This streams real-time swarm events using the Monitor tool instead of making you poll status endpoints in a loop. You get NDJSON events for agent spawns, task completions, memory writes, and health checks piped directly to you as they happen. It's built around `npx @claude-flow/cli@latest swarm watch --stream`, with fallback MCP tools for one-shot status checks when you just need a snapshot. The approach makes sense if you're debugging distributed agent behavior or need live observability without hammering the API. There's an ADR backing the design decision, which suggests someone learned this lesson the hard way.
