flow

flow is a command for Claude Code from gmickel/flow-next. It costs 86 tokens per session (385 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that sends an idea or coding task to an attended workflow coordinator. It can route requests such as bugs, questions, slow behaviour, cleanup, and design choices to the relevant development stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a structured workflow from a task description, issue, branch, path, or question; an explanation option shows the route without changing task files.
Why use it?
It gives developers one entry point instead of requiring them to know which workflow command to choose. The coordinator pauses when a decision needs a person.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

flow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

IMPORTANT: This command MUST invoke the skill flow-next-flow

The ONLY purpose of this command is to call the flow-next-flow skill. You MUST use that skill now.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Pass the arguments to the skill verbatim. The skill routes from its shared routing reference, dispatches the existing stage skills, re-evaluates after each hop, and stops at the next human decision. --explain prints the route and its reason with no .flow/ write and no dispatch. --auto runs the same route unattended from the ready flag, hop after hop to a terminal (--tick for exactly one hop), and ends with one PILOT_VERDICT line. --until=merge independently selects gated landing through the existing land stage for the selected spec and PR. Default unattended flow stops before merge; plain attended flow offers landing for an existing PR and asks once unless current scoped authorization already exists. The skill's tail reference owns consent, continuation, and recovery.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
