Do you know any alternatives to claude-flow?

[HowToCount]

I’m really hoping to find a similar tool for Gemini or OpenRouter APIs..

Thank me later, we just need a setup document for how OpenRouter can be used along side Claude Flow #516 (comment)

Welp here is an AIO solution man @HowToCount https://github.com/UfoMiao/zcf

ORCH (https://github.com/oxgeneral/ORCH) is a lightweight alternative worth checking out.

Key differences from claude-flow:

• CLI-first, adapter-agnostic: supports Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, and shell scripts in one team
• Validated state machine: tasks flow through todo → in_progress → review → done (enforces human-in-the-loop review before completion)
• Typed task queue: agents claim tasks from a shared queue, dispatch is automatic
• Zero infrastructure: all state in .orchestry/ (YAML + JSONL), just npm install
• TUI dashboard: real-time visibility with Tasks/Agents/Goals tabs

npm install -g @oxgeneral/orch
orch agent add "Backend" --adapter claude --role "Senior TS developer"
orch agent add "QA" --adapter codex --role "Test engineer"
orch task add "Implement auth" -p 1
orch run --all

Before looking for alternatives, it helps to know what ruflo actually does vs what it claims — so you know which capabilities you're actually replacing.

We ran an independent audit of all 300+ MCP tools. ~10 are real, ~290 are stubs that write JSON but don't execute anything. The parts worth replacing:

What actually works (and alternatives):

Ruflo Feature	What It Does	Alternative
memory_store/search	HNSW vector search (384-dim)	Qdrant MCP, or a ~200-line custom server with hnswlib-node
embeddings_generate	Local all-MiniLM-L6-v2	@xenova/transformers directly
Session persistence	JSON key-value	Any file-based store

What doesn't work (so don't bother replacing):

• agent_spawn — never spawns a subprocess
• task_assign — no worker picks up tasks
• neural_train — returns Math.random() accuracy
• wasm_agent_prompt — echoes input back
• All consensus types (byzantine/raft/queen) — same JSON handler
• workflow_execute — 'Workflow not found' even after creation

@oxgeneral's ORCH suggestion above looks promising — at minimum it has a validated state machine with actual task dispatch, which is the fundamental piece ruflo is missing.

For a pure Claude Code setup: Claude's native Agent tool spawns real subprocesses. Add Serena MCP for code navigation + Context7 for docs + Qdrant for vector search and you have everything ruflo's real tools provide, without the 290 stubs bloating your context.
