## Usage Examples

### 1. Memory-Enabled Agent
```typescript
import { memoryResearchAgent } from './src/agents/claudeFlowAgent.js';

const result = await memoryResearchAgent(
  'Research AI trends and store key findings',
  (chunk) => console.log(chunk)
);
```

**Agent Capabilities**:
- Stores information with `mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage`
- Retrieves with namespace: `claude-agents:memory-researcher`
- Persists across runs

### 2. Coordination Agent
```typescript
import { orchestratorAgent } from './src/agents/claudeFlowAgent.js';

const result = await orchestratorAgent(
  'Build a TODO app: coordinate researcher and coder agents',
  (chunk) => console.log(chunk)
);
```

**Agent Capabilities**:
- Initializes swarm with `mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init`
- Spawns specialized agents with `mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn`
- Orchestrates tasks with `mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate`

### 3. Hybrid Agent (Full Features)
```typescript
import { hybridAgent } from './src/agents/claudeFlowAgent.js';

const result = await hybridAgent(
  'Complex task requiring memory and coordination',
  'my-agent',
  'You are a full-stack agent with all capabilities',
  (chunk) => console.log(chunk)
);
```

**Agent Capabilities**:
- ✅ Persistent memory storage
- ✅ Multi-agent coordination
- ✅ Swarm topology (mesh/hierarchical/ring/star)
- ✅ Real-time streaming
- ✅ Retry logic with backoff

### 4. Docker CLI Usage
```bash
# Run agent with claude-flow memory
docker run --env-file .env claude-agents:cli \
  --agent memory-researcher \
  --task "Research and remember TypeScript features"

# Run orchestrator agent
docker run --env-file .env claude-agents:cli \
  --agent orchestrator \
  --task "Coordinate multiple agents to build a feature"
```

## Memory System

### Database Schema
**Location**: `.swarm/memory.db` (SQLite)

**Features**:
- Persistent storage across runs
- Namespace isolation (`claude-agents:agent-name`)
- TTL support (default: 3600 seconds)
- Full-text search capability

### Memory Operations
```typescript
// Store
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage({
  action: 'store',
  key: 'api-design',
  value: 'RESTful with JWT auth',
  namespace: 'claude-agents:coder',
  ttl: 3600
})

// Retrieve
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage({
  action: 'retrieve',
  key: 'api-design',
  namespace: 'claude-agents:coder'
})

// Search
mcp__claude-flow__memory_search({
  pattern: 'API',
  namespace: 'claude-agents:coder',
  limit: 10
})
```

## Coordination System

### Swarm Topologies

**Mesh** (default):
- Peer-to-peer communication
- No single point of failure
- Best for: Collaborative tasks

**Hierarchical**:
- Tree structure with coordinator
- Clear delegation chain
- Best for: Complex workflows

**Ring**:
- Circular communication
- Token passing
- Best for: Sequential processing

**Star**:
- Central coordinator
- Hub-and-spoke model
- Best for: Centralized control

### Coordination Operations
```typescript
// Initialize swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({
  topology: 'mesh',
  maxAgents: 8,
  strategy: 'balanced'
})

// Spawn agent
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  type: 'researcher',
  capabilities: ['search', 'analyze'],
  name: 'research-agent-1'
})

// Orchestrate task
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate({
  task: 'Analyze codebase and suggest improvements',
  strategy: 'parallel',
  priority: 'high'
})

// Check status
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_status({
  swarmId: 'optional-id'
})
```

## Performance Impact

### Before Claude Flow
- No persistent memory
- No multi-agent coordination
- Single-agent execution only

### After Claude Flow
- ✅ Persistent memory across runs
- ✅ Multi-agent coordination
- ✅ Swarm topologies (4 types)
- ✅ Load balancing
- ✅ Agent metrics
- ✅ 12+ new MCP tools

**Trade-offs**:
- Build time: +30 seconds (claude-flow init)
- Image size: +100MB
- Runtime overhead: ~50ms for MCP server startup

## Testing Strategy

### Unit Tests
- ✅ Memory operations (store/retrieve/search)
- ✅ Coordination primitives (init/spawn/orchestrate)
- ✅ Configuration loading

### Integration Tests
- ✅ Memory persistence across agent runs
- ✅ Multi-agent orchestration workflows
- ✅ Hybrid agents (memory + coordination)

### Docker Tests
- ✅ Claude-flow installation
- ✅ Memory database creation
- ✅ MCP configuration
- ✅ Runtime availability

## Known Limitations

1. **MCP Server Startup**: MCP server starts on first tool use (~50ms delay)
2. **Memory Persistence**: Limited to container lifecycle (mount `.swarm` for persistence)
3. **Swarm Size**: Default max 8 agents (configurable)
4. **Tool Availability**: Requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

## Future Enhancements

### Phase 2 (Planned)
- [ ] Persistent memory across Docker restarts (volume mount)
- [ ] Metrics integration (track memory usage, coordination stats)
- [ ] Advanced swarm patterns (dynamic scaling)
- [ ] Custom MCP tools via claude-flow

### Phase 3 (Planned)
- [ ] Distributed coordination (multi-container swarms)
- [ ] Memory replication and sync
- [ ] Advanced topology optimization
- [ ] Cost tracking for MCP operations

## Configuration Reference

# Required
