flow

flow is a skill for Claude Code from panayiotism/claude-harness. It costs 67 tokens per session (3,487 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that manages the development lifecycle for a feature or bug, from context and planning through implementation, verification, review, and merging. It can also process several planned features or stop after planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create issues and acceptance criteria, delegate implementation, run checks, save progress, open pull requests, merge changes, or make an implementation-only plan.
Why use it?
It brings the repeated steps of development into one workflow and keeps implementation work isolated while it is being done.

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 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 7d 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.

Flow - Unified Development Workflow

The single command for all development workflows. Handles the entire feature lifecycle from creation to merge.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Session ID: ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} — session state lives in .claude-harness/sessions/${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}/.

Overview

All workflows run through this single entry point with flags:

/claude-harness:flow "Add dark mode support"           # Standard workflow
/claude-harness:flow --autonomous                      # Batch process all features
/claude-harness:flow --plan-only "Big refactor"        # Plan only, implement later
/claude-harness:flow --team "Add user login"           # ATDD with Agent Team (3 teammates)

Lifecycle: Context -> Creation -> [Subagent Delegation] -> Planning -> Implementation -> Verification -> Checkpoint -> Merge -> [Result Processing]

Context Isolation: In standard mode, Phases 3-6 run inside an isolated subagent (via the Agent tool, subagent type claude-harness:harness-implementer). The main context stays clean after feature completion -- no /clear needed between features.

ATDD Team Lifecycle (with --team): Context -> Creation (with Gherkin criteria) -> [Subagent Delegation] -> Planning -> Team Spawn -> Acceptance Tests (RED) -> Implementation (GREEN) -> Review -> Verify -> Checkpoint -> Merge


Retry Policy

Each delegated subagent gets at most 4 implementation attempts. If it escalates, the orchestrator spawns a fresh subagent (clean context) seeded with the failure summary from the previous delegation -- up to 3 delegations per feature (12 attempts total). A fresh context with distilled failure knowledge outperforms a degraded context grinding through attempt 15.


Phase 0.1: Argument Parsing

  1. Parse arguments:
    • Empty: Show interactive menu for feature selection
    • Matches feature-\d+: Resume existing feature
    • Matches fix-feature-\d+-\d+: Resume existing fix
    • --fix <feature-id> "description": Create fix linked to feature
    • Otherwise: Create new feature from description

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.
