🔥 Hot Repo: 22M Downloads — Claude Code's Missing Agent Swarm Layer
Ruflo turns Claude Code into a self-learning swarm of 100+ AI agents with persistent memory and cross-machine federation. v3.10.2 just shipped native Windows support, removing the last barrier to enterprise adoption.

One-liner — Ruflo is an open-source orchestration layer that gives Claude Code a 100-agent swarm, persistent vector memory, and cross-machine federation — now natively supported on Windows as of v3.10.2.

What It Does
Ruflo wraps Claude Code with a multi-agent coordination layer: one npx ruflo init installs 98 named agents architect, coder, test engineer, security auditor, and more, wires in a self-learning memory system backed by HNSW vector embeddings, and exposes 314 MCP tools for swarm coordination. Agents run concurrently across tasks, share memory across sessions, and improve from each successful pattern via the SONA learning loop. Federation support lets agent swarms span multiple machines with mTLS authentication and automatic PII stripping.
Why It's Blowing Up
Ruflo rebranded from Claude Flow in January 2026 to address trademark considerations just shipped v3.10.2 on May 25 with fully native Windows support — removing the single biggest barrier to enterprise adoption. Previously, Windows users needed WSL or Git Bash to run plugin hooks; the release replaces bash shims with cross-platform Node.js equivalents validated on a Ubuntu + macOS + Windows CI matrix.
The scale tells the real story: 22.2M+ ecosystem downloads and 115K git clones in the past 14 days. Benchmarks pit Ruflo against LangGraph, AutoGen, and CrewAI on cold-start time, single-turn latency, and memory footprint — Ruflo wins by factors from 1.3× to 1,953×. Developers tired of orchestrating agents manually are converging on Ruflo because npx ruflo init is the only setup step required.
The timing is right: as Claude Code matures as a platform, Ruflo fills the coordination gap that Anthropic hasn't yet addressed natively — shared memory, parallel swarms, and cross-session learning that persists beyond a single conversation.
