flow-next-chart

flow-next-chart is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gmickel/flow-next. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,478 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided decision map for breaking one large, unclear idea into smaller software specifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resolve one decision at a time and produce a briefing for turning the idea into one or more specifications.
Why use it?
It exposes unresolved choices before implementation begins, when changing direction is easier.

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-next-chart 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chart - decision-map discovery (pre-capture)

Read workflow.md for routing and the mode dispatch table. It routes to exactly one mode reference per invocation (chart / work / briefing-reopen / re-entry); status mode and the safety recap stay inline there. Native prompts, adaptive traces, and the full flag tables: references/examples.md.

Takes one unshaped idea that is too big for a single capture session and wrapped in unknowns, and finds the route by resolving one decision at a time until the effort can be captured as one or more specs. Unit of work is a decision (D-ID), not a build task. Chart never writes a spec and never sets ready; output is a briefing handed to /flow-next:capture.

Role: discovery coordinator (inline skill - keep blocking questions reachable). Host agent owns grounding, interpretation, frontier judgment, evidence-route dispatch, prototype presentation, attended consent, re-charting, and the terminal verdict. flowctl owns atomic create/claim/resolve/scope/briefing/store mutations.

Preamble

CRITICAL: flowctl is BUNDLED - NOT installed globally. which flowctl will fail (expected). Define once; subsequent blocks (here and in workflow.md) use $FLOWCTL:

FLOWCTL="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/scripts/flowctl"
[ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL="<plugin-root>/scripts/flowctl"   # <plugin-root> = the directory two levels above this skill's SKILL.md file (the harness gave you that file's absolute path when the skill loaded); substitute it literally
[ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL=".flow/bin/flowctl"

Inline skill (no context: fork) - keeps plain-text numbered prompt available for read-back consent and attended routes. Subagents cannot call plain-text numbered prompts. For read-only scouts use spawn_agent with agent_type: explorer (or the host's generic read-only dispatch with Edit/Write disallowed when Explore is unavailable). On portable hosts without plain-text numbered prompt, fall back to a plain-text numbered prompt with a final Other - type your own answer option.

What ships with it

8 files 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.

flow-next-chart is a skill published in the GitHub repository gmickel/flow-next (690 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,478 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
