Synthesize the current conversation context into a flow-next spec at `.flow/specs/<spec-id>.md` via `flowctl spec create --plan-file` — agent-native, source-tagged, with a saved-spec summary and editor follow-up. Triggers on /flow-next:capture, "capture spec", "lock down what we discussed", "make a spec from this conversation", "convert conversation to spec". Optional `mode:autofix` token runs without questions and requires `--yes` to write. Optional `--rewrite <spec-id>` overwrites an…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

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

A discussion (or a `/flow-next:prospect` survivor) often holds a complete spec that never gets written down, and the next session loses it. Capture is the synthesis step: the host agent extracts the user's turns, drafts a spec against the resolved template, **tags only what it paraphrased or inferred** (`[paraphrase]` / `[inferred]` / `[strategy:<track>]`; the user's verbatim words stay untagged), writes it through flowctl, prints a compact summary, and offers the saved file in the editor ([docs/read-back.md](../../docs/read-back.md)). The capture request authorizes the write; substantive choices still get short questions. No Python synthesizer, no model subprocess.

flowctl supplies thin plumbing (`spec create`, `spec set-plan`, `spec set-branch`, `memory search`) plus the `chart link-spec` callback after a chart-briefing capture. Capture never writes chart files or a chart's `ready` flag; chart never writes `.flow/specs`.

Clear ideas and finished chart briefings route here; capture never manufactures a chart for clear work. Unsure: `/flow-next:flow --explain`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gmickel/flow-next/flow-next-capture@sha256:0831397b844dd6f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.ad77f16, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
