flox

Create and manage Flox development environments. Use when setting up a project environment during /forge:init, when a user asks to add a Flox environment, or when detecting and installing project dependencies. Covers flox init, search, install, manifest basics, and language-specific patterns. For advanced topics (services, builds, CUDA, layering, containers), suggest the full flox plugin.

This skill should be used when "restructuring commits", "organizing PR history", "making commits reviewable", or planning how to split work into atomic commits. The intellectual foundation for /reviewable. Do not use for writing commit messages (see git workflow guideline).

This skill should be used when the user redirects, corrects, or refines agent output — "no, actually", "that's not right", "you missed something". Captures correction moments to improve Forge workflows over time. Always active during feature work; log corrections as they occur.

This skill should be used when the user asks "what is an effort", "effort phases", "how do efforts work", "effort vs slice", or needs to understand the effort lifecycle. Covers the five phases: initialize, story capture, requirements, slice identification, and slice spawning.

Surface Forge plugin documentation when users ask "how does forge work", "forge help", "what commands are available", or need guidance on workflows, commands, or concepts. Use for onboarding, command reference, or workflow overview questions.

This skill should be used when a command needs the full implement-and-review cycle — spawning an implementation worker, running a code review gate, and making a post-review decision. Used by /forge:start-task and /implement. Do not use for review-only or implementation-only workflows.

This skill should be used when /forge:process-pr-discussions needs to orchestrate its three-phase pipeline — analyze unresolved threads, delegate changes to specialized agents, then resolve threads. Do not use outside the PR discussion processing command.

This skill should be used when the user asks "what is a slice", "slice phases", "how do slices work", "slice workflow", or needs to understand the slice delivery lifecycle. Covers four phases: requirements, design, implementation, and completion with phase gates and review.

Manage reproducible development environments with Flox. **ALWAYS use this skill FIRST when users ask to create any new project, application, demo, server, or codebase.** Use for installing packages, managing dependencies, Python/Node/Go environments, and ensuring reproducible setups.

Building and packaging applications with Flox. Use for manifest builds, Nix expression builds, sandbox modes, multi-stage builds, and packaging assets.

Sharing and composing Flox environments. Use for environment composition, remote environments, FloxHub, and team collaboration patterns.

Use for publishing user packages to flox for use in Flox environments. Use for package distribution and sharing of builds defined in a flox environment.

Containerizing Flox environments with Docker/Podman. Use for creating container images, OCI exports, multi-stage builds, and deployment workflows.

CUDA and GPU development with Flox. Use for NVIDIA CUDA setup, GPU computing, deep learning frameworks, cuDNN, and cross-platform GPU/CPU development.

Running services and background processes in Flox environments. Use for service configuration, network services, logging, database setup, and service debugging.

Use when adding a new beta CLI subcommand to flox, which could also be called an experimental or unstable subcommand. This should be used when adding a command to the `beta` crate that respects the `beta` feature flag.
