plugins/ruflo-intelligence/README.md
User-facing surface for Ruflo's self-learning system. Wraps 29 intelligence-related MCP tools across four families into discoverable skills, commands, and the canonical 4-step pipeline (RETRIEVE → JUDGE → DISTILL → CONSOLIDATE). Coordinates with ruflo-agentdb (namespace convention), ruflo-ruvector (trajectory recording substrate), and ruflo-browser (consumes trajectory hooks for session replay).
Status: ADR-0001 implemented. Plugin v0.3.0 targets

CLAUDE.md describes the V3 intelligence loop as four discrete phases. This plugin operationalizes them:
| Step | What happens | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| RETRIEVE | Pull relevant patterns + past trajectories from HNSW index | hooks_intelligence_pattern-search, agentdb_pattern-search, agentdb_semantic-route |
| JUDGE | Score retrieved candidates with verdicts (success / failure / partial) | hooks_intelligence_attention, neural_predict, hooks_explain |
| DISTILL | Extract the key learnings via LoRA / SONA adaptation | ruvllm_sona_adapt, ruvllm_microlora_adapt, neural_train, hooks_intelligence_learn |
| CONSOLIDATE | Prevent catastrophic forgetting via EWC++ | agentdb_consolidate, ruvllm_microlora_adapt --consolidate, neural_compress |
For an end-to-end run:
hooks_pretrain
→ hooks_intelligence_trajectory-start
→ (each step) hooks_intelligence_trajectory-step
→ hooks_intelligence_trajectory-end
→ hooks_intelligence_learn
→ ruvllm_sona_adapt # DISTILL
→ agentdb_consolidate # CONSOLIDATE
→ neural_compress # storage efficiency
hooks_transfer is the substrate plugin's most underused capability. It publishes learned patterns to IPFS (via Pinata) so a different project — or a different machine — can fetch and apply them. Use the intelligence-transfer skill or call directly:
# Publish patterns from this project to IPFS
mcp tool call hooks_transfer --json -- '{"action": "store", "patterns": [...]}'
# Fetch and apply patterns from a CID
mcp tool call hooks_transfer --json -- '{"action": "load", "cid": "QmXyz..."}'
# Mirror an entire project's patterns
mcp tool call hooks_transfer --json -- '{"action": "from-project", "source": "/path/to/project"}'
Prerequisite: PINATA_API_JWT (or the equivalent endpoint env vars) must be configured. Without it, hooks_transfer returns a structured success: false with the missing-config error.
Several Claude Code hooks fire intelligence-side writes:
| Hook | Tool invoked | Target |
|---|---|---|
pre-task | hooks_route + hooks_intelligence_pattern-search | RETRIEVE phase |
post-task --train-neural | agentdb_pattern-store (ReasoningBank) → falls back to memory_store --namespace pattern | DISTILL phase, writes to pattern namespace |
pretrain (one-shot) | hooks_pretrain → seeds memory_store --namespace patterns | Bootstrap, writes to patterns namespace (plural) |
| Trajectory hooks (ruvector substrate) | intelligence_trajectory-* | Recorded by ruflo-ruvector; consumed by this plugin's pattern-store |
Pluralization gotcha: ReasoningBank fallback writes to
pattern(singular). Thepretrainhook writes topatterns(plural). They are different namespaces. Seeruflo-agentdbADR-0001 §"Namespace convention" for the canonical contract.
This plugin defers to ruflo-agentdb ADR-0001 for namespace conventions. Three reserved namespaces are read by the intelligence pipeline:
| Namespace | Read by | Source |
|---|---|---|
pattern | hooks_intelligence_pattern-search, agentdb_pattern-search | ReasoningBank fallback target |
patterns (plural) | hooks_pretrain, neural_train corpus | distinct from pattern |
claude-memories | memory_search_unified (default include) | Claude Code auto-memory bridge |
Do not invent new top-level namespaces for intelligence purposes — the convention is owned upstream.
The plugin claims EWC++ consolidation; here's how to actually invoke it:
hooks_intelligence_learn to register the outcome.agentdb_consolidate to fold patterns into the long-term store under EWC++ semantics.ruvllm_microlora_adapt with the --consolidate flag to apply Elastic Weight Consolidation on the adapter's weight deltas. This prevents catastrophic forgetting when the adapter is trained on a new domain.Without these calls, fresh trajectories overwrite older patterns without protection — the system "forgets". The pipeline diagram above bakes consolidation into step 4 deliberately.
hooks_intelligence accepts a mode parameter that selects the active learning architecture:
| Mode | When to use |
|---|---|
balanced (default) | General-purpose: SONA + HNSW retrieval, no MoE specialization |
sona | Single-domain specialization with SONA adaptation |
moe | Multi-domain expert routing — recommended when tasks span 3+ distinct domains |
hnsw | Pure pattern retrieval, no online adaptation |
Configure once via mcp tool call hooks_intelligence -- '{"mode": "moe", "enableSona": true}' and let the dispatcher route subsequent learning calls.
