Programmatic API for the V3 init system.

Installation

import {
  executeInit,
  detectPlatform,
  DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS,
  MINIMAL_INIT_OPTIONS,

  type InitOptions,
  type InitResult,
  type PlatformInfo,
} from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

Core Functions

executeInit

Main initialization function.

async function executeInit(options: InitOptions): Promise<InitResult>

Parameters:

• options: InitOptions - Configuration options

Returns:

• Promise<InitResult> - Result with created files and errors

Example:

import { executeInit, DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

const result = await executeInit({
  ...DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS,
  targetDir: '/path/to/project',
  sourceBaseDir: '/path/to/claude-flow',
  force: true,
});

if (result.success) {
  console.log(`Created ${result.created.files.length} files`);
  console.log(`Platform: ${result.platform.os}`);
}

detectPlatform

Detect current operating system and environment.

function detectPlatform(): PlatformInfo

Returns:

• PlatformInfo - Platform detection results

Example:

import { detectPlatform } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

const platform = detectPlatform();
console.log(`OS: ${platform.os}`);
console.log(`Shell: ${platform.shell}`);
console.log(`Config dir: ${platform.configDir}`);

Generator Functions

Settings Generator

import { generateSettings, generateSettingsJson } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

// Generate settings object
const settings = generateSettings(options);

// Generate JSON string
const json = generateSettingsJson(options);

MCP Generator

import { generateMCPConfig, generateMCPJson, generateMCPCommands } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

// Generate MCP config object
const config = generateMCPConfig(options);

// Generate .mcp.json content
const json = generateMCPJson(options);

// Generate manual add commands
const commands = generateMCPCommands(options);
// ['claude mcp add claude-flow -- npx -y ruflo@latest mcp start', ...]

Helpers Generator

import {
  generatePreCommitHook,
  generatePostCommitHook,
  generateSessionManager,
  generateAgentRouter,
  generateMemoryHelper,
  generateWindowsDaemonManager,
  generateWindowsBatchWrapper,
  generateCrossPlatformSessionManager,
  generateHelpers,
} from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

// Generate individual scripts
const preCommit = generatePreCommitHook();
const sessionMgr = generateCrossPlatformSessionManager();
const windowsDaemon = generateWindowsDaemonManager();

// Generate all helpers based on options
const helpers = generateHelpers(options);
// { 'pre-commit': '...', 'session.js': '...', ... }

Statusline Generator

import { generateStatuslineScript, generateStatuslineHook } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

// Generate statusline.js content
const script = generateStatuslineScript(options);

// Generate shell hook content
const hook = generateStatuslineHook(options);

Preset Configurations

DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS

Recommended settings for most projects:

• All components enabled (except statusline as optional)
• Core, AgentDB, GitHub, V3 skills
• All command groups
• Core, GitHub, SPARC, Swarm agents
• All 7 hook types
• Hierarchical-mesh topology
• 15 max agents
• Hybrid memory backend

MINIMAL_INIT_OPTIONS

Lightweight configuration:

• Settings, skills, MCP, runtime only
• Core skills only
• Core agents only
• Essential hooks (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, PermissionRequest)
• Mesh topology
• 5 max agents
• In-memory backend

FULL_INIT_OPTIONS

Everything enabled:

• All components
• All skill sets including Flow Nexus
• All command groups
• All agent categories
• All hook types
• All MCP servers

Usage Examples

Basic Initialization

import { executeInit, DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

const result = await executeInit({
  ...DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS,
  targetDir: process.cwd(),
});

Custom Configuration

import { executeInit, DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

const result = await executeInit({
  ...DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS,
  targetDir: '/my/project',
  sourceBaseDir: '/path/to/claude-flow', // Source for skills/commands/agents
  force: true,
  components: {
    ...DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS.components,
    statusline: true,
  },
  skills: {
    core: true,
    agentdb: true,
    github: false, // Skip GitHub skills
    flowNexus: false,
    v3: true,
    all: false,
  },
  runtime: {
    topology: 'adaptive',
    maxAgents: 20,
    memoryBackend: 'agentdb',
    enableHNSW: true,
    enableNeural: true,
  },
});

Platform-Aware Initialization

import { executeInit, detectPlatform, DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

const platform = detectPlatform();

const result = await executeInit({
  ...DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS,
  targetDir: process.cwd(),
  // Platform-specific adjustments
  components: {
    ...DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS.components,
    // Enable statusline on Unix-like systems
    statusline: platform.os !== 'windows',
  },
});

console.log(`Initialized for ${platform.os} (${platform.shell})`);

Selective Component Installation

import { executeInit, MINIMAL_INIT_OPTIONS } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

// Install only skills
const skillsOnly = await executeInit({
  ...MINIMAL_INIT_OPTIONS,
  targetDir: process.cwd(),
  components: {
    settings: false,
    skills: true,
    commands: false,
    agents: false,
    helpers: false,
    statusline: false,
    mcp: false,
    runtime: false,
  },
  skills: {
    core: true,
    agentdb: true,
    github: true,
    flowNexus: false,
    v3: true,
    all: false,
  },
});

Error Handling

import { executeInit, DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS } from '@claude-flow/cli/init';

try {
  const result = await executeInit({
    ...DEFAULT_INIT_OPTIONS,
    targetDir: '/path/to/project',
  });

  if (!result.success) {
    console.error('Initialization failed:');
    for (const error of result.errors) {
      console.error(`  - ${error}`);
    }
    process.exit(1);
  }

  // Log skipped files
  if (result.skipped.length > 0) {
    console.log('Skipped (already exist):');
    for (const file of result.skipped) {
      console.log(`  - ${file}`);
    }
  }

  console.log(`Success! Created ${result.created.files.length} files`);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
  process.exit(1);
}
