Here’s how it works. Here’s how to use Ruflo — the tool that turns Claude Code into a swarm of specialist AI agents that research, plan and work in parallel. Instead of one assistant doing every step slowly, Ruflo splits the job across a team that runs at the same time.
Here’s what it does and how to actually use it.

Key takeaways
- Ruflo turns Claude Code into a team of specialist agents working in parallel.
- It breaks a big job into smaller ones — research, plan, brief, organise — that run at once.
- It’s brilliant for content automation and any multi-step workflow.
- The ready-made setup and training are in the AI Profit Boardroom.
What Is Ruflo?
Ruflo Agent Swarm takes Claude Code and turns it into a coordinated team of specialist agents. Rather than forcing one assistant to do every step slowly, the swarm breaks a workflow into smaller jobs — research, topic selection, planning, briefing, organising — that can run in parallel.
The result is faster, more thorough work: it’s like handing a project to a small agency instead of a single freelancer.
How to Use Ruflo (Step by Step)
- Start with a clear goal — e.g. “research and outline 10 articles on X”.
- Let Ruflo split the work — it assigns specialist agents to research, plan and organise.
- Let the swarm run in parallel — the agents work at the same time, not one after another.
- Review the organised output — you get structured, briefed work rather than one long messy draft.
- Iterate — refine the goal and let the swarm run again.
It works on top of Claude Code — see my how to install Ruflo guide to get set up first.
What to Use Ruflo For
- Content automation — research, outlines and briefs across many pieces at once
- Research projects — parallel agents gathering and organising information
- Planning workflows — breaking a big goal into structured steps
- Any multi-step task that benefits from specialists working in parallel
For pairing it with Claude, see my Claude + Ruflo guide.
Ruflo vs a Single Agent
The reason Ruflo works is that most real work isn’t one task — it’s many. A single agent does them in sequence, slowly. Ruflo’s swarm does them in parallel, with each agent focused on what it’s best at. For anything with multiple moving parts, that’s a big speed and quality win.
It also pairs beautifully with Hermes — see my Hermes + Claude Code guide.
Ruflo Swarm vs a Single Agent
Why does the swarm approach win? Because real work is many tasks, not one:
| Single agent | Ruflo swarm | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | One agent, step by step | Many specialists in parallel |
| Speed | Slower (sequential) | Faster (concurrent) |
| Depth | One perspective | A specialist per sub-task |
| Best for | Simple, single tasks | Multi-step workflows |
Tips for Getting the Best From Ruflo
- Give it a clear, specific goal — the sharper the brief, the better the swarm splits the work.
- Let the specialists specialise — don’t collapse everything into one agent; the parallelism is the point.
- Review the plan before the build — check the research and outline the swarm produces, then let it run.
- Pair it with Hermes — for always-on, scheduled swarm runs.
- Keep a memory system — so the swarm knows your context and doesn’t start from scratch.
Is Ruflo Worth Using?
If your work has multiple steps — and most real work does — then yes. Ruflo takes the biggest weakness of a single agent (doing everything slowly, in order) and fixes it with parallel specialists. For content, research and planning especially, it’s a genuine step up, and because it’s free on top of Claude Code, there’s little reason not to try it.
