flow-setup

A setup workflow for initializing Flow in a repository, detecting its technology stack and developer commands, and creating the project's .agents knowledge structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for setting up project knowledge files, recording detected test, lint, and type-check commands, optionally installing local Flow skills, and writing setup status.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of preparing project context and ensures the initial Flow files and links meet the required format.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-setup 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 yesterday.

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

Flow Setup

Trigger

Use for setup only.

Workflow

  1. Repository & Stack Detection: Detect language, framework, canonical commands (test, lint, typecheck), and existing Flow configuration.
  2. Scaffold Hierarchical OKF Layout: Initialize .agents/bundles/index.md (with okf_version: "0.2"). Create product/product.md, product/tech-stack.md, and knowledge/workflow.md; create knowledge/patterns/<topic>.md chapters and their directory only when repository evidence supports them.
  3. Standalone Project Skills Option: Ask whether to install a standalone, project-local Flow dependency closure into .agents/skills/. This prompt defaults to skip and installation requires explicit opt-in. Treat the standalone copy as an alternative to the global plugin, not an overlay.
  4. Validation & State Write: Verify bundle links and OKF frontmatter compliance, then write .agents/setup-state.json with setup_status: complete.

Guardrails

  • Preserve existing developer context; never overwrite custom blocks inside <!-- project-customization: start -->.
  • Use the standalone installer for copy, update, conflict, and uninstall operations; never hand-copy or delete project skills.
  • Preserve Git history and tag immutability.

Output

Return the resolved layout, generated bundle files, and planning handoff command (/flow:plan).

Validation

Confirm OKF frontmatter validity, directory link integrity, and .agents/setup-state.json configuration. For a standalone install, also confirm its contained dependency closure and exact managed-file hashes.

Example

For a new repository, run setup to detect the Python uv stack, scaffold .agents/bundles/ with hierarchical chapters, and initialize the setup state.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
