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.
