Stream-Chain Skill

Execute sophisticated multi-step workflows where each agent's output flows into the next, enabling complex data transformations and sequential processing pipelines.

Overview

Stream-Chain provides two powerful modes for orchestrating multi-agent workflows:

1. Custom Chains (run): Execute custom prompt sequences with full control
2. Predefined Pipelines (pipeline): Use battle-tested workflows for common tasks

Each step in a chain receives the complete output from the previous step, enabling sophisticated multi-agent coordination through streaming data flow.

Quick Start

Run a Custom Chain

claude-flow stream-chain run \
  "Analyze codebase structure" \
  "Identify improvement areas" \
  "Generate action plan"

Execute a Pipeline

Custom Chains (run)

Execute custom stream chains with your own prompts for maximum flexibility.

Syntax

claude-flow stream-chain run <prompt1> <prompt2> [...] [options]

Requirements:

• Minimum 2 prompts required
• Each prompt becomes a step in the chain
• Output flows sequentially through all steps

Options

Option	Description	Default
--verbose	Show detailed execution information	false
--timeout <seconds>	Timeout per step	30
--debug	Enable debug mode with full logging	false

How Context Flows

Each step receives the previous output as context:

Step 1: "Write a sorting function"
Output: [function implementation]

Step 2 receives:
  "Previous step output:
  [function implementation]

  Next task: Add comprehensive tests"

Step 3 receives:
  "Previous steps output:
  [function + tests]

  Next task: Optimize performance"

Examples

Basic Development Chain

claude-flow stream-chain run \
  "Write a user authentication function" \
  "Add input validation and error handling" \
  "Create unit tests with edge cases"
