Windows

choco install devpod

Linux

curl -L -o devpod "https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod/releases/latest/download/devpod-linux-amd64"
sudo install devpod /usr/local/bin

Launch

# DevPod (recommended)

turbo-status

---

What Gets Installed

The devpods/setup.sh script installs the complete stack in 10 automated steps:

Step 1: System Prerequisites

Package	Purpose
build-essential	C/C++ compiler (gcc, g++, make)
python3	Python runtime
git	Version control
curl	HTTP client
jq	JSON processor (required for statusline)
Node.js 20+	JavaScript runtime (required by Ruflo v3.5)

Step 2: Claude Code + Ruflo v3.5

Component	Purpose
Claude Code	Anthropic's agentic coding CLI
Ruflo v3.5	Orchestration engine — replaces claude-flow@alpha
Ruflo MCP	Registered as MCP server in Claude Code
Ruflo Doctor	Auto-diagnostic and fix pass

Ruflo v3.5 bundles: AgentDB v3, RuVector WASM, SONA, 215 MCP tools, 60+ agents, skills system, 3-tier model routing, 59 browser automation MCP tools, observability, gating

Step 3: Ruflo Plugins (6) + OpenSpec

Plugin	Purpose
Agentic QE	58 QE agents — TDD, coverage, security scanning, chaos engineering
Code Intelligence	Code analysis, pattern detection, refactoring suggestions
Test Intelligence	Test generation, gap analysis, flaky test detection
Perf Optimizer	Performance profiling, bottleneck detection
Teammate Plugin	Bridges Native Agent Teams with Ruflo swarms (21 MCP tools)
Gastown Bridge	WASM-accelerated orchestration, Beads sync (20 MCP tools)
OpenSpec	Spec-driven development (independent npm package)

Step 4: UI UX Pro Max Skill

Component	Purpose
uipro-cli	Design system skill — component patterns, accessibility, responsive layouts, design tokens

Step 5: GitNexus (Codebase Knowledge Graph)

Component	Purpose
GitNexus	Indexes dependencies, call chains, execution flows
GitNexus MCP	Registered as MCP server — blast-radius detection

Step 6: Beads (Cross-Session Memory)

Component	Purpose
@beads/bd	Git-native JSONL project memory — issues, decisions, blockers

Step 7: Workspace + Agent Teams

Component	Purpose
Directories	src/ tests/ docs/ scripts/ config/ plans/
Agent Teams	CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 enabled

Step 8: Statusline Pro v4.0

3-line statusline with 15 components:

LINE 1: [Project] name | [Model] Sonnet | [Git] branch | [TF] 4.0 | [SID] abc123
LINE 2: [Tokens] 50k/200k | [Ctx] #######--- 65% | [Cache] 42% | [Cost] $1.23 | [Time] 5m
LINE 3: [+150] [-50] | [READY]

Step 9: CLAUDE.md Generation

Generates workspace context file with:

• 3-tier memory protocol (Beads → Native Tasks → AgentDB)
• Isolation rules (one worktree per agent)
• Agent Teams rules (max 3 teammates, recursion depth 2)
• Model routing tiers (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku)
• Plugin reference
• Cost guardrails ($15/hr)

Step 10: Aliases + Environment + MCP Registration

50+ aliases across families: rf-*, ruv-*, mem-*, bd-*, wt-*, gnx-*, aqe-*, os-*, hooks-*, neural-*, turbo-status, turbo-help

Plugins (6)

Plugin	MCP Tools	Purpose
Agentic QE	16	58 QE agents, TDD, coverage, security, chaos engineering
Code Intelligence	—	Code analysis, patterns, refactoring
Test Intelligence	—	Test generation, gaps, flaky tests
Perf Optimizer	—	Profiling, bottlenecks, optimization
Teammate Plugin	21	Agent Teams ↔ Ruflo swarms bridge, semantic routing
Gastown Bridge	20	WASM orchestration, Beads sync, convoys

Removed Plugins (9)

Plugin	Reason
healthcare-clinical	Domain-specific (HIPAA/FHIR) — not needed
financial-risk	Domain-specific (PCI-DSS/SOX) — not needed
legal-contracts	Domain-specific — not needed
cognitive-kernel	Redundant with Ruflo's neural system
hyperbolic-reasoning	Redundant with RuVector WASM hyperbolic embeddings
quantum-optimizer	Redundant with Ruflo's EWC++ and RVFOptimizer
neural-coordination	Redundant with Ruflo's swarm coordination
prime-radiant	Niche — mathematical interpretability
ruvector-upstream	Redundant — RuVector bundled in Ruflo v3.5

Migrating from v3.x

1. Your old cf-* aliases are gone — use rf-* instead
2. Slash commands (/sparc, etc.) are gone — Ruflo auto-activates skills
3. Run bd init in your project repos to enable Beads memory
4. Run npx gitnexus analyze in your repos to build the knowledge graph
5. The v3/ directory preserves everything — nothing was deleted

v3.4.1	v4.0.0
cf-init	rf-init
cf-swarm	rf-swarm
cf-doctor	rf-doctor
cf-mcp	Automatic via rf-wizard
mem-search	mem-search (unchanged)
cfb-open	Via Ruflo's bundled browser MCP tools
No cross-session memory	bd-ready, bd-add
No isolation	wt-add, wt-remove
No codebase graph	gnx-analyze
