Claude Flow treats memory as the backbone and MCP tools as the hands. You get concurrent agents that coordinate cleanly, keep context tight, and ship durable artifacts without dragging long text through prompts. It feels like an ops layer for intelligence.

The stack is simple. Claude Code as the client. Claude Flow as the MCP server. SQLite memory at .swarm/memory.db for state, events, patterns, workflow checkpoints, and consensus. Artifacts hold the big payloads. Manifests in memory link everything with ids, tags, and checksums.

Coordination is explicit. Agents write hints to a shared blackboard, gate risky steps behind consensus, and record every transition as an event. Hooks inject minimal context before tools run and persist verified outcomes after. Small bundles in, durable facts out.

Planning keeps runs stable. Use GOAP to sequence actions with clear preconditions. Use OODA to shorten loops.

Observe metrics, orient with patterns, decide through votes, act with orchestration. Topology adapts from hi

Displaying HDMI sources on Apple Vision Pro

While it's possible to stream most content to Apple Vision Pro directly over the internet, having the ability to use Apple Vision Pro as an HDMI display can still be useful.

Since Apple Vision Pro does not support connecting to an HDMI input directly or using an HDMI capture card, we have to be a little creative to make this work. NDI provides the ability to stream HDMI content over a local network with really low latency, and it works great with Apple Vision Pro.

This page shows the setup I’m using.

Reclaim WSL's unused virtual disk space

Compact a WSL distro's virtual disk to reclaim unused storage space.

WSL's virtual disk grows when needed but doesn't shrink by itself. Here is how to reclaim the unused space. This can sometimes free hundreds of GBs for use on Windows.
