+## 🎯 Core SDK Exports (from sdk.d.ts)
+
+### Primary Functions
+```typescript
+// Main query function - streaming message generator
+export function query({
+  prompt: string | AsyncIterable<SDKUserMessage>,
+  options?: Options
+}): Query;
+
+// MCP tool creation
+export function tool<Schema>(
+  name: string,
+  description: string,
+  inputSchema: Schema,
+  handler: (args, extra) => Promise<CallToolResult>
+): SdkMcpToolDefinition<Schema>;
+
+// In-process MCP server creation
+export function createSdkMcpServer(options: {
+  name: string;
+  version?: string;
+  tools?: Array<SdkMcpToolDefinition<any>>;
+}): McpSdkServerConfigWithInstance;
+
+// Custom error type
+export class AbortError extends Error {}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔌 Integration Points
+
+### 1️⃣ **Hook System** (9 Events)
+
+```typescript
+export const HOOK_EVENTS = [
+  "PreToolUse",       // Before any tool execution
+  "PostToolUse",      // After tool completes
+  "Notification",     // System notifications
+  "UserPromptSubmit", // User input submitted
+  "SessionStart",     // Session initialization
+  "SessionEnd",       // Session termination
+  "Stop",             // User interrupt
+  "SubagentStop",     // Subagent termination
+  "PreCompact"        // Before context compaction
+] as const;
+
+interface HookCallback {
+  matcher?: string;  // Optional pattern matching
+  hooks: HookCallback[];
+}
+
+type HookJSONOutput =
+  | { async: true; asyncTimeout?: number }
+  | {
+      continue?: boolean;
+      suppressOutput?: boolean;
+      stopReason?: string;
+      decision?: 'approve' | 'block';
+      systemMessage?: string;
+      reason?: string;
+      hookSpecificOutput?: {
+        hookEventName: 'PreToolUse';
+        permissionDecision?: 'allow' | 'deny' | 'ask';
+        permissionDecisionReason?: string;
+      } | {
+        hookEventName: 'UserPromptSubmit' | 'SessionStart' | 'PostToolUse';
+        additionalContext?: string;
+      }
+    };
+```
+
+**Claude-Flow Mapping**:
+- `pre-task` → `PreToolUse`
+- `post-task` → `PostToolUse`
+- `session-start` → `SessionStart`
+- `session-end` → `SessionEnd`
+- `notify` → `Notification`
+
+---
+
+### 2️⃣ **Permission System** (Tool Governance)
+
+```typescript
+type PermissionBehavior = 'allow' | 'deny' | 'ask';
+
+type PermissionMode =
+  | 'default'           // Interactive prompts
+  | 'acceptEdits'       // Auto-accept file edits
+  | 'bypassPermissions' // Skip all prompts
+  | 'plan';             // Planning mode
+
+interface CanUseTool {
+  (toolName: string,
+   input: Record<string, unknown>,
+   options: {
+     signal: AbortSignal;
+     suggestions?: PermissionUpdate[];
+   }): Promise<PermissionResult>;
+}
+
+type PermissionUpdate =
+  | { type: 'addRules'; rules: PermissionRuleValue[]; behavior: PermissionBehavior; destination: PermissionUpdateDestination }
+  | { type: 'replaceRules'; rules: PermissionRuleValue[]; behavior: PermissionBehavior; destination: PermissionUpdateDestination }
+  | { type: 'removeRules'; rules: PermissionRuleValue[]; behavior: PermissionBehavior; destination: PermissionUpdateDestination }
+  | { type: 'setMode'; mode: PermissionMode; destination: PermissionUpdateDestination }
+  | { type: 'addDirectories'; directories: string[]; destination: PermissionUpdateDestination }
+  | { type: 'removeDirectories'; directories: string[]; destination: PermissionUpdateDestination };
+
+type PermissionUpdateDestination =
+  | 'userSettings'      // ~/.claude/settings.json
+  | 'projectSettings'   // .claude/settings.json
+  | 'localSettings'     // .claude-local.json
+  | 'session';          // Current session only
+```
+
+**Claude-Flow Integration**:
+- Swarm agents can have per-agent permission policies
+- Tool governance at swarm orchestration level
+- Automatic permission inheritance for spawned agents
+
+---
+
+### 3️⃣ **MCP Server Configuration** (4 Transport Types)
+
+```typescript
+type McpServerConfig =
+  | {
+      type?: 'stdio';  // Command-based (current Claude-Flow method)
+      command: string;
+      args?: string[];
+      env?: Record<string, string>;
+    }
+  | {
+      type: 'sse';     // Server-Sent Events (NEW!)
+      url: string;
+      headers?: Record<string, string>;
+    }
+  | {
+      type: 'http';    // HTTP transport (NEW!)
+      url: string;
+      headers?: Record<string, string>;
+    }
+  | {
+      type: 'sdk';     // In-process (NEW! - ZERO IPC OVERHEAD)
+      name: string;
+      instance: McpServer;
+    };
+```
+
+**Performance Impact**:
+- **stdio**: Current method, ~2-5ms IPC latency
+- **sse**: Network-based, ~10-50ms latency
+- **http**: Request-based, ~10-100ms latency
+- **sdk**: In-process, **<0.1ms** - **10-100x faster**
+
+**Claude-Flow Opportunity**:
+Create `claude-flow-swarm` as in-process MCP server:
+```typescript
+const swarmServer = createSdkMcpServer({
+  name: 'claude-flow-swarm',
+  version: '2.5.0-alpha.130',
+  tools: [
+    tool('swarm_init', 'Initialize multi-agent swarm', {...}, handler),
+    tool('agent_spawn', 'Spawn specialized agent', {...}, handler),
+    tool('task_orchestrate', 'Orchestrate task across swarm', {...}, handler),
+    // ... 40+ more tools
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4️⃣ **Session Management & Resumption**
+
+```typescript
+interface Options {
+  // Resume existing session
+  resume?: string;              // Session ID to resume
+  resumeSessionAt?: string;     // Resume from specific message ID
+  forkSession?: boolean;        // Fork session instead of resuming
+
+  // Session control
+  includePartialMessages?: boolean;
+
+  // Context management
+  maxThinkingTokens?: number;
+  maxTurns?: number;
+}
+
+interface Query extends AsyncGenerator<SDKMessage, void> {
+  // Real-time control methods
+  interrupt(): Promise<void>;
+  setPermissionMode(mode: PermissionMode): Promise<void>;
+  setModel(model?: string): Promise<void>;
+  supportedCommands(): Promise<SlashCommand[]>;
+  supportedModels(): Promise<ModelInfo[]>;
+  mcpServerStatus(): Promise<McpServerStatus[]>;
+}
+```
+
+**Claude-Flow Use Cases**:
+1. **Parallel Agent Spawning**: Fork sessions for concurrent execution
+2. **Checkpoint Recovery**: Resume from specific message for fault tolerance
+3. **Dynamic Model Switching**: Switch models based on task complexity
+4. **Real-time Interruption**: Kill runaway agent tasks
+
+---
+
+### 5️⃣ **Message Types** (SDKMessage Union)
+
+```typescript
+type SDKMessage =
+  | SDKAssistantMessage    // Claude's response
+  | SDKUserMessage         // User input
+  | SDKUserMessageReplay   // Replayed user message
+  | SDKResultMessage       // Task completion result
+  | SDKSystemMessage       // System initialization
+  | SDKPartialAssistantMessage  // Streaming chunk
+  | SDKCompactBoundaryMessage;  // Context compression marker
+
+// Result types
+type SDKResultMessage =
+  | {
+      type: 'result';
+      subtype: 'success';
+      duration_ms: number;
+      duration_api_ms: number;
+      num_turns: number;
+      result: string;
+      total_cost_usd: number;
+      usage: NonNullableUsage;
+      modelUsage: { [modelName: string]: ModelUsage };
+      permission_denials: SDKPermissionDenial[];
+    }
+  | {
+      type: 'result';
+      subtype: 'error_max_turns' | 'error_during_execution';
+      // ... error details
+    };
+
+// Compact boundary for checkpoints
+type SDKCompactBoundaryMessage = {
+  type: 'system';
+  subtype: 'compact_boundary';
+  compact_metadata: {
+    trigger: 'manual' | 'auto';
+    pre_tokens: number;
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Claude-Flow Integration**:
+- Store `SDKMessage` history for swarm coordination
+- Use `SDKCompactBoundaryMessage` as checkpoint markers
+- Track `permission_denials` for swarm-level governance
+
+---
+

+
+## 🚀 Claude-Flow Integration Opportunities
+
+### Phase 3: Memory System → Session Persistence
+```typescript
+// Instead of custom memory, use SDK sessions
+class SwarmMemoryManager {
+  async saveCheckpoint(swarmId: string, state: SwarmState) {
+    // Store as SDKMessage history
+    const messages: SDKMessage[] = this.convertToSDKMessages(state);
+    await this.storeSession(swarmId, messages);
+  }
+
+  async restoreCheckpoint(swarmId: string, messageId?: string) {
+    // Use resumeSessionAt for point-in-time recovery
+    return query({
+      prompt: this.getResumePrompt(),
+      options: {
+        resume: swarmId,
+        resumeSessionAt: messageId
+      }
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Checkpoint Integration → Session Forking
+```typescript
+// Parallel agent spawning via session forking
+class SwarmExecutor {
+  async spawnParallelAgents(task: Task, agentCount: number) {
+    const baseSession = await this.initializeSession(task);
+
+    // Fork N sessions for parallel execution
+    const agents = await Promise.all(
+      Array.from({ length: agentCount }, () =>
+        query({
+          prompt: this.getAgentPrompt(task),
+          options: {
+            resume: baseSession.id,
+            forkSession: true  // Key: fork instead of resume
+          }
+        })
+      )
+    );
+
+    return agents;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Hook System → Native SDK Hooks
+```typescript
+// Replace custom hooks with SDK hooks
+const hooks: Partial<Record<HookEvent, HookCallbackMatcher[]>> = {
+  PreToolUse: [{
+    hooks: [async (input, toolUseID, { signal }) => {
+      // Swarm-level tool governance
+      const allowed = await this.checkSwarmPermissions(
+        input.tool_name,
+        input.tool_input
+      );
+
+      return {
+        decision: allowed ? 'approve' : 'block',
+        hookSpecificOutput: {
+          hookEventName: 'PreToolUse',
+          permissionDecision: allowed ? 'allow' : 'deny',
+          permissionDecisionReason: 'Swarm policy check'
+        }
+      };
+    }]
+  }],
+
+  PostToolUse: [{
+    hooks: [async (input, toolUseID, { signal }) => {
+      // Store tool execution results in swarm memory
+      await this.swarmMemory.recordToolExecution({
+        tool: input.tool_name,
+        input: input.tool_input,
+        output: input.tool_response,
+        timestamp: Date.now()
+      });
+
+      return { continue: true };
+    }]
+  }],
+
+  SessionEnd: [{
+    hooks: [async (input, toolUseID, { signal }) => {
+      // Aggregate swarm metrics on session end
+      await this.aggregateSwarmMetrics(input.session_id);
+      return { continue: true };
+    }]
+  }]
+};
+```
+
+### Phase 6: In-Process MCP Server (NEW)
+```typescript
+// Zero-overhead swarm coordination
+import { createSdkMcpServer, tool } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-code/sdk';
+
+const claudeFlowSwarmServer = createSdkMcpServer({
+  name: 'claude-flow-swarm',
+  version: '2.5.0-alpha.130',
+  tools: [
+    tool('swarm_init', 'Initialize multi-agent swarm', {
+      topology: { type: 'string', enum: ['mesh', 'hierarchical', 'ring', 'star'] },
+      maxAgents: { type: 'number', minimum: 1, maximum: 100 }
+    }, async (args) => {
+      const swarm = await SwarmCoordinator.initialize(args);
+      return {
+        content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(swarm.status) }]
+      };
+    }),
+
+    tool('agent_spawn', 'Spawn specialized agent in swarm', {
+      type: { type: 'string', enum: ['researcher', 'coder', 'analyst', 'optimizer'] },
+      capabilities: { type: 'array', items: { type: 'string' } }
+    }, async (args) => {
+      const agent = await SwarmCoordinator.spawnAgent(args);
+      return {
+        content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(agent) }]
+      };
+    }),
+
+    // ... 40+ more tools with ZERO IPC overhead
+  ]
+});
+
+// Use in Claude-Flow
+const response = query({
+  prompt: 'Deploy a 5-agent swarm to analyze this codebase',
+  options: {
+    mcpServers: {
+      'claude-flow-swarm': {
+        type: 'sdk',
+        name: 'claude-flow-swarm',
+        instance: claudeFlowSwarmServer.instance
+      }
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
