reasoning |
**Before spawning agents, get routing recommendation:**
```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks pre-task --description "[task description]"
```
**When you see these recommendations:**
1. `[AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE]` β Skip LLM entirely, use Edit tool directly
- Intent types: `var-to-const`, `add-types`, `add-error-handling`, `async-await`, `add-logging`, `remove-console`
2. `[TASK_MODEL_RECOMMENDATION] Use model="X"` β Use that model in Task tool:
```javascript
Task({
prompt: "...",
subagent_type: "coder",
model: "haiku" })
```
**Benefits:** 75% cost reduction, 352x faster for Tier 1 tasks
---
### π‘οΈ Anti-Drift Config (PREFERRED)
**Use this to prevent agent drift:**
```bash
# Small teams (6-8 agents) - use hierarchical for tight control
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 8 --strategy specialized
# Large teams (10-15 agents) - use hierarchical-mesh for V3 queen + peer communication
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest swarm init --topology hierarchical-mesh --max-agents 15 --strategy specialized
```
**Valid Topologies:**
- `hierarchical` - Queen controls workers directly (anti-drift for small teams)
- `hierarchical-mesh` - V3 queen + peer communication (recommended for 10+ agents)
- `mesh` - Fully connected peer network
- `ring` - Circular communication pattern
- `star` - Central coordinator with spokes
- `hybrid` - Dynamic topology switching
**Anti-Drift Guidelines:**
- **hierarchical**: Coordinator catches divergence
- **max-agents 6-8**: Smaller team = less drift
- **specialized**: Clear roles, no overlap
- **consensus**: raft (leader maintains state)
---
### π Auto-Start Swarm Protocol (Background Execution)
When the user requests a complex task, **spawn agents in background and WAIT for completion:**
```javascript
// STEP 1: Initialize swarm coordination (anti-drift config)
Bash("npx @claude-flow/cli@latest swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 8 --strategy specialized")
// STEP 2: Spawn ALL agents IN BACKGROUND in a SINGLE message
// Use run_in_background: true so agents work concurrently
Task({
prompt: "Research requirements, analyze codebase patterns, store findings in memory",
subagent_type: "researcher",
description: "Research phase",
run_in_background: true // β CRITICAL: Run in background
})
Task({
prompt: "Design architecture based on research. Document decisions.",
subagent_type: "system-architect",
description: "Architecture phase",
run_in_background: true
})
Task({
prompt: "Implement the solution following the design. Write clean code.",
subagent_type: "coder",
description: "Implementation phase",
run_in_background: true
})
Task({
prompt: "Write comprehensive tests for the implementation.",
subagent_type: "tester",
description: "Testing phase",
run_in_background: true
})
Task({
prompt: "Review code quality, security, and best practices.",
subagent_type: "reviewer",
description: "Review phase",
run_in_background: true
})
// STEP 3: WAIT - Tell user agents are working, then STOP
// Say: "I've spawned 5 agents to work on this in parallel. They'll report back when done."
// DO NOT check status repeatedly. Just wait for user or agent responses.
```
### βΈοΈ CRITICAL: Spawn and Wait Pattern
**After spawning background agents:**
1. **TELL USER** - "I've spawned X agents working in parallel on: [list tasks]"
2. **STOP** - Do not continue with more tool calls
3. **WAIT** - Let the background agents complete their work
4. **RESPOND** - When agents return results, review and synthesize
**Example response after spawning:**
```
I've launched 5 concurrent agents to work on this:
- π Researcher: Analyzing requirements and codebase
- ποΈ Architect: Designing the implementation approach
- π» Coder: Implementing the solution
- π§ͺ Tester: Writing tests
- π Reviewer: Code review and security check
They're working in parallel. I'll synthesize their results when they complete.
```
### π« DO NOT:
- Continuously check swarm status
- Poll TaskOutput repeatedly
- Add more tool calls after spawning
- Ask "should I check on the agents?"
### β
DO:
- Spawn all agents in ONE message
- Tell user what's happening
- Wait for agent results to arrive
- Synthesize results when they return
## π§ AUTO-LEARNING PROTOCOL
### Before Starting Any Task
```bash
# 1. Search memory for relevant patterns from past successes
Bash("npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory search --query '[task keywords]' --namespace patterns")
# 2. Check if similar task was done before
Bash("npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory search --query '[task type]' --namespace tasks")
# 3. Load learned optimizations
Bash("npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks route --task '[task description]'")
```
### After Completing Any Task Successfully
```bash
# 1. Store successful pattern for future reference
Bash("npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory store --namespace patterns --key '[pattern-name]' --value '[what worked]'")
# 2. Train neural patterns on the successful approach
Bash("npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks post-edit --file '[main-file]' --train-neural true")
# 3. Record task completion with metrics
Bash("npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks post-task --task-id '[id]' --success true --store-results true")
# 4. Trigger optimization worker if performance-related
Bash("npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks worker dispatch --trigger optimize")
```
### Continuous Improvement Triggers
| After major refactor | `optimize` | Performance optimization |
| After adding features | `testgaps` | Find missing test coverage |
| After security changes | `audit` | Security analysis |
| After API changes | `document` | Update documentation |
| Every 5+ file changes | `map` | Update codebase map |
| Complex debugging | `deepdive` | Deep code analysis |
### Memory-Enhanced Development
**ALWAYS check memory before:**
- Starting a new feature (search for similar implementations)
- Debugging an issue (search for past solutions)
- Refactoring code (search for learned patterns)
- Performance work (search for optimization strategies)
**ALWAYS store in memory after:**
- Solving a tricky bug (store the solution pattern)
- Completing a feature (store the approach)
- Finding a performance fix (store the optimization)
- Discovering a security issue (store the vulnerability pattern)
### π Agent Routing (Anti-Drift)
| 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 | Docs | researcher, api-docs |
**Codes 1-9: hierarchical/specialized (anti-drift). Code 11: mesh/balanced**
### π― Task Complexity Detection
**AUTO-INVOKE SWARM when task involves:**
- Multiple files (3+)
- New feature implementation
- Refactoring across modules
- API changes with tests
- Security-related changes
- Performance optimization
- Database schema changes
**SKIP SWARM for:**
- Single file edits
- Simple bug fixes (1-2 lines)
- Documentation updates
- Configuration changes
- Quick questions/exploration
## π¨ CRITICAL: CONCURRENT EXECUTION & FILE MANAGEMENT
**ABSOLUTE RULES**:
1. ALL operations MUST be concurrent/parallel in a single message
2. **NEVER save working files, text/mds and tests to the root folder**
3. ALWAYS organize files in appropriate subdirectories
4. **USE CLAUDE CODE'S TASK TOOL** for spawning agents concurrently, not just MCP
### β‘ GOLDEN RULE: "1 MESSAGE = ALL RELATED OPERATIONS"
**MANDATORY PATTERNS:**
- **TodoWrite**: ALWAYS batch ALL todos in ONE call (5-10+ todos minimum)
- **Task tool (Claude Code)**: ALWAYS spawn ALL agents in ONE message with full instructions
- **File operations**: ALWAYS batch ALL reads/writes/edits in ONE message
- **Bash commands**: ALWAYS batch ALL terminal operations in ONE message
- **Memory operations**: ALWAYS batch ALL memory store/retrieve in ONE message
### π File Organization Rules
**NEVER save to root folder. Use these directories:**
- `/src` - Source code files
- `/tests` - Test files
- `/docs` - Documentation and markdown files
- `/config` - Configuration files
- `/scripts` - Utility scripts
- `/examples` - Example code
## Project Config (Anti-Drift Defaults)
- **Topology**: hierarchical (prevents drift)
- **Max Agents**: 8 (smaller = less drift)
- **Strategy**: specialized (clear roles)
- **Consensus**: raft
- **Memory**: hybrid
- **HNSW**: Enabled
- **Neural**: Enabled

## π― Claude Code vs CLI Tools
### Claude Code Handles ALL EXECUTION:
- **Task tool**: Spawn and run agents concurrently
- File operations (Read, Write, Edit, MultiEdit, Glob, Grep)
- Code generation and programming
- Bash commands and system operations
- TodoWrite and task management
- Git operations
### CLI Tools Handle Coordination (via Bash):
- **Swarm init**: `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest swarm init --topology <type>`
- **Swarm status**: `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest swarm status`
- **Agent spawn**: `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest agent spawn -t <type> --name <name>`
- **Memory store**: `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory store --key "mykey" --value "myvalue" --namespace patterns`
- **Memory search**: `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory search --query "search terms"`
- **Memory list**: `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory list --namespace patterns`
- **Memory retrieve**: `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory retrieve --key "mykey" --namespace patterns`
- **Hooks**: `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks <hook-name> [options]`
## π Memory Commands Reference (IMPORTANT)

Remember: **Claude Flow CLI coordinates, Claude Code Task tool creates!**
# important-instruction-reminders
Do what has been asked; nothing more, nothing less.
NEVER create files unless they're absolutely necessary for achieving your goal.
ALWAYS prefer editing an existing file to creating a new one.
NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files. Only create documentation files if explicitly requested by the User.
Never save working files, text/mds and tests to the root folder.
## π¨ SWARM EXECUTION RULES (CRITICAL)
1. **SPAWN IN BACKGROUND**: Use `run_in_background: true` for all agent Task calls
2. **SPAWN ALL AT ONCE**: Put ALL agent Task calls in ONE message for parallel execution
3. **TELL USER**: After spawning, list what each agent is doing (use emojis for clarity)
4. **STOP AND WAIT**: After spawning, STOP - do NOT add more tool calls or check status
5. **NO POLLING**: Never poll TaskOutput or check swarm status - trust agents to return
6. **SYNTHESIZE**: When agent results arrive, review ALL results before proceeding
7. **NO CONFIRMATION**: Don't ask "should I check?" - just wait for results
Example spawn message:
```
"I've launched 4 agents in background:
- π Researcher: [task]
- π» Coder: [task]
- π§ͺ Tester: [task]
- π Reviewer: [task]
Working in parallel - I'll synthesize when they complete."
```
