What it does

Ruflo Status is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Diagnose Ruflo health, then report system, MCP server, and active-agent status without changing the installation

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/ruflo-status”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(npx *)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c04654. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(npx *)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ruflo Status loads about 249 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 91 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~249

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Ruflo status

Use this skill when the user asks for Ruflo health, diagnostics, MCP server state, or active-agent status.

Default read-only workflow

Run these commands in order:

bash
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest doctor
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest status

Summarize the diagnostics and status together. Do not repair, reset, start, stop, install, or otherwise change anything during the default workflow.

Explicit repair workflow

Only when the user explicitly asks to fix or auto-repair the installation, replace the first command with:

bash
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest doctor --fix
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest status

Report what the repair changed and the resulting status. Never infer authorization for doctor --fix from a request to check or diagnose Ruflo.
