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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.04429 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.02214 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00886 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00443 |
Grade A, and why
flow-next-pilot 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/flow-next:pilot — single-tick autonomous build-loop conductor
A tick is one invocation of /flow-next:pilot: select one ready spec, classify its current stage (plan, plan-review, work, the opt-in qa, make-pr), dispatch exactly one existing stage skill (with pipeline.chainStages on, make-pr after a fresh qa verdict is the only admissible second dispatch in the same tick), verify state advanced, and end with one terminal PILOT_VERDICT line. It is intentionally not a runner; /loop in Claude Code or /goal in Claude Code / Codex owns repeated invocation.
Pilot and Ralph are alternative autonomous drivers. Ralph is an external shell loop with receipt plumbing; pilot is an in-session conductor for host loop primitives. Never nest them, and never reuse Ralph harness state inside pilot.
Human judgment lives before pilot: the spec content, depends_on_epics, and the fn-58 ready gate are the consent boundary. Pilot executes the mechanical pipeline one stage at a time, with ambiguity reported as NEEDS_HUMAN.
Chart is outside the build loop (fn-135)
Chart is optional pre-capture discovery - never a pilot pipeline stage. Pilot never advances a chart tick. Optional unattended chart driving (host /loop on /flow-next:chart) stops terminally at attended decisions (CHART_VERDICT=NEEDS_HUMAN) - pilot does not absorb or continue that work. Capture, interview, and chart stay human-gated upstream of the ready consent boundary.
Preamble
CRITICAL: flowctl is BUNDLED — NOT installed globally. which flowctl will fail (expected). Define once; subsequent blocks (here and in workflow.md) use $FLOWCTL. Subagents that run in fresh context fall back to the repo-local copy:
FLOWCTL="${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"
What ships with it
4 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.
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-pilot is a skill published in the GitHub repository gmickel/flow-next (691 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 4,429 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
project-execution
Executes implementation plans with progress tracking, checkpoint validation, and quality gates. Use after planning is complete and tasks are ready to implement.
pr
Comprehensive PR/issue review - analyzes architecture, tests, identifies unrelated changes mixed in, drafts review comment or issue comment. Use when user asks to review a PR, check a PR, look at PR changes, or comment on an issue.
backlog
Read, work, and maintain a Git repo's deferred-work items in docs/backlog/, one file per item. Use when the user says "backlog", "check backlog", "what's on my backlog", "work the backlog", "address the backlog", "add to backlog", "clean up backlog", or when a review or task produced items that are real but not being…
ask-codex
Consult OpenAI Codex for investigation, debugging, or code review. Use when user explicitly asks to "ask codex", "check with codex", "codex review", or as a last resort when stuck after 4+ failed attempts at debugging, investigation, or bug fix and completely out of ideas. Codex is slow (2-5 min), so only escalate…
clarify
This skill should be used when user appears confused, frustrated, or shows misalignment between expectations and reality. Triggers on phrases like "I don't understand", "this doesn't make sense", "confused", "wait, shouldn't it...", "why is this happening", "I thought X did Y", contradictory statements, or frustration…
writing-style
Use for technical communication - GitHub/GitLab tickets, PR/MR descriptions, issue comments, code review comments, commit messages. Direct, brief style with no AI-speak. NOT for README.md, public docs, or blog posts.
