ruflo-rvf

RVF format for portable agent memory, session persistence, and cross-platform transfer.

Install

/plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-rvf@ruflo

Features

  • RVF format: Portable vector memory with embeddings, metadata, and causal graphs
  • Session persistence: Save and restore complete agent sessions across conversations
  • Cross-project transfer: Export and import knowledge between projects
  • Claude memory bridge: Import Claude Code auto-memories into AgentDB
  • Format migration: Upgrade RVF files across versions

Encryption at rest (ruflo 3.6.25+)

Sessions persisted by this plugin land at .claude-flow/sessions/*.json, which are written through fs-secure.writeFileRestricted({encrypt:true}) per ADR-096. Behavior under the gate:

  • Off by default (CLAUDE_FLOW_ENCRYPT_AT_REST unset / falsy) — sessions are plaintext JSON at mode 0600, same as ruflo 3.6.24 and earlier.
  • On (CLAUDE_FLOW_ENCRYPT_AT_REST=1 + CLAUDE_FLOW_ENCRYPTION_KEY set to 64-char hex or 44-char base64) — each session save is AES-256-GCM with RFE1 magic-byte prefix. Session restore transparently decrypts via the magic sniff; legacy plaintext sessions still load unchanged during migration.

When exporting RVF files for cross-machine transfer, the encryption gate does NOT apply to the exported bytes — the encryption is at-rest on the originating host. If the RVF is itself sensitive, transport security (sealed boxes / signed blobs) is the next phase per the ADR roadmap.

Confirm the gate state with ruflo doctor -c encryption.

Commands

  • /rvf -- Memory stats, saved sessions, storage metrics

Skills

  • rvf-manage -- Manage RVF files for portable memory
  • session-persist -- Persist and restore agent sessions

Compatibility

  • CLI: pinned to @claude-flow/cli v3.6 major+minor.
  • Verification: bash plugins/ruflo-rvf/scripts/smoke.sh is the contract.

Cross-plugin RVF ownership

RVF (RuVector Format) cognitive containers appear in three plugins. Each owns a different slice:

SliceOwnerWhat it does
Portable memory + session persistenceruflo-rvf (this plugin)High-level skills for save/restore, cross-machine transfer
Browser sessions as RVFruflo-browser ADR-0001Each browser session is allocated as an RVF container at session-start (manifest, trajectory, screenshots, snapshots, cookies, findings)
RVF tooling (10 subcommands)ruflo-ruvector ADR-0001`ruvector rvf create

This plugin sits on top of ruvector's tooling and feeds browser's session-as-RVF model.

Namespace coordination

This plugin owns the rvf-sessions AgentDB namespace (kebab-case, follows the convention from ruflo-agentdb ADR-0001 §"Namespace convention"). Reserved namespaces (pattern, claude-memories, default) MUST NOT be shadowed.

rvf-sessions indexes saved session manifests + their RVF container paths. Accessed via memory_* (namespace-routed).

Verification

bash
bash plugins/ruflo-rvf/scripts/smoke.sh
# Expected: "10 passed, 0 failed"

Architecture Decisions

  • ruflo-ruvector — exposes the ruvector rvf * tooling this plugin sits on top of
  • ruflo-browser — uses RVF containers for session-as-skill artifacts (ADR-0001 there)
  • ruflo-agentdb — namespace convention owner
