Claude Code Plugin Marketplace

Install Ruflo as a native Claude Code plugin -- adds skills, commands, agents, and MCP tools directly into Claude Code:

bash
# Add the marketplace (one-time)
/plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo

# Install individual plugins
/plugin install ruflo-core@ruflo         # MCP server + base agents
/plugin install ruflo-swarm@ruflo         # Swarm coordination + Monitor
/plugin install ruflo-autopilot@ruflo     # Autonomous /loop completion
/plugin install ruflo-loop-workers@ruflo  # Background workers + CronCreate
/plugin install ruflo-security-audit@ruflo # Security scanning
/plugin install ruflo-rag-memory@ruflo    # HNSW memory + AgentDB
/plugin install ruflo-testgen@ruflo       # Test gap detection + TDD
/plugin install ruflo-docs@ruflo          # Doc generation + drift detection

After installing, new /slash-commands and agent types are available immediately. Run /reload-plugins if needed.
