What it is

Ruflo is a TypeScript-based agent orchestration framework for deploying multi-agent swarms with autonomous workflows, conversational AI, and vector RAG integration. It provides an agent harness that coordinates intelligent agents with adaptive memory, self-learning capabilities, and federation support across Claude, Codex, Hermes, and other LLM backends. Hybrid monorepo: TypeScript/JavaScript in root with package.json (main engine, CLI, UI plugins); Rust workspace under v3/crates/ (federation-peer, agntcy); plugin architecture under plugin/ and plugins/ (ruflo-adr, ruflo-agent with nested agent definitions). Agents defined declaratively as .md files (e.g.,…

Start here

Read these in order:

• plugins/ruflo-chatgpt-federation/src/signing-key.mjs — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 3 other files. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
• plugins/ruflo-chatgpt-federation/src/oauth.mjs — Foundation: imported by 2, no internal dependencies of its own.
• plugins/ruflo-chatgpt-federation/src/publisher.mjs — Built on the foundation; imported by 2 downstream files.
• plugins/ruflo-chatgpt-federation/src/server.mjs — Layer 2 — application-level code that wires the lower layers together.
• plugins/ruflo-chatgpt-federation/test/publisher.test.mjs — Layer 3 — application-level code that wires the lower layers together.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo.git
cd ruflo
npm install
# For Rust components: cd v3/crates && cargo check

Verify package.json and Cargo.toml for version constraints before running setup. The presence of bin/cli.js and bin/npx-safe-launch.js suggests the CLI is directly executable post-install.

Daily commands:

From package.json presence: npm start or npm run dev (unverified — check package.json scripts). For CLI: npx ruflo or node bin/cli.js. For Rust components: cargo build --release from v3/crates/. UI accessible…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Small team — 4 contributors active in recent commits
• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 91% of recent commits
• Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
• 1. Workspace root conflict: v3/plugins/gastown-bridge is explicitly excluded from Cargo.toml members (not in exclude list docs suggests a gotcha). Running cargo check on parent workspace will fail if…
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
