What Flow Next Capture does

Flow Next Capture turns recent conversation context into a flow-next spec file under `.flow/specs/` using `flowctl spec create` and `spec set-plan`. It is used when a discussion needs to be locked into a source-tagged spec before the context is lost.

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

README

Excerpt

/flow-next:capture — agent-native conversation → spec

A free-form discussion (or a /flow-next:prospect survivor) frequently produces enough material for a complete spec, but stops short of the formal flowctl spec create + spec set-plan heredoc documented in CLAUDE.md. Without an explicit synthesis step, that context decays — the next session loses the conversation, the spec never lands, and the user re-explains the same idea to /flow-next:plan.

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