Use when a repository task needs a strict ControlFlow-style implementation plan before coding, especially for small, medium, or large scope, cross-file edits, risky migrations, architectural uncertainty, or any work that should produce a saved Markdown plan artifact in plans/.
Use when asked to review code, a diff, or a completed phase, especially when the result should emphasize bugs, regressions, validation status, and evidence-backed findings instead of style commentary.
Use when a task broadly matches ControlFlow for Codex and you need to decide whether to start with spec capture, strict workflow, strict planning, pre-execution plan review, orchestration, code review, or memory hygiene, or whether to combine several of those skills in sequence.
Use before planning non-trivial Codex work when the requirements, acceptance criteria, boundaries, constraints, or success measures are not yet clear enough for a safe implementation plan.
Copilot instructions for Smithbox-ai/ControlFlow, covering controlflow agent system — shared policies, continuity, build and test, path resolution and failure classification.
Claude Code instructions for Smithbox-ai/ControlFlow, covering claude.md — controlflow for claude code, plan contract anchors, when to plan, workflow (tier-gated) and semantic risk review.
Lightweight standalone ControlFlow plugin for Claude Code: high-quality plan generation in the shared ControlFlow format, inline adversarial plan verification (zero subagents), and evidence-backed review with proactive vulnerability/error search layered over the native Claude Code toolset. 3 skills, 0 subagents …
Use when a repository task needs a high-quality ControlFlow plan before coding — small, medium, or large scope, cross-file edits, risky migrations, architectural uncertainty, or any work that should produce a saved Markdown plan artifact in plans/. Single-sources the plan format from schemas/planner.plan.schema.json…
Use after /controlflow-claude-code:controlflow-plan produces a plan, before implementation. Runs adversarial pre-execution verification inline in the main context (zero subagents): structural audit, assumption/mirage detection, and executability cold-start simulation. Emits APPROVED / NEEDSREVISION / REJECTED with…
