Agentic Flow Overview

@sparkleideas/agentic-flow provides task routing, agent orchestration, adaptive learning hooks, background workers, and swarm-coordination tools for coding workflows. It initializes a project workspace, bootstraps context from the codebase, and can run as an MCP server for Claude Code. Use it when development tasks benefit from specialized agents, learned routing, or coordinated multi-agent execution. A TypeScript API is also available for routing tasks programmatically.

Primary Use Cases for Agentic Flow:
  • Route implementation tasks to specialized coding agents
  • Pretrain hooks against an existing codebase
  • Dispatch background workers for learning, optimization, or auditing
  • Coordinate multi-agent coding and review workflows
