flow.design

A command that creates design documents for a software project, including discovery, a specification, an implementation plan, tasks, and checklists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing or regenerating specifications, plans, tasks, and checklists for the current project phase.
Why use it?
It turns a project phase into a consistent set of planning documents and checks that the required project setup exists first.

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.design 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 2d 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.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Arguments

Flag Effect
(none) Full flow: discover → spec → plan → tasks → checklists
--spec Cascade from spec: spec → plan → tasks → checklists
--plan Cascade from plan: plan → tasks → checklists
--tasks Cascade from tasks: tasks → checklists
--checklist Regenerate only checklists

Note: Use specflow directly, NOT npx specflow. It's a local CLI at ~/.claude/specflow-system/bin/.

Prerequisites

Requirement Check Command If Missing
Active phase specflow phase Run specflow phase open <number>
Phase document .specify/phases/NNNN-*.md Create phase in ROADMAP.md first
Constitution .specify/memory/constitution.md Run /flow.init
Git branch git branch --show-current Should be on phase branch

Goal

Produce all design artifacts for the current phase.

Artifact Location: specs/{PHASE_NUMBER}-{phase-name}/ at project root.

  • Example: Phase 0060 "GitHub Integration" → specs/0060-github-integration/
  • NOT .specify/phases/ - that's for phase definition files only

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.

flow.design is a skill published in the GitHub repository billbuchanan-code/claude-code-power-setup (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 5,735 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
