Agent Capabilities:

  • ✅ Persistent memory storage
  • ✅ Multi-agent coordination
  • ✅ Swarm topology (mesh/hierarchical/ring/star)

# Run orchestrator agent
docker run --env-file .env claude-agents:cli \
  --agent orchestrator \

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

// 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

// 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
