flow-run

name	flow-run
description	Run the complete task workflow for this repository by strictly following SPECS/COMMANDS/FLOW.md from BRANCH through ARCHIVE-REVIEW, including required commit checkpoints and quality gates. Use when asked to do the next task end-to-end, complete the full workflow, or execute "start to finish" task delivery in this project.

Flow Run

Execute the workflow in SPECS/COMMANDS/FLOW.md exactly, without skipping required steps unless the workflow itself explicitly allows skipping.

Required Inputs

Collect these before starting:

• Task identifier (for example P5-T2) and short description.
• Current branch and whether a feature branch already exists.
• Confirmation of which review subject name to use for REVIEW_{subject}.md.

If the task identifier is unknown, determine it from SPECS/Workplan.md and SPECS/INPROGRESS/next.md during SELECT.

Read .flow/params.yaml (verify.*) to get project-specific quality gate commands. If params are missing or incomplete, guide the user to run SETUP first.

Execution Contract

Apply these rules throughout execution:

• Read SPECS/COMMANDS/FLOW.md at the beginning and treat it as the source of truth.
• Complete steps in order: BRANCH -> SELECT -> PLAN -> EXECUTE -> ARCHIVE -> REVIEW -> FOLLOW-UP -> ARCHIVE-REVIEW.
• Use the flow-primitive-commit skill (or standard git commits) for every commit checkpoint — stage only task-relevant files and use present-tense FLOW message patterns.
• Run required quality gates during EXECUTE (tests, linting, type checking if configured, coverage check).
• Read quality gate commands from .flow/params.yaml (verify.*); if not configured, use common defaults for the detected language.
• Record artifacts in expected locations under SPECS/INPROGRESS/ and SPECS/ARCHIVE/.
• If REVIEW has no actionable issues, skip FOLLOW-UP and proceed directly to ARCHIVE-REVIEW, as FLOW permits.

Step Procedure

1. BRANCH

• Ensure main is up to date.
• Create feature/{TASK_ID}-{short-description} if not already on the correct feature branch.
• Commit message pattern: Branch for {TASK_ID}: {short description}.

2. SELECT

• Choose the next task from SPECS/Workplan.md.
• Update SPECS/INPROGRESS/next.md with selected task metadata.
• Commit message pattern: Select task {TASK_ID}: {TASK_NAME}.

3. PLAN

• Create the task PRD at SPECS/INPROGRESS/{TASK_ID}_{TASK_NAME}.md.
• Define deliverables, acceptance criteria, dependencies.
• Commit message pattern: Plan task {TASK_ID}: {TASK_NAME}.

4. EXECUTE

• Implement to the PRD.
• Run quality gates defined in FLOW and .flow/params.yaml (verify.*).
• Create SPECS/INPROGRESS/{TASK_ID}_Validation_Report.md.
• Commit message pattern: Implement {TASK_ID}: {brief description of changes}.
• For large tasks, commit incrementally after each logical unit of work.

5. ARCHIVE

• Run SPECS/COMMANDS/ARCHIVE.md workflow.
• Verify task archive folder exists under SPECS/ARCHIVE/{TASK_ID}_{TASK_NAME}/.
• Confirm SPECS/INPROGRESS/next.md and SPECS/Workplan.md are updated.
• Commit message pattern: Archive task {TASK_ID}: {TASK_NAME} ({VERDICT}).

6. REVIEW

• Run SPECS/COMMANDS/REVIEW.md.
• Save review report at SPECS/INPROGRESS/REVIEW_{subject}.md.
• Commit message pattern: Review {TASK_ID}: {short subject}.

7. FOLLOW-UP

• If review has actionable findings, run SPECS/COMMANDS/PRIMITIVES/FOLLOW_UP.md.
• Add follow-up tasks to SPECS/Workplan.md.
• Commit message pattern: Follow-up {TASK_ID}: {short subject}.
• If no actionable findings, explicitly note FOLLOW-UP skipped.

8. ARCHIVE-REVIEW

• Move REVIEW_{subject}.md to SPECS/ARCHIVE/_Historical/ or relevant task folder.
• Update SPECS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.md.
• Commit message pattern: Archive REVIEW_{subject} report.

Optional Post-FLOW Actions

If the user explicitly asks for PR and CI handling, do it after ARCHIVE-REVIEW:

• Open a pull request from the feature branch into main.
• Include quality gate results and reference the validation report.
• Review CI outcomes and iterate on fixes if checks fail.

Completion Criteria

Consider the run complete only when all are true:

• FLOW step sequence has been fully executed (or optional FOLLOW-UP formally skipped due to no findings).
• Required artifacts exist in SPECS/INPROGRESS/ and/or SPECS/ARCHIVE/.
• Required quality gates were run and outcomes captured.
• Every commit checkpoint was created with FLOW message patterns.

Trigger Phrases

Use this skill when requests look like:

• "Do the next task from start to end."
• "Run the full FLOW workflow for the next task."
• "Take this task all the way through branch, plan, execute, archive, and review."
• "Strictly follow the instructions in the @SPECS/COMMANDS/FLOW.md file carefully for the next task. Do not stop between steps. Complete each phase of the FLOW process one by one without asking questions or pausing."
