+
+## Agent Loading System
+
+### Package Agents (Bundled)
+
+All 76 agent definitions are included in the npm package at:
+```
+node_modules/agentic-flow/.claude/agents/
+```
+
+These are automatically loaded when you run `npx agentic-flow`.
+
+### Local Agents (User Custom)
+
+You can create custom agents in your project:
+```
+your-project/
+└── .claude/
+    └── agents/
+        └── custom/
+            └── my-agent.md
+```
+
+**Local agents override package agents** with the same relative path.
+
+## Agent Discovery Order
+
+1. **Package agents**: Load from `node_modules/agentic-flow/.claude/agents/`
+2. **Local agents**: Load from `./claude/agents/` (overrides package agents if same path)
+3. **Custom directory**: Use `--agents-dir` flag to specify alternative location
+
+## Verification
+
+To verify your installation includes all agents:
+
+```bash
+# List all available agents
+npx agentic-flow --list
+
+# Should show 73 agents (76 files, some without proper frontmatter)
+```
+
+## Custom Agent Creation
+
+Create custom agents that augment or replace package agents:
+
+```bash
+# Interactive creation
+npx agentic-flow agent create
+
+# Manual creation
+mkdir -p .claude/agents/custom
+cat > .claude/agents/custom/my-agent.md << 'EOF'
+---
+name: my-agent
+description: My custom agent
+---
+
+You are a specialized agent for [purpose].
+Follow these guidelines:
+- [guideline 1]
+- [guideline 2]
+EOF
+```
+
+## Package Maintenance
+
+### Building
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+### Verifying Package Structure
+
+```bash
+./scripts/verify-package.sh
+```
+
+### Creating Package
+
+```bash
+npm pack
+```
+
+### Testing Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install in test directory
+mkdir -p /tmp/test-install
+cd /tmp/test-install
+npm install /path/to/agentic-flow-1.1.2.tgz
+
+# Verify agents loaded
+./node_modules/.bin/agentic-flow --list
+```
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+The package automatically loads `.env` files from:
+1. Current directory
+2. Parent directories (recursively up to root)
+
+This ensures API keys work from any directory:
+
+```bash
+# Works from project root
+cd /workspaces/myproject
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "test" --provider gemini
+
+# Also works from subdirectory (finds parent .env)
+cd /workspaces/myproject/src
+npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "test" --provider gemini
+```
+

+# QUIC Transport Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This document summarizes the implementation of QUIC transport integration for multi-agent swarm coordination in agentic-flow.
+
+**Implementation Date**: 2025-10-16
+**Branch**: feat/quic-optimization
+**Status**: Complete ✅
+
+## Components Implemented
+
+### 1. QuicCoordinator (`src/swarm/quic-coordinator.ts`)
+
+**Purpose**: Manages agent-to-agent communication in multi-agent swarms using QUIC transport.
+
+**Key Features**:
+- ✅ Support for 4 topology types (mesh, hierarchical, ring, star)
+- ✅ Topology-aware message routing
+- ✅ Real-time state synchronization (configurable interval)
+- ✅ Automatic heartbeat monitoring
+- ✅ Per-agent statistics tracking (messages sent/received, latency)
+- ✅ Connection pooling integration
+- ✅ QUIC stream multiplexing
+
+**API Surface**:
+```typescript
+class QuicCoordinator {
+  async start(): Promise<void>
+  async stop(): Promise<void>
+  async registerAgent(agent: SwarmAgent): Promise<void>
+  async unregisterAgent(agentId: string): Promise<void>
+  async sendMessage(message: SwarmMessage): Promise<void>
+  async broadcast(message: SwarmMessage): Promise<void>
+  async syncState(): Promise<void>
+  async getState(): Promise<SwarmState>
+  getAgentStats(agentId: string): AgentStats | null
+  getAllAgentStats(): Map<string, AgentStats>
+}
+```
+
+**Statistics Tracked**:
+- Total/active agents
+- Total messages
+- Messages per second
+- Average latency per agent
+- QUIC connection statistics
+
+### 2. TransportRouter (`src/swarm/transport-router.ts`)
+
+**Purpose**: Intelligent transport layer with automatic protocol selection and fallback.
+
+**Key Features**:
+- ✅ Protocol selection (QUIC, HTTP/2, auto)
+- ✅ Transparent HTTP/2 fallback on QUIC failure
+- ✅ Connection pooling for both protocols
+- ✅ Per-protocol statistics tracking
+- ✅ Automatic health monitoring
+- ✅ Protocol switching on availability changes
+
+**API Surface**:
+```typescript
+class TransportRouter {
+  async initialize(): Promise<void>
+  async initializeSwarm(swarmId, topology, maxAgents): Promise<QuicCoordinator>
+  async route(message: SwarmMessage, target: SwarmAgent): Promise<RouteResult>
+  getCurrentProtocol(): 'quic' | 'http2'
+  isQuicAvailable(): boolean
+  getStats(protocol?: 'quic' | 'http2'): TransportStats | Map
+  getCoordinator(): QuicCoordinator | undefined
+  async shutdown(): Promise<void>
+}
+```
+
+**Fallback Strategy**:
+1. Attempt QUIC connection
+2. On failure, transparently fallback to HTTP/2
+3. Continue monitoring QUIC availability
+4. Switch back to QUIC when available
+
+### 3. Swarm Integration (`src/swarm/index.ts`)
+
+**Purpose**: High-level API for swarm initialization and management.
+
+**Key Features**:
+- ✅ Single-function swarm initialization
+- ✅ Transport abstraction (hide complexity)
+- ✅ Agent registration/unregistration
+- ✅ Unified statistics interface
+- ✅ Graceful shutdown
+
+**API Surface**:
+```typescript
+async function initSwarm(options: SwarmInitOptions): Promise<SwarmInstance>
+async function checkQuicAvailability(): Promise<boolean>
+
+interface SwarmInstance {
+  swarmId: string
+  topology: SwarmTopology
+  transport: 'quic' | 'http2'
+  coordinator?: QuicCoordinator
+  router: TransportRouter
+  registerAgent(agent: SwarmAgent): Promise<void>
+  unregisterAgent(agentId: string): Promise<void>
+  getStats(): Promise<SwarmStats>
+  shutdown(): Promise<void>
+}
+```
+
+**Configuration Options**:
+```typescript
+interface SwarmInitOptions {
+  swarmId: string
+  topology: 'mesh' | 'hierarchical' | 'ring' | 'star'
+  transport?: 'quic' | 'http2' | 'auto'
+  maxAgents?: number
+  quicPort?: number
+  quicHost?: string
+  enableFallback?: boolean
+}
+```
+
+### 4. MCP Tool Updates (`src/mcp/fastmcp/tools/swarm/init.ts`)
+
+**Enhancements**:
+- ✅ Added `transport` parameter (quic | http2 | auto)
+- ✅ Added `quicPort` parameter
+- ✅ Updated tool description with topology explanations
+- ✅ Backward compatible with existing calls
+
+**New Parameters**:
+```typescript
+{
+  transport: 'quic' | 'http2' | 'auto',  // default: auto
+  quicPort: number                        // default: 4433
+}
+```

+
+## Topology Support
+
+### Mesh Topology
+- **Routing**: Direct peer-to-peer communication
+- **Scalability**: O(n²) connections, best for <20 agents
+- **Use Case**: Maximum redundancy, distributed consensus
+
+### Hierarchical Topology
+- **Routing**: Workers → Coordinators → Workers
+- **Scalability**: O(n) connections, scales to 100+ agents
+- **Use Case**: Centralized task distribution
+
+### Ring Topology
+- **Routing**: Forward to next agent in circular order
+- **Scalability**: O(n) connections, predictable latency
+- **Use Case**: Pipeline processing, token-ring protocols
+
+### Star Topology
+- **Routing**: All messages through central coordinator
+- **Scalability**: O(n) connections, single coordination point
+- **Use Case**: Simple coordination, fan-out/fan-in
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### QUIC Advantages
+- **0-RTT Connection**: Near-instant connection establishment
+- **Stream Multiplexing**: 100+ concurrent streams per connection
+- **No Head-of-Line Blocking**: Independent stream processing
+- **Connection Migration**: Survives network changes (WiFi → Cellular)
+- **QPACK Compression**: Efficient header compression
+
+### Benchmarks (Estimated)
+- **Mesh (5 agents)**: ~10ms avg latency, 1000 msg/s
+- **Mesh (10 agents)**: ~20ms avg latency, 800 msg/s
+- **Hierarchical (50 workers + 5 coordinators)**: ~25ms avg latency, 8000 msg/s
+- **Hierarchical (100 workers + 10 coordinators)**: ~35ms avg latency, 15000 msg/s

+
+const swarm = await initSwarm({
+  swarmId: 'compute-swarm',
+  topology: 'mesh',
+  transport: 'quic',
+  maxAgents: 5,
+  quicPort: 4433
+});
+
+await swarm.registerAgent({
+  id: 'agent-1',
+  role: 'worker',
+  host: 'localhost',
+  port: 4434,
+  capabilities: ['compute']
+});
+
+const stats = await swarm.getStats();
+await swarm.shutdown();
+```
+
+### Auto Transport with Fallback
+```typescript
+const swarm = await initSwarm({
+  swarmId: 'auto-swarm',
+  topology: 'hierarchical',
+  transport: 'auto',  // Try QUIC, fallback to HTTP/2
+  maxAgents: 20,
+  enableFallback: true
+});
+
+// Router automatically selects best transport
+console.log('Transport:', (await swarm.getStats()).transport);
+```
+
+### MCP Tool Usage
+```typescript
+// Via MCP tool
+mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({
+  topology: 'mesh',
