Flow Next Work

About

Flow Next Work is a high-fidelity execution engine for Claude Code designed to transform epics and tasks into production-ready code with absolute plan fidelity. By leveraging a dedicated .flow/ tracking system and the bundled flowctl utility, it ensures every task is completed, tested, and reviewed before being committed. It features specialized 'Ralph Mode' for autonomous background coding and integrates multi-model review gates via Codex and RepoPrompt to prevent context drift and ensure high-quality implementations in complex codebases.

Key Features

• Enforced test-driven workflows that require passing checks before task completion and shipping.
• 356 GitHub stars
• Systematic task tracking using the state-persistent .flow/ directory and flowctl utility.
• Ralph Mode support for reliable, autonomous background execution with fresh context re-anchoring.
• Automated Git management with support for branches, current workspace, or isolated worktrees.
• Integrated quality gates for multi-model reviews using Codex CLI and RepoPrompt backends.

Use Cases

• Executing complex multi-step features from a markdown specification or technical design document.
• Running autonomous 'overnight' coding sessions using Ralph Mode to process epics without manual oversight.
• Managing large-scale refactors where maintaining plan fidelity and task state is critical across many files.
