Sylphx Flow

One CLI to rule them all — unified orchestration for Claude Code, OpenCode, and all AI development tools

Vision

The Meta-Layer for AI Development Tools

Sylphx Flow is the universal orchestrator that eliminates the fragmentation of AI coding assistants. Instead of choosing between Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, or future tools — install once, use everywhere. Flow auto-detects, auto-installs, auto-upgrades, and adapts to any environment.

Core Philosophy: AI should adapt to developers, not the other way around.

Success Metrics

Metric Target Current
npm Downloads 10K+ monthly Track on npm
GitHub Stars 1K+ Track on GitHub
Prompt Efficiency 50x shorter (10 words vs 500) ✅ Achieved via MEP
Developer Time Saved 30x faster context setup ✅ Achieved
Platform Coverage 3+ AI CLIs supported Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor

Target Users

Primary: Professional Developers

  • Pain Point: Fragmented tooling across Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor
  • Pain Point: Manual installation and updates of AI CLIs
  • Pain Point: Verbose prompts required for context (500+ words)
  • Pain Point: Accidental git commits of AI tool configs

Secondary: Development Teams

  • Pain Point: Inconsistent AI tool configurations across team members
  • Pain Point: No centralized settings management
  • Pain Point: Each developer maintains separate tool setups

Value Propositions

Value How Flow Delivers
Unification One CLI orchestrates all AI coding tools
Zero Friction Auto-detect, auto-install, auto-upgrade
MEP (Minimal Effective Prompt) 3-10 words instead of 500+
Git Safety Skip-worktree protection hides temp configs
Graceful Interruption Ctrl+C restores environment cleanly
Specialized Agents Coder, Writer, Reviewer, Orchestrator

Competitive Landscape

Competitor Strengths Weaknesses Flow's Differentiation
Claude Code Best-in-class AI, official Anthropic Single-platform lock-in Flow orchestrates it
OpenCode Open source, community-driven Less polished Flow orchestrates it
Cursor IDE integration, visual Heavy, IDE-only Flow is CLI-first, lightweight
Cline/Continue VSCode extensions IDE-specific Flow is universal

Flow's Moat: We don't compete with AI CLIs — we orchestrate them. One CLI, all tools.

Roadmap

Now (Current Focus)

  • Maintain platform parity (Claude Code, OpenCode)
  • Bug fixes and stability
  • Documentation improvements

Next (Q1 2025)

  • Loop mode for OpenCode
  • Team settings sync
  • IDE plugin (VSCode)
  • GitHub Actions integration

Later (2025+)

  • Cloud execution (remote AI orchestration)
  • Custom agent framework
  • Enterprise features (SSO, audit logs)
  • Additional AI CLI integrations as they emerge

Packages

Package Version Purpose
@sylphx/flow 2.27.0 Core CLI - unified orchestration
