RUFLO and Claude Code: setup and fitness app tutorial

This tutorial covers RUFLO, an open source orchestration plugin for the Claude Code coding assistant. The presenter installs it in a terminal session on a remote server, then uses it for a Telegram fitness web app. Claude Code must already be installed; the lesson does not cover that prerequisite.

The setup adds the RUFLO marketplace, installs plugins through Discover, restarts Claude Code and checks that skills are active. The presenter then enables Swarm and Autopilot. He describes Swarm as selecting agents for the project and Autopilot as periodically checking unfinished work and resuming after interruptions. A project prompt also requests shared agent memory.

Preparation takes substantial work: the presenter develops a detailed specification through follow-up questions, generates 30 screen designs and gathers a design-system file with the project materials. He reports that Claude Code and RUFLO then built the application in 2.5 hours. The app walkthrough includes Telegram registration, workout tracking, text and voice chat, reminders and CSV or PDF export. That reported outcome is a single project example, not a general completion-time guarantee.

For server sizing, he warns that RUFLO installation may require 8 GB of RAM and reports installing it with 4 GB. Running the tools on a server does not establish that model inference runs locally or works offline.
