doc-flow

doc-flow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vladm3105/aidoc-flow-framework. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,299 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for specification-driven development, a way to plan software through linked documents before writing code. It identifies the current planning stage and recommends the next workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Routing work through business requirements, product requirements, formal requirements, test scenarios, architecture decisions, specifications, test-driven development, and implementation plans.
Why use it?
It helps when a project has many planning documents and you are unsure which one to create or update next.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

doc-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 today.

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.

doc-flow

Purpose

Route the Specification-Driven Development (SDD) workflow: point at the right skill for the task, report current position, enforce the upstream-artifact policy. doc-flow never creates artifacts itself — the artifact skills do.

Layer: cross-cutting (no upstream; routes into all 8 layers). Authoritative spec: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/framework/SPEC_DRIVEN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md.

When to Use

Situation Action
Unsure which skill applies Use doc-flow (this)
Brand-new project ../project-init/SKILL.md first, then doc-flow
Adopting SDD into existing code ../project-adopt/SKILL.md first
Editing a published artifact ../doc-chg/SKILL.md — not the linear flow
Single-layer end-to-end generation that layer's -autopilot

The 8-layer flow

BRD (1) → PRD (2) → EARS (3) → BDD (4) → ADR (5) → SPEC (6) → TDD (7) → IPLAN (8) → Code
Layer Artifact Purpose Base skill
1 BRD Business requirements doc-brd
2 PRD Product requirements & KPIs doc-prd
3 EARS Formal WHEN-THE-SHALL requirements doc-ears
4 BDD Gherkin test scenarios doc-bdd
5 ADR Architecture decisions doc-adr
6 SPEC Technical specifications doc-spec
7 TDD Test-case definitions & thresholds doc-tdd
8 IPLAN Executable implementation plan doc-iplan

Each layer ships four skills: base (create), -autopilot (end-to-end), -audit (gate report), -fixer (apply audit fixes).

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.
