Does flow-next-plan write source code?

No, this skill focuses exclusively on the planning and design phase. It generates epics, specs, and tasks but does not modify your application's source code.

What is flowctl and do I need to install it?

flowctl is a utility bundled with the plugin used for task tracking. You do not need to install it globally; the skill calls it directly from the plugin root.

Can I use external tools for the review process?

Yes, the skill supports multiple review modes, including an export option that allows you to review the generated plans using external LLMs like ChatGPT or the Claude web interface.

How do I trigger a new planning session?

You can start planning by using the /flow-next:plan command followed by a natural language description of the feature or a specific Flow ID.

Where are the planning files stored?

All plans are stored in the .flow/ directory in your repository, categorized into epics, specs, and tasks using JSON and Markdown formats.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Generates structured build plans, epics, and granular tasks from natural language feature requests using repository-aware logic.

The Flow-Next Plan skill transforms high-level feature requests or bug descriptions into actionable development roadmaps. By acting as a product-minded planner, it creates structured epics and tasks within the .flow/ directory, ensuring all work items are appropriately sized for single-iteration execution. It utilizes deep repository awareness through configurable research backends like RepoPrompt and integrates multi-mode review cycles to prevent implementation drift and ensure high-quality technical designs before coding begins.
