flow-analysis

flow-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from ANcpLua/ancplua-claude-plugins. It costs 152 tokens per session (5,213 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnostic guide for VMR codeflow, the process that moves code changes between related .NET repositories. It uses scripts and connected tools to inspect pull requests, builds, subscriptions, and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate one codeflow pull request, check whether a fix has passed through the VMR pipeline, or review flow health across a repository.
Why use it?
It helps explain why a code change has not reached another repository, why a pull request is stale, or why an automated backflow pull request is missing or blocked.

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-analysis 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/Get-CodeflowStatus.ps1, scripts/Get-FlowHealth.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 322 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Flow Analysis

Analyze VMR codeflow PR health using scripts for data collection and MCP tools for enrichment and remediation. For single-PR analysis, Get-CodeflowStatus.ps1 does comprehensive data collection (VMR commit comparison, forward flow discovery, staleness detection); maestro MCP tools provide subscription triggering and build freshness. For repo-wide flow health, flow-health.cs handles batch GitHub scanning in parallel.

🚨 NEVER use gh pr review --approve or --request-changes. Only --comment is allowed.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • A codeflow PR (from dotnet-maestro[bot]) is stale or failing and you need to understand why
  • You need to check if a specific fix has flowed through the VMR pipeline
  • A PR has a Maestro staleness warning or conflict
  • You want to check overall flow health for a repo ("what's the flow status for the sdk?")
  • You need to diagnose why backflow PRs are missing or blocked
  • You're asked "is this codeflow PR up to date", "why is the codeflow blocked", "what's the flow status for net11"

Prerequisites

  • Maestro MCP server — provides subscription health, build freshness, and codeflow management. See lewing/maestro.mcp for setup.
  • GitHub CLI (gh) — must be installed and authenticated. Required by flow-health.cs.

Quick Start

For "is the backflow healthy for repo X on branch Y?" — use PR Analysis (Get-CodeflowStatus.ps1 -Repository -Branch). The script finds the open backflow PR (if any), compares VMR commits, discovers forward flow, and extracts warnings — all in one call.

For "what's the flow status across all repos?" or multi-repo/multi-branch scanning — use the Codeflow Overview (MCP tools for subscription health + build freshness across many repos simultaneously).

For investigating a specific PR — use PR Analysis (Get-CodeflowStatus.ps1 -PRNumber). If no open PR exists, the script reports this; use MCP tools to check the subscription state.

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.
