Flow Next QA

What it does

When your agent uses it

• /flow-next:qa with a spec id
• Tasks that involve Text to speech and voice

Example prompts

• “/flow-next-qa”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): AskUserQuestion, 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:

  • AskUserQuestion
  • 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 (its code samples are bash).

  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 QA loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 156 tokens; SKILL.md has 391 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~156

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~4.2k

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.

Safety

  allowed-tools: AskUserQuestion, Read, Bash, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Task

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-qa

description

Live-app real-user QA pass derived from the spec. Drives the running app via flow-next-drive, derives scenarios from the spec's AC / R-IDs / boundaries, files structured P0/P1/P2 findings with evidence, and ends with a YES/NO ship verdict receipt. Consumes `.flow/features/` navigation when present. Triggers on /flow-next:qa with a spec id. Runs user-invoked OR as the optional `pipeline.qa` stage of `flow --auto` (default off). Augments — never replaces — CI/staging/manual QA. FORBIDDEN from marking PASS by reading source — the verdict rests on captured evidence from the live app, never on agent narration.
