flow-next-plan SKILL.md skillA
flow-next-plan from gmickel/flow-next is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add gmickel/flow-next/flow-next-plan@git:20261106.f99dbf0Pins git:20261106.f99dbf0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Break a spec or idea into reviewed tasks. Run only when the person asks for a plan or task breakdown, by /flow-next:plan, or when flow-next-flow routes here; any other request to design, build or implement a spec or idea goes to flow-next-flow. Triggers on /flow-next:plan with text descriptions or Flow IDs (fn-1-add-oauth, fn-1-add-oauth.2, or legacy fn-1, fn-1.2, fn-1-xxx, fn-1-xxx.2).
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 plan
Turn an idea or an existing spec into a spec with right-sized tasks in `.flow/`, grounded in repo research. Plan writes no code.
Read [working-rules.md](../../references/working-rules.md) first unless you already have this run; it holds for every step of this skill.
**`.flow/` is the only task tracker.** Every spec and task is created or changed through `flowctl`. A markdown TODO list, a TodoWrite call, or a plan file kept outside `.flow/` as the record has broken this.
## Preamble
**flowctl is bundled, not installed globally** (`which flowctl` fails). Define it once; later blocks here and in `steps.md` use `$FLOWCTL`:
```bash
FLOWCTL="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/scripts/flowctl"
[ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL="<plugin-root>/scripts/flowctl" # <plugin-root> = the directory two levels above this skill's SKILL.md file (the harness gave you that file's absolute path when the skill loaded); substitute it literally
[ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL=".flow/bin/flowctl"
```
Check once for flowctl copies left by an older install layout:
```bash
LEFTOVERS=""
for p in .flow/bin/flowctl .flow/bin/flowctl.cmd .flow/bin/flowctl.py \
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add gmickel/flow-next/flow-next-plan@sha256:8ebaa50a940102ddThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.f99dbf0, 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.
