ruflo
🌊 The original agent meta-harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory, self-learning intelligence, RAG integration, and native Claude Code / Codex / Hermes and many more Integrated
Ruflo is a Claude Code plugin and agent meta-harness that transforms AI assistants into coordinated multi-agent systems. It adds 100+ specialized agents, swarm coordination, self-learning memory, and federation capabilities to Claude Code, Codex, and compatible clients. The plugin enables agents to collaborate as teams, remember across sessions via vector memory, learn from past successes, and securely communicate across machines without leaking data. Developers can install individual plugins for specific capabilities or deploy the full CLI for enterprise-grade agent orchestration with background workers, autonomous loops, and 210+ MCP tools.

ruflo — FAQ
What is Ruflo?+
Ruflo is an agent meta-harness and Claude Code plugin that adds multi-agent coordination, persistent memory, swarm intelligence, and federated communication to Claude Code, Codex, and compatible AI assistants. It provides the execution layer (tools, memory, loops, security) that transforms individual AI models into collaborative agent teams.
How do I install Ruflo as a Claude Code plugin?+
Run '/plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo' in Claude Code, then install individual plugins with '/plugin install ruflo-core@ruflo', '/plugin install ruflo-swarm@ruflo', etc. For the full CLI with all features, run 'npx ruflo@latest init wizard' or use the one-line installer for POSIX shells.
Which AI clients does Ruflo work with?+
Ruflo works with Claude Code, Codex, and any MCP-compatible client. The web UI at flo.ruv.io supports 6 frontier models (Qwen, Claude Sonnet/Haiku, Gemini, OpenAI) and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio).
Do I need API keys or prerequisites?+
The hosted web UI at flo.ruv.io requires no API keys to try. For the CLI, you'll need Node.js and optionally API keys for your chosen LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). The ruflo-core plugin registers its own MCP server on install.
Is Ruflo free and open source?+
Yes, Ruflo is MIT-licensed open source software. All 35 plugins, the CLI, and the web UI source are freely available on GitHub at ruvnet/ruflo.
What's the difference between the Claude Code plugins and the CLI install?+
Claude Code plugins add slash commands and agent definitions per plugin with minimal file footprint. The CLI install (npx ruflo init) gives you the full system: 98 agents, 60+ commands, hooks, MCP server, daemon, and all coordination features as documented.
How do I install ruflo?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. ruflo is a plugin — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is ruflo free?+
ruflo is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
