arch-flow

name	arch-flow
description	Read-only flow-status and next-step router for arch-step, arch-mini-plan, and lilarch docs. Use when the user asks 'what's next?', wants a checklist, or wants the single best next move without running the workflow. Not for doing the planning or implementation work itself. Use when this capability is needed.

arch-flow

Use this skill to inspect an existing arch-style doc and recommend the next move.

Read references/detection.md, references/checklist-rules.md, and references/recommendation-rules.md before building the checklist.

When to use

• The user asks "what's next?", "where are we in the flow?", or wants a checklist.
• You want a deterministic next-step recommendation from DOC_PATH and WORKLOG_PATH, not memory.
• The doc is part of the full arch flow, the arch-mini-plan path, or the lilarch flow.

When not to use

• The user wants you to actually perform research, planning, implementation, or auditing. Use arch-step or lilarch.
• The user wants generic continuation on a full-arch doc. Use arch-step.
• The user wants the concise strength/weakness status surface or wants to execute one explicit full-arch step. Use arch-step.
• The doc is a bug doc or a goal-loop doc. Use the governing skill for that workflow family.

What to do

1. Resolve DOC_PATH and the derived WORKLOG_PATH.
2. Infer whether the doc is:
   • full arch
   • arch-mini-plan follow-through
   • lilarch
3. Build a full evidence-based checklist:
   • mark each required step DONE, PENDING, OPTIONAL, or UNKNOWN
   • include the evidence note for each line
4. Recommend the single best next move:
   • arch-step for full-arch execution or post-mini-plan follow-through until the code audit is clean
   • arch-docs for full-arch or post-mini-plan docs cleanup after the clean code audit
   • lilarch for lilarch steps
5. If the user asks to run the next step, switch to the governing skill and do the work there.

Invariants

• Use the plan doc (DOC_PATH) as the source of truth.
• Keep this skill read-only unless the user explicitly asks you to proceed into the next step.
• Do not invent steps or ask questions that can be answered from the repo/doc.
