-
-## Overview
-
-Flow Nexus provides cloud-based orchestration for AI agent swarms with:
-
-- **Multi-topology Support**: Hierarchical, mesh, ring, and star architectures
-- **Event-driven Workflows**: Message queue processing with async execution
-- **Template Library**: Pre-built swarm configurations for common use cases
-- **Intelligent Agent Assignment**: Vector similarity matching for optimal agent selection
-- **Real-time Monitoring**: Comprehensive metrics and audit trails
-- **Scalable Infrastructure**: Cloud-based execution with auto-scaling
-
-## Swarm Management
-
-### Initialize Swarm
-
-Create a new swarm with specified topology and configuration:
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
-  topology: "hierarchical", // Options: mesh, ring, star, hierarchical
-  maxAgents: 8,
-  strategy: "balanced" // Options: balanced, specialized, adaptive
-})
-```
-
-**Topology Guide:**
-- **Hierarchical**: Tree structure with coordinator nodes (best for complex projects)
-- **Mesh**: Peer-to-peer collaboration (best for research and analysis)
-- **Ring**: Circular coordination (best for sequential workflows)
-- **Star**: Centralized hub (best for simple delegation)
-
-**Strategy Guide:**
-- **Balanced**: Equal distribution of workload across agents
-- **Specialized**: Agents focus on specific expertise areas
-- **Adaptive**: Dynamic adjustment based on task complexity
-
-### Spawn Agents
-
-Add specialized agents to the swarm:
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({
-  type: "researcher", // Options: researcher, coder, analyst, optimizer, coordinator
-  name: "Lead Researcher",
-  capabilities: ["web_search", "analysis", "summarization"]
-})
-```
-
-**Agent Types:**
-- **Researcher**: Information gathering, web search, analysis
-- **Coder**: Code generation, refactoring, implementation
-- **Analyst**: Data analysis, pattern recognition, insights
-- **Optimizer**: Performance tuning, resource optimization
-- **Coordinator**: Task delegation, progress tracking, integration
-
-### Orchestrate Tasks
-
-Distribute tasks across the swarm:
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__task_orchestrate({
-  task: "Build a REST API with authentication and database integration",
-  strategy: "parallel", // Options: parallel, sequential, adaptive
-  maxAgents: 5,
-  priority: "high" // Options: low, medium, high, critical
-})
-```
-
-**Execution Strategies:**
-- **Parallel**: Maximum concurrency for independent subtasks
-- **Sequential**: Step-by-step execution with dependencies
-- **Adaptive**: AI-powered strategy selection based on task analysis
-
-### Monitor & Scale Swarms
-
-```javascript
-// Get detailed swarm status
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_status({
-  swarm_id: "optional-id" // Uses active swarm if not provided
-})
-
-// List all active swarms
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_list({
-  status: "active" // Options: active, destroyed, all
-})
-
-// Scale swarm up or down
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_scale({
-  target_agents: 10,
-  swarm_id: "optional-id"
-})
-
-// Gracefully destroy swarm
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_destroy({
-  swarm_id: "optional-id"
-})
-```
-
-## Workflow Automation
-
-### Create Workflow
-
-Define event-driven workflows with message queue processing:
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
-  name: "CI/CD Pipeline",
-  description: "Automated testing, building, and deployment",
-  steps: [
-    {
-      id: "test",
-      action: "run_tests",
-      agent: "tester",
-      parallel: true
-    },
-    {
-      id: "build",
-      action: "build_app",
-      agent: "builder",
-      depends_on: ["test"]
-    },
-    {
-      id: "deploy",
-      action: "deploy_prod",
-      agent: "deployer",
-      depends_on: ["build"]
-    }
-  ],
-  triggers: ["push_to_main", "manual_trigger"],
-  metadata: {
-    priority: 10,
-    retry_policy: "exponential_backoff"
-  }
-})
-```
-
-**Workflow Features:**
-- **Dependency Management**: Define step dependencies with `depends_on`
-- **Parallel Execution**: Set `parallel: true` for concurrent steps
-- **Event Triggers**: GitHub events, schedules, manual triggers
-- **Retry Policies**: Automatic retry on transient failures
-- **Priority Queuing**: High-priority workflows execute first
-
-### Execute Workflow
-
-Run workflows synchronously or asynchronously:
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_execute({
-  workflow_id: "workflow_id",
-  input_data: {
-    branch: "main",
-    commit: "abc123",
-    environment: "production"
-  },
-  async: true // Queue-based execution for long-running workflows
-})
-```
-
-**Execution Modes:**
-- **Sync (async: false)**: Immediate execution, wait for completion
-- **Async (async: true)**: Message queue processing, non-blocking
-
-### Monitor Workflows
-
-```javascript
-// Get workflow status and metrics
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_status({
-  workflow_id: "id",
-  execution_id: "specific-run-id", // Optional
-  include_metrics: true
-})
-
-// List workflows with filters
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_list({
-  status: "running", // Options: running, completed, failed, pending
-  limit: 10,
-  offset: 0
-})
-
-// Get complete audit trail
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_audit_trail({
-  workflow_id: "id",
-  limit: 50,
-  start_time: "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"
-})
-```
-
-### Agent Assignment
-
-Intelligently assign agents to workflow tasks:
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_agent_assign({
-  task_id: "task_id",
-  agent_type: "coder", // Preferred agent type
-  use_vector_similarity: true // AI-powered capability matching
-})
-```
-
-**Vector Similarity Matching:**
-- Analyzes task requirements and agent capabilities
-- Finds optimal agent based on past performance
-- Considers workload and availability
-
-### Queue Management
-
-Monitor and manage message queues:
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_queue_status({
-  queue_name: "optional-specific-queue",
-  include_messages: true // Show pending messages
-})
-```
-
-## Agent Orchestration
-
-### Full-Stack Development Pattern
-
-```javascript
-// 1. Initialize swarm with hierarchical topology
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
-  topology: "hierarchical",
-  maxAgents: 8,
-  strategy: "specialized"
-})
-
-// 2. Spawn specialized agents
-mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "coordinator", name: "Project Manager" })

-    { id: "integration", action: "integrate", agent: "Backend Developer", depends_on: ["backend", "frontend"] },
-    { id: "testing", action: "qa_testing", agent: "QA Engineer", depends_on: ["integration"] }
-  ]
-})
-
-// 4. Execute workflow
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_execute({
-  workflow_id: "workflow_id",
-  input_data: {
-    project: "E-commerce Platform",
-    tech_stack: ["Node.js", "React", "PostgreSQL"]
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### Research & Analysis Pattern
-
-```javascript
-// 1. Initialize mesh topology for collaborative research
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
-  topology: "mesh",
-  maxAgents: 5,
-  strategy: "balanced"
-})
-

-mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "analyst", name: "Data Analyst" })
-mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "analyst", name: "Insights Analyst" })
-
-// 3. Orchestrate research task
-mcp__flow-nexus__task_orchestrate({
-  task: "Research machine learning trends for 2025 and analyze market opportunities",
-  strategy: "parallel",
-  maxAgents: 4,
-  priority: "high"
-})
-```
-
-### CI/CD Pipeline Pattern
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
-  name: "Deployment Pipeline",
-  description: "Automated testing, building, and multi-environment deployment",
-  steps: [
-    { id: "lint", action: "lint_code", agent: "code_quality", parallel: true },
-    { id: "unit_test", action: "unit_tests", agent: "test_runner", parallel: true },
-    { id: "integration_test", action: "integration_tests", agent: "test_runner", parallel: true },
-    { id: "build", action: "build_artifacts", agent: "builder", depends_on: ["lint", "unit_test", "integration_test"] },
-    { id: "security_scan", action: "security_scan", agent: "security", depends_on: ["build"] },
-    { id: "deploy_staging", action: "deploy", agent: "deployer", depends_on: ["security_scan"] },
-    { id: "smoke_test", action: "smoke_tests", agent: "test_runner", depends_on: ["deploy_staging"] },
-    { id: "deploy_prod", action: "deploy", agent: "deployer", depends_on: ["smoke_test"] }
-  ],
-  triggers: ["github_push", "github_pr_merged"],
-  metadata: {
-    priority: 10,
-    auto_rollback: true
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### Data Processing Pipeline Pattern
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
-  name: "ETL Pipeline",
-  description: "Extract, Transform, Load data processing",
-  steps: [
-    { id: "extract", action: "extract_data", agent: "data_extractor" },
-    { id: "validate_raw", action: "validate_data", agent: "validator", depends_on: ["extract"] },
-    { id: "transform", action: "transform_data", agent: "transformer", depends_on: ["validate_raw"] },
-    { id: "enrich", action: "enrich_data", agent: "enricher", depends_on: ["transform"] },
-    { id: "load", action: "load_data", agent: "loader", depends_on: ["enrich"] },
-    { id: "validate_final", action: "validate_data", agent: "validator", depends_on: ["load"] }
-  ],
-  triggers: ["schedule:0 2 * * *"], // Daily at 2 AM
-  metadata: {
-    retry_policy: "exponential_backoff",
-    max_retries: 3
-  }
-})
-```
-
-## Templates & Patterns
-
-### Use Pre-built Templates
-
-```javascript
-// Create swarm from template
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_create_from_template({
-  template_name: "full-stack-dev",
-  overrides: {
-    maxAgents: 6,
-    strategy: "specialized"
-  }
-})
-
-// List available templates
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_templates_list({
-  category: "quickstart", // Options: quickstart, specialized, enterprise, custom, all
-  includeStore: true
-})
-```
-
-**Available Template Categories:**
-
-**Quickstart Templates:**
-- `full-stack-dev`: Complete web development swarm
-- `research-team`: Research and analysis swarm
-- `code-review`: Automated code review swarm
-- `data-pipeline`: ETL and data processing
-
-**Specialized Templates:**
-- `ml-development`: Machine learning project swarm
-- `mobile-dev`: Mobile app development
-- `devops-automation`: Infrastructure and deployment
-- `security-audit`: Security analysis and testing
-
-**Enterprise Templates:**
-- `enterprise-migration`: Large-scale system migration
-- `multi-repo-sync`: Multi-repository coordination
-- `compliance-review`: Regulatory compliance workflows
-- `incident-response`: Automated incident management
-
-### Custom Template Creation
-
-Save successful swarm configurations as reusable templates for future projects.
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Real-time Monitoring
-
-```javascript
-// Subscribe to execution streams
-mcp__flow-nexus__execution_stream_subscribe({
-  stream_type: "claude-flow-swarm",
-  deployment_id: "deployment_id"
-})
-
-// Get execution status
-mcp__flow-nexus__execution_stream_status({
-  stream_id: "stream_id"
-})
-
-// List files created during execution
-mcp__flow-nexus__execution_files_list({
-  stream_id: "stream_id",
-  created_by: "claude-flow"
-})
-```
-
-### Swarm Metrics & Analytics
-
-```javascript
-// Get swarm performance metrics
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_status({
-  swarm_id: "id"
-})
-
-// Analyze workflow efficiency
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_status({
-  workflow_id: "id",
-  include_metrics: true
-})
-```
-
-### Multi-Swarm Coordination
-
-Coordinate multiple swarms for complex, multi-phase projects:
-
-```javascript
-// Phase 1: Research swarm
-const researchSwarm = await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
-  topology: "mesh",
-  maxAgents: 4
-})
-
-// Phase 2: Development swarm
-const devSwarm = await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
-  topology: "hierarchical",
-  maxAgents: 8
-})
-
-// Phase 3: Testing swarm
-const testSwarm = await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
-  topology: "star",
-  maxAgents: 5
-})
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Choose the Right Topology
-
-```javascript
-// Simple projects: Star
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({ topology: "star", maxAgents: 3 })
-
-// Collaborative work: Mesh
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({ topology: "mesh", maxAgents: 5 })
-
-// Complex projects: Hierarchical
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({ topology: "hierarchical", maxAgents: 10 })
-
-// Sequential workflows: Ring
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({ topology: "ring", maxAgents: 4 })
-```
-
-### 2. Optimize Agent Assignment
-
-```javascript
-// Use vector similarity for optimal matching
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_agent_assign({
-  task_id: "complex-task",
-  use_vector_similarity: true
-})
-```
-
-### 3. Implement Proper Error Handling
-
-```javascript
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
-  name: "Resilient Workflow",
-  steps: [...],
-  metadata: {
-    retry_policy: "exponential_backoff",
-    max_retries: 3,
-    timeout: 300000, // 5 minutes
-    on_failure: "notify_and_rollback"
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### 4. Monitor and Scale
-
-```javascript
-// Regular monitoring
-const status = await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_status()
-
-// Scale based on workload
-if (status.workload > 0.8) {
-  await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_scale({ target_agents: status.agents + 2 })
-}
-```
-
-### 5. Use Async Execution for Long-Running Workflows
-
-```javascript
-// Long-running workflows should use message queues
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_execute({
-  workflow_id: "data-pipeline",
-  async: true // Non-blocking execution
-})
-
-// Monitor progress
-mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_queue_status({ include_messages: true })
-```
-
-### 6. Clean Up Resources
-
-```javascript
-// Destroy swarm when complete
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_destroy({ swarm_id: "id" })
-```
-
-### 7. Leverage Templates
-
-```javascript
-// Use proven templates instead of building from scratch
-mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_create_from_template({
-  template_name: "code-review",
-  overrides: { maxAgents: 4 }
-})
-```
-

+Intelligently assign agents to workflow tasks:
+
+```javascript
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_agent_assign({
+  task_id: "task_id",
+  agent_type: "coder", // Preferred agent type
+  use_vector_similarity: true // AI-powered capability matching
+})
+```
+
+**Vector Similarity Matching:**
+- Analyzes task requirements and agent capabilities
+- Finds optimal agent based on past performance
+- Considers workload and availability
+
+### Queue Management
+
+Monitor and manage message queues:
+
+```javascript
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_queue_status({
+  queue_name: "optional-specific-queue",
+  include_messages: true // Show pending messages
+})
+```
+
+## Agent Orchestration
+
+### Full-Stack Development Pattern
+
+```javascript
+// 1. Initialize swarm with hierarchical topology
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
+  topology: "hierarchical",
+  maxAgents: 8,
+  strategy: "specialized"
+})
+
+// 2. Spawn specialized agents
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "coordinator", name: "Project Manager" })
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "coder", name: "Backend Developer" })
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "coder", name: "Frontend Developer" })
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "coder", name: "Database Architect" })
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "analyst", name: "QA Engineer" })
+
+// 3. Create development workflow
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
+  name: "Full-Stack Development",
+  steps: [
+    { id: "requirements", action: "analyze_requirements", agent: "coordinator" },
+    { id: "db_design", action: "design_schema", agent: "Database Architect" },
+    { id: "backend", action: "build_api", agent: "Backend Developer", depends_on: ["db_design"] },
+    { id: "frontend", action: "build_ui", agent: "Frontend Developer", depends_on: ["requirements"] },
+    { id: "integration", action: "integrate", agent: "Backend Developer", depends_on: ["backend", "frontend"] },
+    { id: "testing", action: "qa_testing", agent: "QA Engineer", depends_on: ["integration"] }
+  ]
+})
+
+// 4. Execute workflow
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_execute({
+  workflow_id: "workflow_id",
+  input_data: {
+    project: "E-commerce Platform",
+    tech_stack: ["Node.js", "React", "PostgreSQL"]
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Research & Analysis Pattern
+
+```javascript
+// 1. Initialize mesh topology for collaborative research
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
+  topology: "mesh",
+  maxAgents: 5,
+  strategy: "balanced"
+})
+
+// 2. Spawn research agents
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "researcher", name: "Primary Researcher" })
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "researcher", name: "Secondary Researcher" })
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "analyst", name: "Data Analyst" })
+mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "analyst", name: "Insights Analyst" })
+
+// 3. Orchestrate research task
+mcp__flow-nexus__task_orchestrate({
+  task: "Research machine learning trends for 2025 and analyze market opportunities",
+  strategy: "parallel",
+  maxAgents: 4,
+  priority: "high"
+})
+```
+
+### CI/CD Pipeline Pattern
+
+```javascript
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
+  name: "Deployment Pipeline",
+  description: "Automated testing, building, and multi-environment deployment",
+  steps: [
+    { id: "lint", action: "lint_code", agent: "code_quality", parallel: true },
+    { id: "unit_test", action: "unit_tests", agent: "test_runner", parallel: true },
+    { id: "integration_test", action: "integration_tests", agent: "test_runner", parallel: true },
+    { id: "build", action: "build_artifacts", agent: "builder", depends_on: ["lint", "unit_test", "integration_test"] },
+    { id: "security_scan", action: "security_scan", agent: "security", depends_on: ["build"] },
+    { id: "deploy_staging", action: "deploy", agent: "deployer", depends_on: ["security_scan"] },
+    { id: "smoke_test", action: "smoke_tests", agent: "test_runner", depends_on: ["deploy_staging"] },
+    { id: "deploy_prod", action: "deploy", agent: "deployer", depends_on: ["smoke_test"] }
+  ],
+  triggers: ["github_push", "github_pr_merged"],
+  metadata: {
+    priority: 10,
+    auto_rollback: true
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Data Processing Pipeline Pattern
+
+```javascript
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
+  name: "ETL Pipeline",
+  description: "Extract, Transform, Load data processing",
+  steps: [
+    { id: "extract", action: "extract_data", agent: "data_extractor" },
+    { id: "validate_raw", action: "validate_data", agent: "validator", depends_on: ["extract"] },
+    { id: "transform", action: "transform_data", agent: "transformer", depends_on: ["validate_raw"] },
+    { id: "enrich", action: "enrich_data", agent: "enricher", depends_on: ["transform"] },
+    { id: "load", action: "load_data", agent: "loader", depends_on: ["enrich"] },
+    { id: "validate_final", action: "validate_data", agent: "validator", depends_on: ["load"] }
+  ],
+  triggers: ["schedule:0 2 * * *"], // Daily at 2 AM
+  metadata: {
+    retry_policy: "exponential_backoff",
+    max_retries: 3
+  }
+})
+```
+
+## Templates & Patterns
+
+### Use Pre-built Templates
+
+```javascript
+// Create swarm from template
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_create_from_template({
+  template_name: "full-stack-dev",
+  overrides: {
+    maxAgents: 6,
+    strategy: "specialized"
+  }
+})
+
+// List available templates
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_templates_list({
+  category: "quickstart", // Options: quickstart, specialized, enterprise, custom, all
+  includeStore: true
+})
+```
+
+**Available Template Categories:**
+
+**Quickstart Templates:**
+- `full-stack-dev`: Complete web development swarm
+- `research-team`: Research and analysis swarm
+- `code-review`: Automated code review swarm
+- `data-pipeline`: ETL and data processing
+
+**Specialized Templates:**
+- `ml-development`: Machine learning project swarm
+- `mobile-dev`: Mobile app development
+- `devops-automation`: Infrastructure and deployment
+- `security-audit`: Security analysis and testing
+
+**Enterprise Templates:**
+- `enterprise-migration`: Large-scale system migration
+- `multi-repo-sync`: Multi-repository coordination
+- `compliance-review`: Regulatory compliance workflows
+- `incident-response`: Automated incident management
+
+### Custom Template Creation
+
+Save successful swarm configurations as reusable templates for future projects.
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Real-time Monitoring
+
+```javascript
+// Subscribe to execution streams
+mcp__flow-nexus__execution_stream_subscribe({
+  stream_type: "claude-flow-swarm",
+  deployment_id: "deployment_id"
+})
+
+// Get execution status
+mcp__flow-nexus__execution_stream_status({
+  stream_id: "stream_id"
+})
+
+// List files created during execution
+mcp__flow-nexus__execution_files_list({
+  stream_id: "stream_id",
+  created_by: "claude-flow"
+})
+```
+
+### Swarm Metrics & Analytics
+
+```javascript
+// Get swarm performance metrics
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_status({
+  swarm_id: "id"
+})
+
+// Analyze workflow efficiency
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_status({
+  workflow_id: "id",
+  include_metrics: true
+})
+```
+
+### Multi-Swarm Coordination
+
+Coordinate multiple swarms for complex, multi-phase projects:
+
+```javascript
+// Phase 1: Research swarm
+const researchSwarm = await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
+  topology: "mesh",
+  maxAgents: 4
+})
+
+// Phase 2: Development swarm
+const devSwarm = await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
+  topology: "hierarchical",
+  maxAgents: 8
+})
+
+// Phase 3: Testing swarm
+const testSwarm = await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
+  topology: "star",
+  maxAgents: 5
+})
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Choose the Right Topology
+
+```javascript
+// Simple projects: Star
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({ topology: "star", maxAgents: 3 })
+
+// Collaborative work: Mesh
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({ topology: "mesh", maxAgents: 5 })
+
+// Complex projects: Hierarchical
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({ topology: "hierarchical", maxAgents: 10 })
+
+// Sequential workflows: Ring
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({ topology: "ring", maxAgents: 4 })
+```
+
+### 2. Optimize Agent Assignment
+
+```javascript
+// Use vector similarity for optimal matching
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_agent_assign({
+  task_id: "complex-task",
+  use_vector_similarity: true
+})
+```
+
+### 3. Implement Proper Error Handling
+
+```javascript
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
+  name: "Resilient Workflow",
+  steps: [...],
+  metadata: {
+    retry_policy: "exponential_backoff",
+    max_retries: 3,
+    timeout: 300000, // 5 minutes
+    on_failure: "notify_and_rollback"
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### 4. Monitor and Scale
+
+```javascript
+// Regular monitoring
+const status = await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_status()
+
+// Scale based on workload
+if (status.workload > 0.8) {
+  await mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_scale({ target_agents: status.agents + 2 })
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Use Async Execution for Long-Running Workflows
+
+```javascript
+// Long-running workflows should use message queues
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_execute({
+  workflow_id: "data-pipeline",
+  async: true // Non-blocking execution
+})
+
+// Monitor progress
+mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_queue_status({ include_messages: true })
+```
+
+### 6. Clean Up Resources
+
+```javascript
+// Destroy swarm when complete
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_destroy({ swarm_id: "id" })
+```
+
+### 7. Leverage Templates
+
+```javascript
+// Use proven templates instead of building from scratch
+mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_create_from_template({
+  template_name: "code-review",
+  overrides: { maxAgents: 4 }
+})
+```
+
