What Flow Interview does

Flow Interview conducts a thorough interview about a task, spec, or spec file to capture unresolved implementation details. Use it before building when requirements need refinement or clarification.

Flow Interview is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Flow Interview comes from a repository tagged agentic-workflow, ai-agent, ai-workflow, anthropic and autonomous-agent.

Documentation

README

Flow interview

Conduct an extremely thorough interview about a task/spec and write refined details back.

.flow/ is the only task tracker. A run that recorded task state in a markdown TODO, a plan file, TodoWrite, or any other tracker has broken this β€” all task state is read and written via flowctl.

Chart boundary (fn-135)

Existing-spec clarification stays primary. Interview refines a valid spec with unresolved judgment questions. Do not reopen discovery as /flow-next:chart unless the answers reveal that the effort itself is not yet specifiable - only then route backward to chart. Clear work that never needed a chart stays out of chart. Unsure of the hop: /flow-next:guide.

Preamble

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Codebase Feature Map

Codebase Feature Map wraps a feature-mapping CLI to generate and read semantic repo maps. Use it to enrich scout context, inspect detected features, and surface a map as a discoverability aid when one exists.

Flow Next Capture

Flow Next Capture turns a conversation into a flow-next spec with source tags, then asks for read-back before writing it. Use it when a discussion has enough detail to become `.flow/specs/<spec-id>.md`.
