iflow

An automatic guide for moving a software issue through defined steps, such as starting, planning, building, and closing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose and run the next step in an issue workflow, while passing along any extra instructions.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember which issue-flow command should come next based on the issue's current state.

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

iflow 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 — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

issue-flow — iflow smart dispatcher (/iflow)

Follow this skill to run the right next step in the issue-flow lifecycle: it detects state and routes to /iflow-init, /iflow-plan, /iflow-build, or /iflow-close, forwarding trailing args verbatim.

Do not use this skill for /iflow-pick, /iflow-pause, /iflow-cleanup, /iflow-yolo, /iflow-fix, /iflow-issue, /iflow-split, /iflow-review, or other off-path helpers. Those are explicit-only commands. (/iflow-pick is the front door before /iflow-init, for when no issue has been chosen yet. /iflow-fix runs an interactive iterative-fixes session, driven by /iflow-fix + /iflow-close. /iflow-issue creates one well-specified normal GitHub issue. /iflow-split cuts an over-large issue into linked sub-issues.)

Invoke: type iflow in chat, or /iflow from the slash menu.

MODEL & EXECUTION DIRECTIVE

Profile: economy — Prioritize speed and token economy over deep reasoning.

In Cursor: use Auto or a fast model before invoking this step.

Keep scope tight to what this step requires.

Resolve project root (multi-root workspaces)

Before any git, gh, or .issueflows/ path operation in this workflow:

Resolution order (stop when unambiguous):

  1. Explicit hints in slash input — root:<path>, repo:<folder-basename> (directory name, e.g. cellpy-core), or repo:owner/name.
  2. CLI fast pathissue-flow agent resolve [-C <start>] [--from-file <active-file>] [--json]. Use the returned project_root and repo; pass -C <project_root> to other issue-flow agent … subcommands. When the answer came from the workspace registry, the payload sets resolved_via_workspace_default: true.
  3. Branch context — exactly one workspace repo whose branch matches ^\d+- → that root.
  4. Single scaffold — exactly one .issueflows/ tree visible in the workspace → that root.
  5. Workspace default — an issueflow-workspace.toml at the workspace root (created with issue-flow workspace init) may name a default member repo; use it when no scaffold matched above. Tell the user the default was used.
  6. Ambiguousstop and ask; never guess between sibling repos.

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.

iflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository jepegit/issue-flow (4 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 2,184 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 2026-08-31.
