Description

@ruvnet

🚀 Release v2.0.0-alpha.91

Overview

This release focuses on enhancing the integration between Claude Code's Task tool and MCP coordination tools, with clear documentation emphasizing that Claude Code's Task tool is for actual agent execution while MCP tools are only for coordination setup.

🎯 Key Improvements

Claude Code Task Tool Integration

  • Enhanced CLAUDE.md Templates: Clear guidance that Claude Code's Task tool spawns agents for actual work
  • Improved Swarm Prompts: Prominent emphasis on Task tool usage for agent execution
  • Enhanced Hive Mind Prompts: Three-step process with Required Task tool execution
  • Clear Separation: MCP tools marked as coordination-only, not for execution

📋 Batch Operation Emphasis

  • TodoWrite Batching: Strong emphasis on batching 5-10+ todos in ONE call
  • Task Tool Concurrency: Comprehensive examples of parallel agent execution (6-8 agents)
  • Single Message Pattern: ALL operations in ONE message for 300% performance improvement

🛠️ Command Documentation Fix

  • Complete Init Command: Now creates ALL 91 command documentation files
    • 10 swarm command files
    • 12 hive-mind command files
    • 5 agents documentation files
    • All properly organized in subdirectories

📁 File Organization Rules

  • Never save to root folder: All files properly organized
  • Clear directory structure guidance in CLAUDE.md
  • Proper organization for /src, /tests, /docs, /config directories

📊 Impact

  • Clear distinction between MCP coordination and Task execution
  • Improved developer experience with comprehensive documentation
  • Complete command documentation coverage (91 files)
  • Better performance through batch operation emphasis

🔧 Technical Details

Files Modified

  • src/cli/simple-commands/init/templates/claude-md.js - CLAUDE.md template
  • src/cli/simple-commands/hive-mind.js - generateHiveMindPrompt() function
  • src/cli/simple-commands/swarm.js - swarm prompt generation
  • src/cli/simple-commands/init/templates/enhanced-templates.js - Complete command structure
  • package.json - Version bump to 2.0.0-alpha.91
  • CHANGELOG.md - Comprehensive release notes

Key Pattern

// CORRECT: Claude Code Task tool for execution
Task("Researcher", "Analyze...", "researcher")
Task("Coder", "Implement...", "coder")
Task("Tester", "Test...", "tester")
TodoWrite { todos: [8-10 todos in ONE call] }

// MCP only for coordination setup
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "mesh" }

📝 Installation

npm install -g claude-flow@alpha
# or
npx claude-flow@alpha --version

🎯 Key Takeaways

  1. Always use Claude Code's Task tool to spawn agents that do actual work
  2. MCP tools are ONLY for coordination setup, not execution
  3. Batch everything: Spawn ALL agents in ONE message
  4. TodoWrite must batch: Always include 5-10+ todos in ONE call
  5. Use coordination hooks: Every agent must use claude-flow hooks
  6. Proper file organization: Never save files to root directory

🚀 Next Steps

  • Test the new init command to verify all 91 command files are created
  • Review the enhanced CLAUDE.md for clear Task tool guidance
  • Use the new swarm and hive-mind prompts for better agent coordination

Remember: Claude Flow coordinates, Claude Code creates!
