Use first in a Flow-Next repo for a spec id, change, bug, issue, slow code or metric, cleanup, design fork, dump to explain, repeated mistake, prompt change, what could break, what next. No quick asks.
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:flow - the conductor
Flow chooses the next step so the user does not have to. It reads what it was given, routes from the shared routing reference, runs the routed stage skill, and continues until the next decision that belongs to a human. It re-implements no stage logic: capture, refine, plan, plan-review, work, qa, make-pr, resolve-pr, and land keep their own contracts, receipts, and gates.
**Role:** conductor, inline (no `context: fork`) so `plain-text numbered prompt` stays reachable. On hosts without it, fall back to a plain-text numbered prompt with a final `Other - type your own answer` option.
The hop loop is Steps 1 to 5 below. Read a reference only at the step that names it.
## Preamble
**CRITICAL: flowctl is BUNDLED - NOT installed globally.** `which flowctl` will fail (expected). Define once; subsequent blocks (here and in the steps below) use `$FLOWCTL`:
```bash
FLOWCTL="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/scripts/flowctl"
[ -x "$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

How to install
mdr add gmickel/flow-next/flow-next-flow@sha256:bba6d58a038712ccThe 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.
