Skills are the building blocks of the FLOW workflow. Some are tied to a specific phase and invoked automatically as part of that phase. Others are utility skills available at any point.
All skills announce themselves clearly when they start and finish.
These skills correspond directly to a workflow phase. Each one starts and ends with a banner so you always know where you are.
| Skill | Phase | Description |
|---|---|---|
/flow-start |
1 — Start | Create the worktree, upgrade dependencies, open the PR |
/flow-plan |
2 — Plan | Explore codebase, design approach, produce ordered tasks via plan mode |
/flow-code |
3 — Code | TDD task by task, diff review, bin/flow ci gate before each commit |
/flow-code-review |
4 — Code Review | Four steps — clarity, correctness, safety, and parallel agent reviews (context-isolated code review, pre-mortem, adversarial testing) |
/flow-learn |
5 — Learn | Extract learnings, update CLAUDE.md, note plugin gaps |
/flow-complete |
6 — Complete | Merge PR, remove worktree, delete state file — final phase |
These skills are available at any point in the workflow, regardless of phase.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
/flow-prime |
One-time setup — configure and commit permissions, framework conventions, and git excludes |
/flow-commit |
Review the full diff, approve or deny, then git add + commit + push |
/flow-status |
Show current phase, PR link, phase checklist, and what comes next |
/flow-continue |
Resume current feature — re-asks last transition question or rebuilds from state |
/flow-note |
Capture a correction or learning — invoked automatically on corrections |
/flow-abort |
Abandon the current feature — close PR, delete branch, remove worktree |
/flow-reset |
Remove all FLOW artifacts — close PRs, delete worktrees/branches/state files/lock entries |
/flow-config |
Display current configuration — version, framework, per-skill autonomy |
/flow-doc-sync |
Full codebase documentation accuracy review — reports drift between code and docs |
/flow-issues |
Fetch open issues, categorize, prioritize, and display a dashboard with recommended work order. Supports readiness filters (--ready, --blocked, --decomposed, --quick-start) |
/flow-create-issue |
Capture a brainstormed solution as a pre-planned issue with an Implementation Plan for fast-tracking through Plan |
/flow-decompose-project |
Decompose a large project into linked GitHub issues with sub-issue relationships, blocked-by dependencies, and milestones |
/flow-orchestrate |
Process decomposed issues sequentially overnight via flow-start –auto |
