@claude-flow/cli-core (alpha.5+)

A new sibling package that handles memory commands only (no SQLite, no HNSW, no ONNX). Cold-cache npx wall-time drops from ~35s to ~1.5s — a measured 22.9× speedup for plugin authors.

bash
# Plugin scripts can opt in via env flag:
const cliPkg = process.env.CLI_CORE === '1'
  ? '@claude-flow/cli-core@alpha'  # ~1.5s cold-cache
  : '@claude-flow/cli@latest';     # ~35s cold-cache (full features)

The full @claude-flow/cli is unchanged for end users. Reference: v3/@claude-flow/cli-core/MIGRATION.md. 8 plugin scripts in this repo are already CLI_CORE-aware.
