Usage Patterns

1. Create Coordinated Issue with Swarm Tracking

// Initialize issue management swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "star", maxAgents: 3 }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "Issue Coordinator" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "researcher", name: "Requirements Analyst" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coder", name: "Implementation Planner" }

// Create comprehensive issue
mcp__github__create_issue {
  owner: "ruvnet",
  repo: "ruv-FANN",
  title: "Integration Review: claude-code-flow and ruv-swarm complete integration",
  body: `## 🔄 Integration Review

  ### Overview
  Comprehensive review and integration between packages.

  ### Objectives
  - [ ] Verify dependencies and imports
  - [ ] Ensure MCP tools integration
  - [ ] Check hook system integration
  - [ ] Validate memory systems alignment

  ### Swarm Coordination
  This issue will be managed by coordinated swarm agents for optimal progress tracking.`,
  labels: ["integration", "review", "enhancement"],
  assignees: ["ruvnet"]
}

// Set up automated tracking
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate {
  task: "Monitor and coordinate issue progress with automated updates",
  strategy: "adaptive",
  priority: "medium"
}

2. Automated Progress Updates

// Update issue with progress from swarm memory
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
  action: "retrieve",
  key: "issue/54$progress"
}

// Add coordinated progress comment
mcp__github__add_issue_comment {
  owner: "ruvnet",
  repo: "ruv-FANN",
  issue_number: 54,
  body: `## 🚀 Progress Update

}

// Store progress in swarm memory
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
  action: "store",
  key: "issue/54$latest_update",
  value: { timestamp: Date.now(), progress: "89%", status: "near_completion" }
}

3. Multi-Issue Project Coordination

// Search and coordinate related issues
mcp__github__search_issues {
  q: "repo:ruvnet$ruv-FANN label:integration state:open",
  sort: "created",
  order: "desc"
}

// Create coordinated issue updates
mcp__github__update_issue {
  owner: "ruvnet",
  repo: "ruv-FANN",
  issue_number: 54,
  state: "open",
  labels: ["integration", "review", "enhancement", "in-progress"],
  milestone: 1
}

Batch Operations Example

Complete Issue Management Workflow:

[Single Message - Issue Lifecycle Management]:
  // Initialize issue coordination swarm
  mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "mesh", maxAgents: 4 }
  mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "Issue Manager" }
  mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "analyst", name: "Progress Tracker" }
  mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "researcher", name: "Context Gatherer" }

  // Create multiple related issues using gh CLI
  Bash(`gh issue create \
    --repo :owner/:repo \
    --title "Feature: Advanced GitHub Integration" \
    --body "Implement comprehensive GitHub workflow automation..." \
    --label "feature,github,high-priority"`)

  Bash(`gh issue create \
    --repo :owner/:repo \
    --title "Bug: PR merge conflicts in integration branch" \
    --body "Resolve merge conflicts in integration$claude-code-flow-ruv-swarm..." \
    --label "bug,integration,urgent"`)

  Bash(`gh issue create \
    --repo :owner/:repo \
    --title "Documentation: Update integration guides" \
    --body "Update all documentation to reflect new GitHub workflows..." \
    --label "documentation,integration"`)


  // Set up coordinated tracking
  TodoWrite { todos: [
    { id: "github-feature", content: "Implement GitHub integration", status: "pending", priority: "high" },
    { id: "merge-conflicts", content: "Resolve PR conflicts", status: "pending", priority: "critical" },
    { id: "docs-update", content: "Update documentation", status: "pending", priority: "medium" }
  ]}

  // Store initial coordination state
  mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
    action: "store",
    key: "project$github_integration$issues",
    value: { created: Date.now(), total_issues: 3, status: "initialized" }
  }
