What It Does
Ruflo formerly Claude Flow is a multi-agent orchestration layer that installs directly into Claude Code as a native plugin marketplace. A single init command adds a coordination backbone: 100+ specialized agents for coding, testing, security auditing, documentation, and DevOps; HNSW-indexed vector memory that persists across sessions; a 3-tier model router handling Claude, GPT, Gemini, Cohere, and now Ollama; and a zero-trust federation protocol that lets agents collaborate securely across machines and organizations. You write code normally — Ruflo's hooks handle routing, memory, and swarm coordination in the background.
Why It's Blowing Up
The May 4 v3.6.27 release added Ollama as a Tier-2 provider, which sounds minor until you understand the unlock: Anthropic Max plan subscribers don't receive an ANTHROPICAPIKEY. That one missing credential previously blocked them from all of Ruflo's agent workflows — workflowexecute, cross-agent memory, everything. The Ollama fix routes around that wall entirely, via Ollama Cloud or a self-hosted instance on a local network the release notes confirm validation over Tailscale. A large slice of Ruflo's potential userbase just got unblocked overnight.
The broader driver is a shift in how serious Claude Code users think about sessions. Single-session workflows hit a ceiling fast: context windows fill up, agents can't coordinate, nothing persists. Ruflo addresses the multi-session, multi-machine problem that Claude Code itself doesn't solve. The 32-plugin marketplace — covering everything from RAG memory to IoT device management to an AI trading agent — lets you pick exact
