What it does
Ruflo, formerly called Claude Flow, is a "harness" for AI coding assistants. A harness is the workbench around the AI model: it organizes tasks, carries information between steps and helps check results.
Its makers say it adds more than 100 specialized agents that can work together in groups, memory that lasts across sessions, and a way for agents on different machines to talk to each other. It also includes a console for creating and tracking tasks.
After setup, the idea is that you keep using Claude Code as normal while Ruflo coordinates the work in the background. Its makers note that its add-ons run with your account's permissions and suggest reviewing them before installing.
Who it's for
Developers who use Claude Code or Codex heavily and want to run several AI agents together.
