Troubleshooting Examples

Common Issues

Memory Usage Too High

# Reduce concurrency
claude-flow init --batch-init projects --max-concurrent 2

# Use minimal template
claude-flow init --batch-init projects --minimal

Slow Performance

# Enable parallel processing
claude-flow init --batch-init projects --parallel

# Use faster template
claude-flow init --batch-init projects --template cli-tool

Configuration Errors

# Validate first
claude-flow batch validate-config my-batch.json

# Use force if needed
claude-flow init --config my-batch.json --force

Debug Mode

# Verbose output for debugging
claude-flow init --batch-init projects --verbose

# Sequential mode for easier debugging
claude-flow init --batch-init projects --no-parallel

Best Practices

1. Start Small

# Test with a few projects first
claude-flow init --batch-init test1,test2 --template web-api

2. Use Configuration Files

# Better for complex setups
claude-flow batch create-config enterprise-setup.json
# Edit the file, then:
claude-flow init --config enterprise-setup.json

3. Validate Before Running

# Always validate configurations
claude-flow batch validate-config my-batch.json

# Estimate resources
claude-flow batch estimate my-batch.json

4. Monitor Performance

# Use performance monitoring
claude-flow init --config my-batch.json --verbose

# Adjust concurrency based on system
claude-flow init --config my-batch.json --max-concurrent 4

5. Environment Consistency

# Use same template across environments
claude-flow init --batch-init myapp --environments dev,staging,prod --template microservice

Advanced Examples

Custom Resource Limits

# Configure resource limits in batch config
{
  "baseOptions": {
    "maxConcurrency": 3,
    "performanceMonitoring": true,
    "resourceLimits": {
      "maxMemoryMB": 2048,
      "maxCPUPercent": 80
    }
  }
}

Conditional Project Creation

# Use project-specific configurations
{
  "projectConfigs": {
    "high-performance-api": {
      "template": "microservice",
      "environment": "prod",
      "customConfig": {
        "optimization": "aggressive",
        "caching": "redis",
        "monitoring": "detailed"
      }
    }
  }
}

Integration with CI/CD

# CI/CD pipeline integration
name: Batch Project Setup
on: workflow_dispatch
jobs:
  setup:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup projects
        run: |
          npx claude-flow@latest init --config .github/batch-config.json

Next Steps

1. Try the Examples: Run the provided configuration files
2. Create Custom Configs: Use claude-flow batch create-config --interactive
3. Scale Gradually: Start small and increase complexity
4. Monitor Performance: Use built-in monitoring features
5. Integrate with SPARC: Enable SPARC for advanced development workflows
