- Claude Flow Hooks: External via npx (flexible, feature-rich)

**Memory Namespaces:**
- aqe/* - Quality engineering agent state
- swarm/* - Claude Flow agent state

🚀 QUICK START EXAMPLES
**AQE Only:**
Task("Generate tests", "...", "qe-test-generator")

**Claude Flow Only:**
Task("Research agent", "...", "researcher")

**Combined Pipeline:**
[Single Message]:
  Task("Backend Developer", "...", "backend-dev")  // Claude Flow
  Task("Test Generator", "...", "qe-test-generator")  // AQE
  Task("Security Scanner", "...", "qe-security-scanner")  // AQE
  Task("Code Reviewer", "...", "reviewer")  // Claude Flow

🔧 MCP SERVERS
- agentic-qe: AQE Fleet tools (test generation, execution, quality analysis)
- claude-flow: General agent coordination and SPARC methodology
- ruv-swarm: Optional enhanced coordination
- flow-nexus: Optional cloud features

⚡ CONCURRENT EXECUTION
- GOLDEN RULE: 1 MESSAGE = ALL RELATED OPERATIONS
- TodoWrite: Batch all todos in one call
- Task tool: Spawn all agents in one message
- File operations: Batch all reads/writes/edits
- Always use appropriate subdirectories (never root folder)

📚 COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION
- 18 QE agents + 54 Claude Flow agents
- SPARC methodology integration
- Multi-Model Router (70-81% cost savings)
- Streaming progress support
- Performance benefits from both systems
- Comprehensive troubleshooting guide

💡 BEST PRACTICES
1. Use AQE agents for quality engineering tasks
2. Use Claude Flow agents for general development
3. Combine both in single workflows for full pipeline
4. Always batch operations in single messages
5. Use proper memory namespaces for coordination
6. Never save to root folder

🎯 Performance Benefits
- Claude Flow: 84.8% SWE-Bench solve rate, 2.8-4.4x speed
- AQE Fleet: 100-500x faster hooks, O(log n) algorithms, 10k+ records/sec
