Table of Contents

Hive-Mind Mode

Overview

Hive-Mind mode enables persistent collaborative AI sessions where multiple agents work together with shared memory and state.

Key Components

  • Queen Coordinator: Central orchestrator managing worker agents
  • Worker Agents: Specialized agents (architect, coder, tester, security)
  • Shared Memory: SQLite-based state persistence across agents
  • Session Management: Named sessions for different features/branches

Usage

Starting a Session

/hive-start mysession

This creates:

  • Session directory: .ccd_hive/mysession/
  • Shared SQLite database for agent communication
  • Persistent state across Claude Code restarts

Managing Sessions

# Check current session
/hive-status

# Stop session
/hive-stop

# Control via Python script
python scripts/ccdk-hive.py --list
python scripts/ccdk-hive.py --session mysession --status

Best Practices

  1. Use descriptive session names: feature-auth, bugfix-api, etc.
  2. One session per feature: Keep concerns separated
  3. Regular status checks: Monitor agent coordination
  4. Clean up completed sessions: Prevent database bloat

Memory Persistence

Overview

SQLite-based memory system maintaining context across sessions and agents.

Key Features

  • Automatic Loading: Session start loads previous memory
  • Automatic Saving: Session end persists current state
  • Cross-Agent Sharing: Hive workers share memory
  • Structured Storage: Organized by session and timestamp

Database Structure

-- Memory Table
CREATE TABLE memory (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    session_id TEXT,
    timestamp DATETIME,
    agent_name TEXT,
    memory_type TEXT,
    content TEXT,
    metadata JSON
);

-- Session Table
CREATE TABLE sessions (
    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    created_at DATETIME,
    updated_at DATETIME,
    status TEXT,
    metadata JSON
);

Memory Types

  1. Context Memory: Project understanding
  2. Task Memory: Current task state
  3. Decision Memory: Architectural choices
  4. Error Memory: Failure patterns
  5. Success Memory: Working solutions

Usage Patterns

// Automatic memory injection
// When session starts, previous context loads

// Memory available to all agents
// Architect's decisions inform Coder
// Tester's findings update Security

// Persistent across restarts
// Resume exactly where you left off

CI/CD Integration

Overview

Automated continuous integration and deployment workflows triggered by development actions.

Components

  • GitHub Actions: Workflow automation
  • Post-Edit Hook: Triggers on code changes
  • Deployment Preview: Temporary environments
  • MkDocs Integration: Documentation building

GitHub Actions Workflow

# .github/workflows/ccdk.yml

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Overview

Sophisticated coordination of multiple specialized AI agents working on different aspects of a task simultaneously.

Orchestration Patterns

Swarm Pattern

/swarm-run "implement authentication"
  • Transient agent group
  • Parallel execution
  • Result aggregation
  • Auto-cleanup

Hive Pattern

/hive-start "feature-development"
  • Persistent agent group
  • Shared memory
  • Coordinated execution
  • Long-running tasks

Pipeline Pattern

Architect → Coder → Tester → Security
  • Sequential processing
  • Output chaining
  • Quality gates
  • Feedback loops

Agent Communication

  1. Direct Messaging: Via shared memory
  2. Event Broadcasting: Through hooks
  3. State Sharing: SQLite database
  4. Result Aggregation: Queen coordinator

Best Practices

  • Right-size the team: Don't over-orchestrate simple tasks
  • Define clear boundaries: Each agent should have distinct responsibilities
  • Monitor coordination: Use analytics to identify bottlenecks
  • Iterate on patterns: Refine orchestration based on results

3-Tier Documentation System

Overview

Hierarchical documentation structure minimizing maintenance while maximizing AI context effectiveness.

Tier Structure

Tier 1: Foundation (CLAUDE.md)

  • Master AI context file
  • Project-wide standards
  • Core architectural decisions
  • Integration patterns

Tier 2: Component (CONTEXT.md)

  • Component-level documentation
  • Local patterns and conventions
  • Component-specific context
  • Interface definitions

Tier 3: Feature (CONTEXT.md)

  • Feature-specific details
  • Implementation notes
  • Edge cases
  • Testing considerations

Auto-Loading Mechanism

// Every command automatically loads:
@/CLAUDE.md                              // Tier 1
@/docs/ai-context/project-structure.md   // Project map
@/docs/ai-context/docs-overview.md       // Doc routing

// Commands determine additional tiers:
// - Simple tasks: Tier 1 only
// - Component work: Tier 1 + 2
// - Feature work: All tiers

Documentation Routing

The docs-overview.md file acts as a router:

## Documentation Map
- Authentication → backend/auth/CONTEXT.md
- API Layer → backend/api/CONTEXT.md
- UI Components → frontend/components/CONTEXT.md

Maintenance Strategy

  1. Update on change: Use /update-docs immediately
  2. Document current state: Not plans or wishes
  3. Keep it DRY: Don't duplicate between tiers
  4. Use templates: Consistent structure across projects

Fault-Tolerant Hooks

Overview

Robust hook system ensuring graceful degradation and continued operation even when individual hooks fail.

Error Handling Architecture

// hook-wrapper.js
class HookWrapper {
  async execute(hookFn, ...args) {
    try {
      return await hookFn(...args);
    } catch (error) {
      this.logError(error);
      return this.gracefulFallback();
    }
  }
}

Key Features

  1. Isolation: Hook failures don't crash Claude Code
  2. Logging: All errors logged for debugging
  3. Fallback: Sensible defaults on failure
  4. Recovery: Automatic retry with backoff
  5. Monitoring: Track hook health via analytics

Hook Response Format

All hooks return standardized responses:

interface HookResponse {
  status: 'success' | 'error' | 'warning';
  message?: string;
  data?: any;
  error?: Error;
}

Testing Infrastructure

# Run all hook tests
node .claude/hooks/test-runner.js

# Test individual hook
node .claude/hooks/test-runner.js session-start-load-memory

# Validate hook configuration
/hook-setup

Recovery Patterns

  1. Retry with backoff: Transient failures
  2. Circuit breaker: Repeated failures
  3. Fallback values: Missing data
  4. Skip and continue: Non-critical hooks
  5. Alert and disable: Critical failures

Advanced Features

Model Routing

Dynamic model selection based on task requirements:

{
  "task": "complex-architecture",
  "model": "claude-opus-4",
  "fallback": "gpt-4o"
}

Performance Monitoring

  • Execution timing
  • Memory usage
  • Token consumption
