Flow Composer

Overview

The Flow Composer is the brain of SoloFounder. It takes any request — building software, planning marketing, reviewing contracts, designing operations — and produces a flow definition: the sequence of stages, what each stage does, which capabilities it uses, and what deliverable it produces.

Core principle: Nothing is hardcoded. The flow is designed fresh for each request based on what the request actually needs.

When to Use

Always. Every user request goes through the Flow Composer. Do not skip directly to implementation, design, or any other activity.
