Plan Flow

Structured AI-assisted development workflows - discovery, planning, execution, code reviews, and testing

Plan-Flow: Structured AI-Assisted Development

A comprehensive skill set for AI-assisted software development with structured workflows and persistent project memory.

Available Commands

Command	Description
/setup	Analyze project and generate pattern files
/discovery	Create discovery document for requirements gathering
/create-plan	Create implementation plan with phases and complexity scores
/execute-plan	Execute plan phases with verification
/create-contract	Create integration contract from API docs
/review-code	Review local uncommitted changes
/review-pr	Review a Pull Request
/write-tests	Write tests to achieve coverage target
/flow	Toggle autopilot mode (auto-chains the full workflow)

Always-Active Features

Feature	Description
Project Ledger	Persistent learning journal at flow/ledger.md - silently captures mistakes, corrections, and project-specific knowledge across sessions

Recommended Workflow

Automated - runs without asking permission:

1. /setup           → Index project patterns (run once)
2. /discovery       → Gather requirements for a feature
3. /create-plan     → Create structured implementation plan (auto-runs after discovery)
4. /execute-plan    → Execute the plan phase by phase (auto-runs after plan)
5. /review-code     → Review changes before committing
6. Archive          → Move discovery + plan to flow/archive/

Only stop to ask the user when:

• Missing critical information (device type, browser, etc.)
• Need to reproduce an issue
• Ambiguous requirements
• Need approval for destructive actions

Never ask "Ready to create plan?" or "Proceed with execution?" - just do it.

Core Concepts

Complexity Scoring

Every plan phase has a complexity score (0-10):

Score	Level	Description
0-2	Trivial	Simple, mechanical changes
3-4	Low	Straightforward implementation
5-6	Medium	Moderate complexity, some decisions
7-8	High	Complex, multiple considerations
9-10	Very High	Significant complexity/risk

Flow Directory Structure

All artifacts are stored in flow/:

flow/
├── archive/           # Completed/abandoned plans
├── contracts/         # Integration contracts
├── discovery/         # Discovery documents
├── plans/             # Active implementation plans
├── references/        # Reference materials
├── reviewed-code/     # Code review documents
├── reviewed-pr/       # PR review documents
└── ledger.md          # Persistent project learning journal

Critical Rules

1. Automated Workflow: Run discovery → plan → execute automatically. Only stop to ask when you need information from the user.
2. Discovery First (Hard Block): /discovery is required before /create-plan. Plans cannot be created without a discovery document. No exceptions. If no discovery exists, run discovery first.
3. Tests Last: Tests are always the last phase of any implementation plan.
4. Build at End Only: Run build verification only after ALL phases complete.
5. Archive When Done: Move completed discovery and plans to flow/archive/.

Configuration

Create .plan-flow.yml in your project root:

ai:
  provider: claude
  anthropic_api_key: sk-ant-api03-your-key-here

Requirements

• git - For version control operations
• gh - GitHub CLI for PR reviews

Installation

clawhub install plan-flow

Or add to your workspace skills folder:

git clone https://github.com/brunoscardoso/plan-flow.git ~/.openclaw/skills/plan-flow
