## Commands
### Initialize Swarm
Start a new swarm with hierarchical topology

```
### Route Task
Route a task to the appropriate agents
```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "[task description]"
```
### Monitor Status
Check the current swarm status
```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli swarm status
```
## Best Practices
1. Check memory for existing patterns before starting
2. Use hierarchical topology for coordination
3. Store successful patterns after completion
4. Document any new learnings
