What it does

Flow Next Setup is an agent skill from gmickel/flow-next. Optional local install of flowctl CLI and CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md instructions, plus a commented model-routing example proposed into the project instruction file. Use when user runs /flow-next:setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `references/docs-question.md`, `references/existing-spec.md` and `references/review-question.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files and Model routing and gateways. 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

  • User runs /flow-next:setup
  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files
  • Tasks that involve Model routing and gateways

Example prompts

  • “/flow-next-setup”

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 nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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 Setup loads about 255 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 100 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~255
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.7k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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 Setup (Optional)

Wire this repo to the plugin: the versioned docs snippet plus flow-next configuration. Fully optional - flow-next works without this via the plugin.

Benefits

  • Other AI agents (Codex, Cursor, etc.) can read instructions from CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md

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

Workflow

Read workflow.md and follow each step in order.

Notes

  • Fully optional - standard plugin usage works without local setup
  • Copies nothing into the repo - plugin updates need no per-repo re-run, on any host
  • Safe to re-run - needed only when the snippet schema bumps or configuration/seeds change
