The Developer's Guide to Autonomous Coding Agents: Orchestrating Claude Code, Ruflo, and Deer-Flow

A comprehensive 2500-word guide on the new wave of terminal-based autonomous coding agents. Focus specifically on Anthropics' new 'Claude Code', 'Ruflo' (agent swarms), and Bytedance's 'Deer-Flow'. **Core Sections:** 1. **The Shift to Agentic CLI:** Why coding is moving from IDE completion to terminal autonomy. 2. **Tool Comparison:** Deep dive into Claude Code vs. Ruflo vs. Deer-Flow architecture. 3. **Orchestration Patterns:** How to chain these agents effectively without getting into infinite loops. 4. **Security & Human-in-the-Loop:** Safety protocols when giving agents shell access. **SERP Gap:** Most current articles cover these tools individually as news. No one has provided a unified architectural guide on *orchestrating* them together for complex workflows.
