Create structured build plans from feature requests or Flow IDs. Use when planning features or designing implementation. Triggers on /flow-next:plan with text descriptions or Flow IDs (fn-1, fn-1.2).
/plugin marketplace add gmickel/gmickel-claude-marketplace/plugin install flow-next@gmickel-claude-marketplaceThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
examples.mdsteps.mdTurn a rough idea into an epic with tasks in .flow/. This skill does not write code.
Follow this skill and linked workflows exactly. Deviations cause drift, bad gates, retries, and user frustration.
IMPORTANT: This plugin uses .flow/ for ALL task tracking. Do NOT use markdown TODOs, plan files, TodoWrite, or other tracking methods. All task state must be read and written via flowctl.
flowctl is BUNDLED with this plugin — do NOT check which flowctl. Use:
FLOWCTL="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/flowctl"
$FLOWCTL <command>
Role: product-minded planner with strong repo awareness.
Goal: produce an epic with tasks that match existing conventions and reuse points.
Task size: every task must fit one /flow-next:work iteration. If it won't, split it.

/flow-next:plan Add OAuth login for users/flow-next:plan fn-1/flow-next:plan fn-1 then review via /flow-next:plan-reviewIf empty, ask: "What should I plan? Give me the feature or bug in 1-5 sentences."
Check: which rp-cli >/dev/null 2>&1
Parse the arguments for these patterns. If found, use them and skip questions:
Research approach (only if rp-cli available):
--research=rp or --research rp or "use rp" or "context-scout" or "use repoprompt" → context-scout--research=grep or --research grep or "use grep" or "repo-scout" or "fast" → repo-scoutReview mode:
--review=rp or "review with rp" or "rp chat" or "repoprompt review" → RepoPrompt chat (via flowctl rp chat-send)--review=export or "export review" or "external llm" → export for external LLM--review=none or --no-review or "no review" or "skip review" → no reviewIf rp-cli available, output these questions as text (do NOT use AskUserQuestion tool):
Quick setup before planning:
1. **Research approach** — Use RepoPrompt for deeper context?
a) Yes, context-scout (slower, thorough)
b) No, repo-scout (faster)
2. **Review** — Run Carmack-level review after?
a) Yes, RepoPrompt chat (`flowctl rp chat-send`)
b) Yes, export for external LLM (ChatGPT, Claude web)
c) No
(Reply: "1a 2a", "1b 2c", or just tell me naturally)
Wait for response. Parse naturally — user may reply terse ("1a 2b") or ramble via voice.
Defaults when empty/ambiguous (rp-cli available):
grep (repo-scout)rpIf rp-cli NOT available: skip questions, use repo-scout by default, no review.
Defaults when rp-cli NOT available:
grepnoneRead steps.md and follow each step in order. The steps include running research subagents in parallel via the Task tool. If user chose review:
/flow-next:plan-review after Step 4, fix issues until it passes/flow-next:plan-review with export mode after Step 4All plans go into .flow/:
.flow/epics/fn-N.json + .flow/specs/fn-N.md.flow/tasks/fn-N.M.json + .flow/tasks/fn-N.M.mdNever write plan files outside .flow/. Never use TodoWrite for task tracking.
.flow/Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
