Flux Setup (Optional)

Install fluxctl locally and add instructions to project docs. Fully optional - Flux works without this local setup, but this is the preferred path for Codex-first repos.

Session Phase Tracking

On entry, set the session phase:

PLUGIN_ROOT="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}}"
[ ! -d "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts" ] && PLUGIN_ROOT=$(ls -td ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nairon-flux/flux/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)
FLUXCTL="${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/fluxctl"
$FLUXCTL session-phase set setup

On completion, reset:

$FLUXCTL session-phase set idle

Benefits

• fluxctl accessible from command line (add .flux/bin to PATH)
• Codex reads AGENTS.md, and Flux can keep a legacy CLAUDE.md mirror when needed
• Works without any Claude-specific install path
• Optional recommended MCP servers (user chooses which to install, all free):
  • Context7 — no more hallucinated APIs, up-to-date library docs in every prompt
  • Exa — fastest AI web search, real-time research without leaving your session
  • GitHub — PRs, issues, actions directly from the agent, no context switching
• Optional additional MCP:
  • Firecrawl — scrape websites and parse PDFs into LLM-ready markdown
• Optional recommended CLI tools:
  • PlaTo — secure skill installer for Codex/Claude repos; Flux uses it for supported project-local skill installs
  • jq — JSON parsing for scripts and API output
  • fzf — fuzzy finder for terminal workflows
  • Lefthook — fast pre-commit hooks
  • Agent Browser — checklist-driven browser QA with snapshots and screenshots
  • Expect — diff-driven browser QA, AI generates test plans from git changes
  • React Doctor — React code health scan with an opt-in pre-commit gate for changed files
  • CLI Continues — resume/switch session context across agent CLIs
• Optional recommended desktop apps (OS-aware prompts in setup):
  • Superset — primary orchestrator for parallel Codex sessions and cross-lab review worktrees
  • CodexBar — menu bar visibility into Codex and Claude Code subscription usage/reset windows
  • Raycast — launcher/snippets/clipboard productivity layer
  • Wispr Flow — voice-to-text acceleration (macOS)
  • Granola — AI meeting notes companion (macOS/Windows)
• Optional additional agent skill:
  • UI Skills — accessibility/motion/metadata/design polish for frontend output
  • Dejank — React visual-jank detection and diagnosis (18 anti-patterns + runtime workflows)
  • Taste Skill — anti-generic design taste layer for better UI generation
  • Semver Changelog — automated semantic changelog/release-note hygiene
  • Diffity Tour — interactive browser-based walkthroughs for understanding unfamiliar codepaths and features, with optional diffity CLI install during setup so tours work immediately
  • Find Skills (Vercel) — secure bootstrap for Vercel's skill catalog via PlaTo
  • X Research Skill — structured X/Twitter research and summarization
• Optional task tracker integration:
  • Linear — installs the Linear CLI skill through PlaTo so the agent can manage issues and projects directly. Team gets visibility without touching the CLI.
• Optional auto-fix (cloud PR babysitting):
  • Claude Auto-Fix — after Flux submits a PR, Claude can watch it remotely in the cloud, automatically fixing CI failures and addressing review comments. This remains an optional secondary workflow and requires the Claude GitHub App.
• Smart conflict detection — detects existing similar tools and asks how to handle (keep, switch, both)

Workflow

CRITICAL: Read the ENTIRE workflow.md before starting execution. The workflow is ~2000 lines across 10+ steps. The most common failure is reading the first few steps, starting execution, and never reaching the configuration questions (Step 6), business context (Step 5b), or docs block update.

A step completion checklist and verification gate at the end of workflow.md will catch skipped steps — but prevention is better than detection. Read it all first.

Notes

• Fully optional - standard plugin usage works without local setup
• Copies scripts (not symlinks) for portability across environments
• Safe to re-run - will detect existing setup and offer to update
• All MCPs and project state install project-local (.mcp.json, .flux/, .flux/brain/). Supported skill installs now go into PlaTo's .secureskills/ store, with loose .codex/skills/ / .claude/skills/ folders retained only as compatibility fallbacks when needed
• React-only tools and skills should only be offered when the repo actually uses React or a React-based framework
• After setup + restart, run /flux:prime first before feature work
• After implementation/review, run /flux:reflect at session end

Gotchas

• Setup is project-local by design. Never "helpfully" spill config into global agent settings to make one repo work.
• Re-runs should refresh or reconcile existing tools, not duplicate them or clobber user choices without confirmation.
• Installing optional MCPs, skills, or desktop tools can require restart boundaries. Tell the user when a restart is actually needed.

Update Check (End of Command)

ALWAYS run at the very end of /flux:setup execution:

PLUGIN_ROOT="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}}"
[ ! -d "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts" ] && PLUGIN_ROOT=$(ls -td ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nairon-flux/flux/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)
UPDATE_JSON=$("$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/version-check.sh" 2>/dev/null || echo '{"update_available":false}')
UPDATE_AVAILABLE=$(echo "$UPDATE_JSON" | jq -r '.update_available')
LOCAL_VER=$(echo "$UPDATE_JSON" | jq -r '.local_version')
REMOTE_VER=$(echo "$UPDATE_JSON" | jq -r '.remote_version')
UPDATE_CMD=$(echo "$UPDATE_JSON" | jq -r '.update_command // "Update Flux from the same source you installed it from, then restart your agent session."')

If update available, append to output:

---
Flux update available: v${LOCAL_VER} → v${REMOTE_VER}
${UPDATE_CMD}
