Install Paths
/project-overview/install-paths
There are two different install paths with very different surface areas. Pick based on what you need (see #1744):
| Claude Code Plugin | CLI install (npx ruflo init) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it gives you | Slash commands + a few skills + agent definitions per-plugin | Full Ruflo loop — 98 agents, 60+ commands, 30 skills, MCP server, hooks, daemon |
| Files in your workspace | Zero | .claude/, .claude-flow/, CLAUDE.md, helpers, settings |
| MCP server registered | No (memory_store, swarm_init, etc. unavailable to Claude) | Yes |
| Hooks installed | No | Yes |
| Best for | Trying a single plugin's commands without committing to the full install | Production use — everything works as documented |
Path A — Claude Code Plugins (lite, slash commands only):
bash
/plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-core@ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-swarm@ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-rag-memory@ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-neural-trader@rufloThis adds slash commands and agent definitions only. The Ruflo MCP server is NOT registered, so memory_store, swarm_init, agent_spawn, etc. won't be callable from Claude. For the full loop, use the CLI path documented in the Quick Start.
