Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites for installing Claude-Flow?

Node.js 18+ (LTS recommended) and npm 9+ are required. Install the Claude Code CLI globally before initializing Claude-Flow.

How does Claude-Flow handle persistent memory?

It stores data in a SQLite file at `.swarm/memory.db` with 12 specialized tables. On Windows, it falls back to in‑memory storage if SQLite errors occur.

When should I use `swarm` versus `hive-mind`?

`swarm` is ideal for quick, single‑objective tasks. `hive-mind` provides persistent sessions and complex multi‑agent coordination for larger projects.

Is Flow Nexus a paid service?

Access to Flow Nexus requires registration; pricing details are not covered in the repository and can be found in the official documentation.

Can Claude-Flow integrate with existing GitHub repositories?

Yes, Claude-Flow includes six specialized GitHub integration modes for repository management and automation.
