Manage .flow/ tasks and specs. Triggers: 'show me my tasks', 'list specs', 'what tasks are there', 'add a task', 'create task', 'what's ready', 'task status', 'show fn-1-add-oauth'. NOT for /flow-next:plan or /flow-next:work.
Audit `.flow/memory/` entries against the current codebase and decide Keep / Update / Consolidate / Replace / Delete / Harden per entry. Triggers on /flow-next:audit, "audit memory", "review memory", "refresh learnings", "sweep stale memory", "consolidate overlapping memory entries", "graduate a recurring lesson into a gate". Optional `mode:autofix` token in arguments runs without questions and marks ambiguous as stale (Harden is never auto-applied). Optional scope hint after the mode token (concept, category, module, or path) narrows what gets audited.
Synthesize the current conversation context into a flow-next spec at `.flow/specs/<spec-id>.md` via `flowctl spec create + spec set-plan` — agent-native, source-tagged, with mandatory read-back before write. Triggers on /flow-next:capture, "capture spec", "lock down what we discussed", "make a spec from this conversation", "convert conversation to spec". Optional `mode:autofix` token runs without questions and requires `--yes` to commit. Optional `--rewrite <spec-id>` overwrites an existing spec; `--from-compacted-ok` overrides the incomplete-evidence refusal after compaction; `--override-strategy` proceeds despite a contradiction with an active STRATEGY.md track (and prompts to record the override as a decision); `--no-plan` sets the spec-level `no_plan` field after the write (explicit opt-in — never inferred).
Decision-map discovery for one oversized/unclear idea before capture. Triggers on /flow-next:chart with an unshaped idea, chart id, decision pin, --status, or stored tracker URL. Prompt-first adaptive loop - ground, chart a frontier, resolve one D-ID per invocation, brief for capture.
Show spec dependency graph and execution order. Use when asking 'what's blocking what', 'execution order', 'dependency graph', 'what order should specs run', 'critical path', 'which specs can run in parallel'.
Drive any UI surface like a real user - a web app, a Chromium-backed desktop app (Electron / WebView2, reached over CDP), or a genuinely native app (macOS AppKit/SwiftUI, or a non-CDP webview) reached via the Cua Driver / Computer Use. Detects the surface, picks the best available driver, degrades gracefully. Use to navigate sites, verify deployed UI, test web or desktop apps, capture baseline screenshots, drive a sign-in flow, scrape data, fill forms, run an e2e check, or inspect current page state. Triggers on "check the page", "verify UI", "test the site", "test this app", "drive the app", "automate this desktop app", "read docs at", "look up API", "visit URL", "browse", "screenshot", "scrape", "e2e test", "login flow", "capture baseline", "see how it looks", "inspect current", "before redesign", "Electron app", "native app".
[deprecated alias] Renamed to flow-next-spec-completion-review in flow-next 1.0 — invoke the new skill. Removed in 2.0.
Export RepoPrompt context to a markdown file for review with an external LLM (ChatGPT, Claude web, etc.). Use when you want Carmack-level review but prefer an external model. Triggers on "export context", "export for external review", "export plan for ChatGPT", "export impl review context", "review with an external model", "export review context".
Seed or maintain the committed user-POV feature map at `.flow/features/` so QA and drive reuse how a user reaches each feature. Two state-resolved modes: no `.flow/features/` (or explicit init intent) seeds it; a present map maintains it. Triggers on /flow-next:features, "seed the feature map", "maintain the feature map", "feature map", "init features". Never dispatched by pilot, land, Ralph, or any autonomous driver.
Prompt-first router that recommends the smallest sufficient flow-next workflow. Use when unsure which command to run next, which pre-build stage applies, or whether to skip chart/interview/plan. Triggers on /flow-next:guide with a free-form situation description.
John Carmack-level implementation review via RepoPrompt or Codex. Use when reviewing code changes, PRs, or implementations. Triggers on /flow-next:impl-review.
Interview user in-depth about a spec, task, or spec file to extract complete implementation details. Use when user wants to flesh out a spec, refine requirements, or clarify a feature before building. Triggers on /flow-next:interview with Flow IDs (fn-1-add-oauth, fn-1-add-oauth.2, or legacy fn-1, fn-1.2, fn-1-xxx, fn-1-xxx.2) or file paths.
Cadence-tick autonomous babysitter for build-loop-authored PRs (/loop-shaped ship loop). Each invocation is one tick over all open PRs the build loop authored — keep CI green (bounded fix budget), wait out the reviewer patience window, resolve feedback via resolve-pr, and once converged merge + close the spec + follow the project's release instructions. Ends with a terminal LAND_VERDICT line for the driver to read. Triggers on /flow-next:land, optionally with --dry-run. Autonomous by design — never asks the user questions; reports NEEDS_HUMAN instead.
Render a cognitive-aid PR body from flow-next state and open via gh. Triggers on /flow-next:make-pr with optional spec id and flags (--draft, --ready, --no-mermaid, --base <ref>, --memory, --dry-run). Auto-detects spec from current branch when no id given. NOT Ralph-blocked — autonomous loops can surface a draft PR for human review.
Wrap `clawpatch map` to produce a semantic feature index of the repo (~20 languages, persisted at `.clawpatch/features/*.json`). Detects install, runs `clawpatch init` when `.clawpatch/` absent, invokes provider-free `clawpatch map --source heuristic` by default; `--source auto|agent` flows through as passthrough. Opt-in enrichment — scouts and prime read the resulting index, but flowctl never depends on clawpatch.
Migrate pre-fn-30 legacy flat memory files (`.flow/memory/pitfalls.md`, `conventions.md`, `decisions.md`) into the categorized YAML schema. Triggers on /flow-next:memory-migrate, "migrate memory", "convert legacy memory", "lift pitfalls into categorized schema", "convert old memory format". Optional `mode:autofix` token in arguments runs without questions and accepts mechanical defaults for ambiguous classifications. Optional scope hint after the mode token narrows the migration to a specific legacy file (e.g. `pitfalls.md`).
Single-tick autonomous build-loop conductor for host drivers (/loop, /goal). Each invocation advances exactly ONE ready spec by ONE pipeline stage (plan, plan-review, work, qa [opt-in, gated on pipeline.qa==on], make-pr) and ends with a terminal PILOT_VERDICT line for the driver to read. Triggers on /flow-next:pilot, optionally with --spec <id>, --dry-run, --review=<backend>, --research=<grep|rp>, --depth=<level>. Autonomous by design — never asks the user questions; reports NEEDS_HUMAN instead.
Create structured build plans from feature requests or Flow IDs. Use when planning features or designing implementation. Triggers on /flow-next:plan with text descriptions or Flow IDs (fn-1-add-oauth, fn-1-add-oauth.2, or legacy fn-1, fn-1.2, fn-1-xxx, fn-1-xxx.2).
Carmack-level plan review via RepoPrompt or Codex. Use when reviewing Flow specs or design docs. Triggers on /flow-next:plan-review.
Comprehensive codebase assessment for agent and production readiness. Classifies the project (lifecycle, topology, size, stack, shape), scans 8 pillars, verifies commands actually run, checks GitHub settings. Leads with a verdict + ranked next-actions; fixes agent readiness only. Triggers on /flow-next:prime.
Use while drafting any substantial reply, report, review walkthrough, or summary for the user - read the artifact prose contract before writing, not after, and draft under its rules. Do not use for short conversational turns, tool-call narration, the visual digest, or output that lands in a file, PR, or tracker (those artifact surfaces carry their own pointers). Also invocable directly as /flow-next:prose [draft].
Generate ranked candidate ideas grounded in the repo, upstream of /flow-next:plan. Triggers on /flow-next:prospect with an optional focus hint (concept, path, constraint, or volume).
Live-app real-user QA pass derived from the spec. Drives the running app via flow-next-drive, derives scenarios from the spec's AC / R-IDs / boundaries, files structured P0/P1/P2 findings with evidence, and ends with a YES/NO ship verdict receipt. Consumes `.flow/features/` navigation when present. Triggers on /flow-next:qa with a spec id. Runs user-invoked OR as the optional `pipeline.qa` pilot stage (default off). Augments — never replaces — CI/staging/manual QA. FORBIDDEN from marking PASS by reading source — the verdict rests on captured evidence from the live app, never on agent narration.
Scaffold repo-local Ralph autonomous harness under scripts/ralph/. Use when user runs /flow-next:ralph-init.
