- **Windows users**: See [Windows Installation Guide](https://github.com/ruvnet/claude-code-flow/blob/main/docs/windows-installation.md) for special instructions

⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: Claude Code must be installed first:

```bash
# 1. Install Claude Code globally
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

# 2. (Optional) Skip permissions check for faster setup
# Only use if you understand the security implications
# claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
```

💡 **Windows Note**: If you encounter SQLite errors, Claude Flow will automatically use in-memory storage. For persistent storage options, see our [Windows guide](https://github.com/ruvnet/claude-code-flow/blob/main/docs/windows-installation.md).

### 🎯 **Instant Alpha Testing**

```bash
# 1. Initialize Claude Flow with enhanced MCP setup (auto-configures permissions!)
npx claude-flow@alpha init --force

# 2. Explore all revolutionary capabilities
npx claude-flow@alpha --help

# 3a. Quick AI coordination (recommended for most tasks)
npx claude-flow@alpha swarm "build me a REST API"

# 3b. OR launch the full hive-mind system (for complex projects)
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind wizard
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "build enterprise system" --claude
```

### 🤔 **Swarm vs Hive-Mind: Which to Use?**

| Feature | `swarm` Command | `hive-mind` Command |
|---------|----------------|-------------------|
| **Best For** | Quick tasks, single objectives | Complex projects, persistent sessions |
| **Setup** | Instant - no configuration needed | Interactive wizard setup |
| **Session** | Temporary coordination | Persistent with resume capability |
| **Memory** | Task-scoped | Project-wide with SQLite storage |
| **Agents** | Auto-spawned for task | Manual control with specializations |
| **Use When** | "Build X", "Fix Y", "Analyze Z" | Multi-feature projects, team coordination |

**Quick Rule:** Start with `swarm` for most tasks. Use `hive-mind` when you need persistent sessions or complex multi-agent coordination.

## 🎯 **Typical Workflows - Your "Happy Path" Guide**

### **New to Claude-Flow? Start Here!**

Confused about `.hive-mind` and `.swarm` directories? Not sure when to create new hives? Here are the most common workflow patterns:

#### **🚀 Pattern 1: Single Feature Development**
```bash
# Initialize once per feature/task
npx claude-flow@alpha init --force
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "Implement user authentication" --claude

# Continue working on SAME feature (reuse existing hive)
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind status
npx claude-flow@alpha memory query "authentication" --recent
npx claude-flow@alpha swarm "Add password reset functionality" --continue-session
```

#### **🏗️ Pattern 2: Multi-Feature Project**
```bash
# Project-level initialization (once per project)
npx claude-flow@alpha init --force --project-name "my-app"

# Feature 1: Authentication (new hive)
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "auth-system" --namespace auth --claude

# Feature 2: User management (separate hive)
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "user-management" --namespace users --claude

# Resume Feature 1 later (use session ID from spawn output)
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind resume session-xxxxx-xxxxx
```

#### **🔍 Pattern 3: Research & Analysis**
```bash
# Start research session
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "Research microservices patterns" --agents researcher,analyst --claude

# Continue research in SAME session
npx claude-flow@alpha memory stats # See what's been learned
npx claude-flow@alpha swarm "Deep dive into API gateway patterns" --continue-session
```

### **🤔 When Should I Create a New Hive?**

| Situation | Action | Command |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| **Same objective/feature** | Continue existing hive | `npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind resume ` |
| **New feature in same project** | Create new hive with namespace | `npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "new-feature" --namespace feature-name` |
| **Completely different project** | New directory + init | `mkdir new-project && cd new-project && npx claude-flow@alpha init` |
| **Experimenting/testing** | Temporary hive | `npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "experiment" --temp` |

### **📁 Understanding "Empty" Directories**

**Don't panic if directories seem empty!** Claude-Flow uses SQLite databases that may not show files in directory listings:

```bash
# Check what's actually stored (even if directories look empty)
npx claude-flow@alpha memory stats # See memory data
npx claude-flow@alpha memory list # List all namespaces
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind status # See active hives

# Your project structure after initialization:
# .hive-mind/ <- Contains config.json + SQLite session data
# .swarm/ <- Contains memory.db (SQLite database)
# memory/ <- Agent-specific memories (created when agents spawn)
# coordination/ <- Active workflow files (created during tasks)
```

### **🔄 Continuing Previous Work**

```bash
# See what you were working on
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind status
npx claude-flow@alpha memory query --recent --limit 5

# List all sessions to find the one you want
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind sessions

# Resume specific session by ID
npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind resume session-xxxxx-xxxxx
```

---

## 🪝 **Advanced Hooks System**

### **Automated Workflow Enhancement**
Claude-Flow v2.0.0 introduces a powerful hooks system that automates coordination and enhances every operation:

```bash
# Hooks automatically trigger on operations
npx claude-flow@alpha init --force # Auto-configures MCP servers & hooks
```

### **Available Hooks**

#### **Pre-Operation Hooks**
- **`pre-task`**: Auto-assigns agents based on task complexity
- **`pre-search`**: Caches searches for improved performance
- **`pre-edit`**: Validates files and prepares resources
- **`pre-command`**: Security validation before execution

#### **Post-Operation Hooks**
- **`post-edit`**: Auto-formats code using language-specific tools
- **`post-task`**: Trains neural patterns from successful operations
- **`post-command`**: Updates memory with operation context
- **`notification`**: Real-time progress updates

#### **Session Hooks**
- **`session-start`**: Restores previous context automatically
- **`session-end`**: Generates summaries and persists state
- **`session-restore`**: Loads memory from previous sessions

### **Hook Configuration**
```json
// .claude/settings.json (auto-configured)
{
"hooks": {
"preEditHook": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["claude-flow", "hooks", "pre-edit", "--file", "${file}", "--auto-assign-agents", "true"],
"alwaysRun": false
},
"postEditHook": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["claude-flow", "hooks", "post-edit", "--file", "${file}", "--format", "true"],
"alwaysRun": true
},
"sessionEndHook": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["claude-flow", "hooks", "session-end", "--generate-summary", "true"],
"alwaysRun": true
}
}
}
```

### **Using Hooks in Claude Code**

Hooks integrate seamlessly with Claude Code's workflow:

1. **Automatic Triggering**: Hooks fire automatically during Claude Code operations
2. **Context Awareness**: Each hook receives relevant context (file paths, commands, etc.)
3. **Non-Blocking**: Hooks run asynchronously to maintain performance
4. **Configurable**: Enable/disable specific hooks as needed

### **Hook Examples**

```bash
# Manual hook execution
npx claude-flow hooks pre-task --description "Build REST API" --auto-spawn-agents

# Post-edit with formatting
npx claude-flow hooks post-edit --file "src/api.js" --format --train-neural

# Session management
npx claude-flow hooks session-end --generate-summary --persist-state
```

### **Fixing Hook Variable Interpolation**

If you're experiencing issues with `${file}` or `${command}` variables not working in your hooks (common with Claude Code 1.0.51+), use the `fix-hook-variables` command:

```bash
# Fix all found settings.json files
npx claude-flow@alpha fix-hook-variables

# Fix specific file
npx claude-flow@alpha fix-hook-variables .claude/settings.json

# Create test configuration
npx claude-flow@alpha fix-hook-variables --test
```

This command automatically transforms legacy variable syntax to working environment variables:
- `${file}` → `$CLAUDE_EDITED_FILE`
- `${command}` → `$CLAUDE_COMMAND`
- `${tool}` → `$CLAUDE_TOOL`
