How it fires

How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition β†’
  • You can call itInvoke it directly when you want it.

Hook Integration

Claims are checked automatically via hooks:

{

    "matcher": "^mcp__claude-flow__.*$",
    "hooks": [{
      "type": "command",
      "command": "npx claude-flow@v3alpha claims check --agent $AGENT_ID --tool $TOOL_NAME --auto-deny"
    }]
  }],

    "hooks": [{
      "type": "command",
      "command": "npx claude-flow@v3alpha claims evaluate --request '$PERMISSION_REQUEST'"
    }]
  }]
}

Audit Logging

All authorization decisions are logged:

# Store authorization decision
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage --action="store" \
  --namespace="audit" \
  --key="auth:$(date +%s)" \
  --value='{"agent":"agent-123","resource":"memory:patterns","action":"write","decision":"allow","reason":"has scope:write claim"}'
