System Documentation

## What problem does it solve? This skill automates the initial setup for a new feature by creating a worktree, upgrading dependencies, opening a pull request, and initializing .flow-states/<branch>/state.json and configuring the workspace.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates feature-start setup: creates a dedicated worktree, upgrades dependencies, opens a pull request, and writes the initial flow state.
  • Branch derivation and state tracking: derives a branch name from the prompt and initializes a project-scoped state store for concurrent work.
  • Safe, guided workflow: coordinates start-init and flow-start steps with lock management and workspace preparation for consistent environments.

### Quick Start Invoke /flow:flow-start with your feature name to create a worktree, upgrade dependencies, open a PR, and initialize the FLOW state for the new feature.
