-# Moflo CLI & MCP Reference
-
-**Purpose:** Complete CLI and MCP reference for moflo — hooks, memory, agents, swarm, neural, and doctor commands. Read when using moflo features or debugging agent coordination.
-
-**MCP-First Policy:** Always prefer MCP tools (`mcp__moflo__*`) over CLI commands. Use `ToolSearch` to load them, then call directly. CLI is fallback only.
-
----
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Installation
-
-```bash
-npm install moflo
-npx flo init          # Interactive setup wizard
-```
-
-`flo init` does the following:
-1. Creates `moflo.yaml` with detected project settings
-2. Sets up `.claude/settings.json` hooks (SessionStart, pre-edit, etc.)
-3. Configures `.mcp.json` for MCP tool access
-4. Copies the agent bootstrap guide to `.claude/guidance/`
-5. Injects a memory search section into CLAUDE.md
-
-### Post-Install
-
-```bash
-npx flo-setup         # Copy bootstrap guidance, inject CLAUDE.md section
-npx flo doctor --fix  # Verify everything is working
-```
-
----
-
-## Building from Source
-
-**Full instructions: [`docs/BUILD.md`](../../../docs/BUILD.md)** — the canonical, step-by-step build/test/publish process. Always follow it.
-
-Quick reference (from project root only):
-
-```bash
-git pull origin main                   # ALWAYS pull first
-npm run build                          # tsc -b (project references)
-npm test                               # 0 failures required
-npm version patch --no-git-tag-version # Bump + sync cli version
-npm run build                          # Rebuild with new version
-npm publish --otp=XXX                  # Requires 2FA OTP
-```
-
-**Critical rules:**
-- npm only — no pnpm, yarn, or bun
-- Always build from root (`npm run build`) — never cd into subdirectories
-- Never publish without a successful build — `prepublishOnly` masks failures
-- Never publish without tests passing

-## Session Start Automation
-
-When a Claude Code session starts, moflo automatically runs three background indexers:
-
-| Indexer | Command | Namespace | What it does |
-|---------|---------|-----------|--------------|
-| Guidance | `npx flo-index` | `guidance` | Chunks markdown docs, builds RAG links, generates 384-dim embeddings |
-| Code Map | `npx flo-codemap` | `code-map` | Scans source for types, interfaces, exports, directory structure |
-| Learning | `npx flo-learn` | `patterns` | Pattern research on codebase for cross-session learning |
-
-These run in background and are incremental (unchanged files are skipped). Controlled by `auto_index` in `moflo.yaml`.
-
-### Helper Script Auto-Sync
-
-On version change, `session-start-launcher.mjs` copies helper scripts from the installed moflo package to the consumer project's `.claude/helpers/` and `.claude/scripts/` directories. This ensures hooks always run the latest version.
-
-**Rule: static files, not dynamic generation.** If a helper script has no dynamic content (no per-project interpolation), it must be shipped as a pre-built static file in `bin/` and synced via the session-start file lists. Do not generate static content dynamically at runtime — it adds fragile moving parts (background `init --upgrade`, race conditions with session-start exit) and causes stale scripts when the sync list is incomplete.
-
-| Source | Target | Files |
-|--------|--------|-------|
-| `bin/` | `.claude/scripts/` | `hooks.mjs`, `session-start-launcher.mjs`, `index-guidance.mjs`, `build-embeddings.mjs`, `generate-code-map.mjs`, `semantic-search.mjs` |
-| `bin/` | `.claude/helpers/` | `gate.cjs`, `gate-hook.mjs`, `prompt-hook.mjs`, `hook-handler.cjs` |
-| `src/@claude-flow/cli/.claude/helpers/` | `.claude/helpers/` | `auto-memory-hook.mjs`, `statusline.cjs`, `pre-commit`, `post-commit` |
-
-When adding a new helper script: generate it once, save it to `bin/`, and add it to the appropriate list in `session-start-launcher.mjs`.
-
-### Bundled Guidance
-
-Moflo ships its own guidance files (in `.claude/guidance/` within the package). When installed as a dependency, these are **automatically indexed** alongside the consumer project's guidance under the `guidance` namespace. This means agents in your project can search for moflo system docs (swarm patterns, memory commands, etc.) without any extra setup.
-
----
-
-## Bin Commands
-
-| Command | Script | Purpose |
-|---------|--------|---------|
-| `npx flo-index` | `bin/index-guidance.mjs` | Index guidance docs with RAG linking + embeddings |
-| `npx flo-codemap` | `bin/generate-code-map.mjs` | Generate structural code map (types, interfaces, directories) |
-| `npx flo-learn` | Learning service | Pattern research on codebase |
-| `npx flo-setup` | `bin/setup-project.mjs` | Copy bootstrap guidance, inject CLAUDE.md memory section |
-| `npx flo-search` | `bin/semantic-search.mjs` | Standalone semantic search with detailed output |
-
-### Common Flags
-
-| Flag | Applies to | Effect |
-|------|-----------|--------|
-| `--force` | flo-index, flo-codemap | Reindex everything (ignore hash cache) |
-| `--file <path>` | flo-index | Index a specific file only |
-| `--no-embeddings` | flo-index | Skip embedding generation |
-| `--verbose` | flo-index | Show detailed chunk-level output |
-| `--namespace <ns>` | flo-search | Filter search to specific namespace |
-| `--limit <n>` | flo-search | Number of results (default: 5) |

-## MCP Tools Setup
-
-MCP tools are the preferred way for Claude to interact with moflo. `flo init` creates a `.mcp.json` in the project root:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "moflo": {
-      "command": "node",
-      "args": ["node_modules/moflo/src/@claude-flow/cli/bin/cli.js", "mcp", "start"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-This gives Claude access to 200+ MCP tools (`mcp__moflo__memory_*`, `mcp__moflo__hooks_*`, `mcp__moflo__swarm_*`, etc.) without any global installation.

-- Performance work (search for optimization strategies)
-
-**ALWAYS store in memory after:**
-- Solving a tricky bug (store the solution pattern)
-- Completing a feature (store the approach)
-- Finding a performance fix (store the optimization)
-- Discovering a security issue (store the vulnerability pattern)

-## Claude Code vs MCP vs CLI Tools
-
-### Claude Code Handles ALL EXECUTION:
-- **Task tool**: Spawn and run agents concurrently
-- File operations (Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep)
-- Code generation and programming
-- Bash commands and system operations
-- Git operations
-
-### MCP Tools Handle Coordination (Preferred):
-
-| Operation | MCP Tool |
-|-----------|----------|
-| Swarm init | `mcp__moflo__swarm_init` |
-| Agent spawn | `mcp__moflo__agent_spawn` |
-| Memory store | `mcp__moflo__memory_store` |
-| Memory search | `mcp__moflo__memory_search` |
-| Hooks (all) | `mcp__moflo__hooks_<hook-name>` |
-
-### CLI Commands (Fallback Only):
-
-Only use CLI via Bash when MCP tools are unavailable:
-```bash
-npx flo <command> [options]
-```
-
-**KEY**: MCP tools coordinate strategy, Claude Code's Task tool executes with real agents.

-## Quick Setup
-
-### Project-Level MCP (Recommended)
-
-Configure `.mcp.json` in the project root:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "moflo": {
-      "command": "node",
-      "args": ["node_modules/moflo/src/@claude-flow/cli/bin/cli.js", "mcp", "start"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Alternative: Global MCP Registration
-
-```bash
-claude mcp add moflo -- npx @claude-flow/cli@alpha
-npx flo daemon start
-npx flo doctor --fix
-```
-
----
-
-## Project Configuration (moflo.yaml)
-
-Moflo reads `moflo.yaml` (or `moflo.config.json`) from the project root. All fields have sensible defaults — the file is optional.

-## Cross-Platform Compatibility
-
-All code changes MUST work on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Follow these rules:
-
-- **Paths**: Use `path.join()` / `path.resolve()`, never hardcoded `/` or `\\` separators
-- **Process spawning**: Use `detached: !isWin` for background processes; on Windows use `shell: true, windowsHide: true` instead
-- **Process killing**: Use `taskkill /F /PID` on Windows, `process.kill(pid, signal)` on POSIX
-- **Process inspection**: Use PowerShell `Get-CimInstance` on Windows, `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` on Linux, `ps -p <pid>` on macOS
-- **Shell commands**: Never assume bash — use `child_process.spawn` with explicit args instead of shell string interpolation
-- **File locking**: Use `fs.writeFileSync(path, data, { flag: 'wx' })` for atomic locks (works cross-platform)
-- **Signals**: SIGHUP/SIGTERM are POSIX-only; on Windows use `taskkill` or process exit events
-- **Line endings**: Use `\n` in code; let git handle CRLF conversion
-- **Temp dirs**: Use `os.tmpdir()`, not `/tmp`
-- **PID recycling**: Windows recycles PIDs aggressively — always verify process command line, not just PID liveness
-
-## Troubleshooting Common Issues
-
-| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
-|---------|-------|-----|
-| No MCP tools available | `.mcp.json` missing or moflo not installed | Run `npx flo init` or manually create `.mcp.json` |
-| Memory search returns nothing | Indexer hasn't run yet | Run `npx flo-index --force` to index guidance |
-| Low search quality | Guidance docs missing `**Purpose:**` lines or generic headings | Follow guidance optimization rules in `guidance-memory-strategy.md` |
-| Session start slow | All three indexers running | Set `auto_index.code_map: false` in `moflo.yaml` if code map not needed |
-| Status line not showing | `statusline.cjs` error or `status_line.enabled: false` | Run `node .claude/helpers/statusline.cjs` to test, check `moflo.yaml` |
-| Embeddings falling back to hash | Transformers.js not available | Install `@xenova/transformers` — moflo includes it but some environments strip it |
-| `flo` command not found | Not in PATH | Use `npx flo` or `node node_modules/moflo/bin/index-guidance.mjs` |
-| Bundled guidance not indexed | Running inside moflo repo (same dir) | Bundled guidance only indexes when installed as a dependency in a different project |
-
-See `moflo-memory-strategy.md` for memory-specific troubleshooting.

+# Moflo CLI & MCP Reference
+
+**Purpose:** Complete CLI and MCP reference for moflo — hooks, memory, agents, swarm, neural, and doctor commands. Read when using moflo features or debugging agent coordination.
+
+**MCP-First Policy:** Always prefer MCP tools (`mcp__moflo__*`) over CLI commands. Use `ToolSearch` to load them, then call directly. CLI is fallback only.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install moflo
+npx flo init          # Interactive setup wizard
+```
+
+`flo init` does the following:
+1. Creates `moflo.yaml` with detected project settings
+2. Sets up `.claude/settings.json` hooks (SessionStart, pre-edit, etc.)
+3. Configures `.mcp.json` for MCP tool access
+4. Copies the agent bootstrap guide to `.claude/guidance/`
+5. Injects a memory search section into CLAUDE.md
+
+### Post-Install
+
+```bash
+npx flo-setup         # Copy bootstrap guidance, inject CLAUDE.md section
+npx flo doctor --fix  # Verify everything is working
+```
+
+---
+
+## Building from Source
+
+**Full instructions: [`docs/BUILD.md`](../../../docs/BUILD.md)** — the canonical, step-by-step build/test/publish process. Always follow it.
+
+Quick reference (from project root only):
+
+```bash
+git pull origin main                   # ALWAYS pull first
+npm run build                          # tsc -b (project references)
+npm test                               # 0 failures required
+npm version patch --no-git-tag-version # Bump + sync cli version
+npm run build                          # Rebuild with new version
+npm publish --otp=XXX                  # Requires 2FA OTP
+```
+
+**Critical rules:**
+- npm only — no pnpm, yarn, or bun
+- Always build from root (`npm run build`) — never cd into subdirectories
+- Never publish without a successful build — `prepublishOnly` masks failures
+- Never publish without tests passing
+
+---
+
+## Session Start Automation
+
+When a Claude Code session starts, moflo automatically runs three background indexers:
+
+| Indexer | Command | Namespace | What it does |
+|---------|---------|-----------|--------------|
+| Guidance | `npx flo-index` | `guidance` | Chunks markdown docs, builds RAG links, generates 384-dim embeddings |
+| Code Map | `npx flo-codemap` | `code-map` | Scans source for types, interfaces, exports, directory structure |
+| Learning | `npx flo-learn` | `patterns` | Pattern research on codebase for cross-session learning |
+
+These run in background and are incremental (unchanged files are skipped). Controlled by `auto_index` in `moflo.yaml`.
+
+### Helper Script Auto-Sync
+
+On version change, `session-start-launcher.mjs` copies helper scripts from the installed moflo package to the consumer project's `.claude/helpers/` and `.claude/scripts/` directories. This ensures hooks always run the latest version.
+
+**Rule: static files, not dynamic generation.** If a helper script has no dynamic content (no per-project interpolation), it must be shipped as a pre-built static file in `bin/` and synced via the session-start file lists. Do not generate static content dynamically at runtime — it adds fragile moving parts (background `init --upgrade`, race conditions with session-start exit) and causes stale scripts when the sync list is incomplete.
+
+| Source | Target | Files |
+|--------|--------|-------|
+| `bin/` | `.claude/scripts/` | `hooks.mjs`, `session-start-launcher.mjs`, `index-guidance.mjs`, `build-embeddings.mjs`, `generate-code-map.mjs`, `semantic-search.mjs` |
+| `bin/` | `.claude/helpers/` | `gate.cjs`, `gate-hook.mjs`, `prompt-hook.mjs`, `hook-handler.cjs` |
+| `src/packages/cli/.claude/helpers/` | `.claude/helpers/` | `auto-memory-hook.mjs`, `statusline.cjs`, `pre-commit`, `post-commit` |
+
+When adding a new helper script: generate it once, save it to `bin/`, and add it to the appropriate list in `session-start-launcher.mjs`.
+
+### Bundled Guidance
+
+Moflo ships its own guidance files (in `.claude/guidance/` within the package). When installed as a dependency, these are **automatically indexed** alongside the consumer project's guidance under the `guidance` namespace. This means agents in your project can search for moflo system docs (swarm patterns, memory commands, etc.) without any extra setup.
+
+---
+
+## Bin Commands
+
+| Command | Script | Purpose |
+|---------|--------|---------|
+| `npx flo-index` | `bin/index-guidance.mjs` | Index guidance docs with RAG linking + embeddings |
+| `npx flo-codemap` | `bin/generate-code-map.mjs` | Generate structural code map (types, interfaces, directories) |
+| `npx flo-learn` | Learning service | Pattern research on codebase |
+| `npx flo-setup` | `bin/setup-project.mjs` | Copy bootstrap guidance, inject CLAUDE.md memory section |
+| `npx flo-search` | `bin/semantic-search.mjs` | Standalone semantic search with detailed output |
+
+### Common Flags
+
+| Flag | Applies to | Effect |
+|------|-----------|--------|
+| `--force` | flo-index, flo-codemap | Reindex everything (ignore hash cache) |
+| `--file <path>` | flo-index | Index a specific file only |
+| `--no-embeddings` | flo-index | Skip embedding generation |
+| `--verbose` | flo-index | Show detailed chunk-level output |
+| `--namespace <ns>` | flo-search | Filter search to specific namespace |
+| `--limit <n>` | flo-search | Number of results (default: 5) |
+
+---
+
+## MCP Tools Setup
+
+MCP tools are the preferred way for Claude to interact with moflo. `flo init` creates a `.mcp.json` in the project root:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "moflo": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["node_modules/moflo/src/packages/cli/bin/cli.js", "mcp", "start"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This gives Claude access to 200+ MCP tools (`mcp__moflo__memory_*`, `mcp__moflo__hooks_*`, `mcp__moflo__swarm_*`, etc.) without any global installation.
+

+
+**CLI Fallback:**
+```bash
+npx flo memory search --query '[task keywords]' --namespace patterns
+```

+
+### Memory-Enhanced Development
+
+**ALWAYS check memory before:**
+- Starting a new feature (search for similar implementations)
+- Debugging an issue (search for past solutions)
+- Refactoring code (search for learned patterns)
+- Performance work (search for optimization strategies)
+
+**ALWAYS store in memory after:**
+- Solving a tricky bug (store the solution pattern)
+- Completing a feature (store the approach)
+- Finding a performance fix (store the optimization)
+- Discovering a security issue (store the vulnerability pattern)
+
+---
+
+## Memory Commands Reference (MCP Preferred)
+
+### Store Data
+
+**MCP:** `mcp__moflo__memory_store`
+- Required: `key`, `value`
+- Optional: `namespace` (default: "default"), `ttl`, `tags`
+
+**CLI Fallback:**
+```bash
+npx flo memory store --key "pattern-auth" --value "JWT with refresh tokens" --namespace patterns
+```
+
+### Search Data (semantic vector search)
+
+**MCP:** `mcp__moflo__memory_search`

+
+## Claude Code vs MCP vs CLI Tools
+
+### Claude Code Handles ALL EXECUTION:
+- **Task tool**: Spawn and run agents concurrently
+- File operations (Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep)
+- Code generation and programming
+- Bash commands and system operations
+- Git operations
+
+### MCP Tools Handle Coordination (Preferred):
+
+| Operation | MCP Tool |
+|-----------|----------|
+| Swarm init | `mcp__moflo__swarm_init` |
+| Agent spawn | `mcp__moflo__agent_spawn` |
+| Memory store | `mcp__moflo__memory_store` |
+| Memory search | `mcp__moflo__memory_search` |
+| Hooks (all) | `mcp__moflo__hooks_<hook-name>` |
+
+### CLI Commands (Fallback Only):
+
+Only use CLI via Bash when MCP tools are unavailable:
+```bash
+npx flo <command> [options]
+```
+
+**KEY**: MCP tools coordinate strategy, Claude Code's Task tool executes with real agents.
+
+---
+
+## Doctor Health Checks
+
+**MCP:** `mcp__moflo__system_health` | **CLI:** `npx flo doctor`
+
+Checks: Node version (20+), Git, config validity, daemon status, memory database, API keys, MCP servers, disk space, TypeScript.
+
+---
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Configuration
+CLAUDE_FLOW_CONFIG=./claude-flow.config.json
+CLAUDE_FLOW_LOG_LEVEL=info
+
+# MCP Server
+CLAUDE_FLOW_MCP_PORT=3000
+CLAUDE_FLOW_MCP_HOST=localhost
+CLAUDE_FLOW_MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio
+
+# Memory
+CLAUDE_FLOW_MEMORY_BACKEND=hybrid
+CLAUDE_FLOW_MEMORY_PATH=./data/memory
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+### Project-Level MCP (Recommended)
+
+Configure `.mcp.json` in the project root:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "moflo": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["node_modules/moflo/src/packages/cli/bin/cli.js", "mcp", "start"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Alternative: Global MCP Registration
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add moflo -- npx @claude-flow/cli@alpha
+npx flo daemon start
+npx flo doctor --fix
+```
+
+---
+
+## Project Configuration (moflo.yaml)
+
+Moflo reads `moflo.yaml` (or `moflo.config.json`) from the project root. All fields have sensible defaults — the file is optional.

+
+---
+
+## Cross-Platform Compatibility
+
+All code changes MUST work on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Follow these rules:
+
+- **Paths**: Use `path.join()` / `path.resolve()`, never hardcoded `/` or `\\` separators
+- **Process spawning**: Use `detached: !isWin` for background processes; on Windows use `shell: true, windowsHide: true` instead
+- **Process killing**: Use `taskkill /F /PID` on Windows, `process.kill(pid, signal)` on POSIX
+- **Process inspection**: Use PowerShell `Get-CimInstance` on Windows, `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` on Linux, `ps -p <pid>` on macOS
+- **Shell commands**: Never assume bash — use `child_process.spawn` with explicit args instead of shell string interpolation
+- **File locking**: Use `fs.writeFileSync(path, data, { flag: 'wx' })` for atomic locks (works cross-platform)
+- **Signals**: SIGHUP/SIGTERM are POSIX-only; on Windows use `taskkill` or process exit events
+- **Line endings**: Use `\n` in code; let git handle CRLF conversion
+- **Temp dirs**: Use `os.tmpdir()`, not `/tmp`
+- **PID recycling**: Windows recycles PIDs aggressively — always verify process command line, not just PID liveness
+
+## Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
+|---------|-------|-----|
+| No MCP tools available | `.mcp.json` missing or moflo not installed | Run `npx flo init` or manually create `.mcp.json` |
+| Memory search returns nothing | Indexer hasn't run yet | Run `npx flo-index --force` to index guidance |
+| Low search quality | Guidance docs missing `**Purpose:**` lines or generic headings | Follow guidance optimization rules in `guidance-memory-strategy.md` |
+| Session start slow | All three indexers running | Set `auto_index.code_map: false` in `moflo.yaml` if code map not needed |
+| Status line not showing | `statusline.cjs` error or `status_line.enabled: false` | Run `node .claude/helpers/statusline.cjs` to test, check `moflo.yaml` |
+| Embeddings falling back to hash | Transformers.js not available | Install `@xenova/transformers` — moflo includes it but some environments strip it |
+| `flo` command not found | Not in PATH | Use `npx flo` or `node node_modules/moflo/bin/index-guidance.mjs` |
+| Bundled guidance not indexed | Running inside moflo repo (same dir) | Bundled guidance only indexes when installed as a dependency in a different project |
+
+See `moflo-memory-strategy.md` for memory-specific troubleshooting.
