What it does

Flow Next Make PR is an agent skill from gmickel/flow-next. Open a PR with a cognitive-aid body rendered from flow-next spec state via gh. Use whenever asked to make or open a PR in a flow-next repo.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `aid-rare-inputs.md` and `create-and-finalize.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: Faster than your agent alone. And better. A workflow plugin that takes a bug, idea or ticket to a verified pull request: specs, cross-model review by risk, live QA, receipts in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Open a PR in a flow-next repo
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/flow-next-make-pr”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Task

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 09e291e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Task

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Flow Next Make PR loads about 640 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 300 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~640

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/flow-next:make-pr

The host authors one grounded aid object; flowctl validates, stores and renders the briefing. Read workflow.md, then its reached references. No extra model call or hand-assembled sections. Invocation authorizes push and PR creation; --dry-run previews without repository writes, push, PR edits or memory writes.

Read working-rules.md first unless you already have this run; it holds for every step of this skill.

Define FLOWCTL from ${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/scripts/flowctl, then <plugin-root>/scripts/flowctl (two levels above this SKILL.md), then .flow/bin/flowctl, choosing the first executable. Never assume a global install. Parse $ARGUMENTS: the positional token is SPEC_ID; reject unknown flags and missing base values. Carry these values between prompt turns:

ArgumentVariable / effect
--draft, --ready`DRAFT_FORCE=draft
--base <ref> or --base=<ref>BASE_REF; default empty
--memoryWRITE_MEMORY=1; default 0
--dry-runDRY_RUN=1; default 0
--updateUPDATE_MODE=1; default 0; refresh an existing open PR
mode:autonomous or FLOW_AUTONOMOUS=1AUTONOMOUS=1; default 0

Ask the user via plain text. Render the options below as a numbered list 1. … N., followed by a final option N+1. Other — type your own answer. Print the question, then the numbered list, then stop and wait for the user's next message before continuing. Parse the reply as: a bare number 1–N+1 → that option; the literal text of an option label → that option; free text after Other → custom answer.

Keep this skill inline so plain-text numbered prompt remains available. Ask only for missing information, with a recommended option; use a numbered prompt if the tool is unavailable. NEED_INPUT: means ask outside Bash and rerun with the answer. Autonomous gaps hard-error instead. PRs open ready unless --draft or open items (rules in create-and-finalize); a branch without a spec takes workflow.md's no-spec path. Never merge here. Evidence, paths and requirement attribution must be grounded in the export and receipts, with unknowns explicit rather than invented.
