How to continue using Claude-flow after first command?

[yujietan]

Hi as per title.
I started using today and after my first command, it scaffolded some project and some files. This ended at Claude code terminal. Do I

• Prompt "use Claude-flow, fix my xyz"
  Or
• exit claude-code and run ./claude-flow swarm...

Abit confused on how this works

[notwedtm]

run ./claude-flow swarm "Do X" --claude

I've started to use "Wait for user input" so I can put in a more extensive prompt before it launches into doing stuff without enough context

[yujietan]

How do you do that? Are there any examples?

[dstengle]

I literally spawn the swarm or hive with a task of "Wait for user input"

So that would be "./claude-flow swarm "Wait for user input" --claude

And it will get set up and then wait for you to tell it what to do.

OK, can you please tell me how you tell it what to do? What command? We are struggling after a swarm or hive is created how to give it a specific task.

I have been using this after the first swarm object is done:
New Hive Objective: Do X and Y

So it can follow up, doing research, then adjust the goals, implement it.

Using this I was able to spawn new agents pretty much like the swarm command but inside the same session with better context (I think?).

The first thing I do after starting a swarm or hive-mind is update the claude.md.
Followed by sparc methodology to evaluate the plan and decompose into gherkin style implementation that aligns to epics/stories/tasks. Then start the development per phased implementation tasks (very granular to start), followed by hive-mind swarms to complete full stories in a session. I keep maxing out my tokens in about 2 hours or less.

Can anyone expand on this? I've set this all up. The docs mention to run these commands.

npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "build enterprise system" --claude

But you guys are mentioning "./claude-flow swarm "Wait for user input" --claude. I run this on mine and it does nothing?

What are the best steps from clean boot up.

I fire up my IDE, then what?

Run claude
Now?? What do i do. ELI5 i'm very new to this.

Do I constantly need to keep running npx claude-flow@alpha hive-mind spawn "Do something" --claude. Each time I want a new feature on my app?

Thanks in advance
