Overview

This SOP provides a systematic workflow for training and deploying neural networks using Flow Nexus platform with distributed E2B sandboxes. It covers architecture selection, distributed training, validation, and production deployment.

Prerequisites

Required:

• Flow Nexus MCP server installed
• Basic understanding of neural network architectures
• Authentication credentials (if using cloud features)

Optional:

• E2B account for cloud sandboxes
• GPU resources for training
• Pre-trained model weights

Verification:

# Check Flow Nexus availability
npx flow-nexus@latest --version

# Verify MCP connection
claude mcp list | grep flow-nexus

Phase 1: Setup Flow Nexus

Objective: Authenticate with Flow Nexus platform and initialize neural training environment

Evidence-Based Validation:

• Authentication token obtained and verified
• MCP tools responding correctly
• Training environment initialized

ml-developer Actions:

# Pre-task coordination hook
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks pre-task --description "Setup Flow Nexus for neural training"

# Restore session context
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks session-restore --session-id "neural-training-$(date +%s)"

flow-nexus-neural Actions:

# Check authentication status
mcp__flow-nexus__auth_status { "detailed": true }

# If not authenticated, register/login

# Post-edit hook
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks post-edit --file "neural/configs/training.json" --memory-key "neural/config"

Success Criteria:

• Flow Nexus authenticated successfully
• Neural cluster initialized
• Configuration files created
• Memory context established

Memory Persistence:

# Store phase completion
npx claude-flow@alpha memory store \
  --key "neural/phase1-complete" \
  --value "{\"status\": \"complete\", \"cluster_id\": \"[id]\", \"timestamp\": \"$(date -Iseconds)\"}"

Phase 2: Configure Neural Network
