SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up the Flow agentic workflow in a new project requires creating several configuration files by hand, and mistakes in AGENTS.md conventions or tracker settings break downstream skills. This Skill walks you through an interactive, non-destructive setup that creates each file from the official templates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - AGENTS.md creation: Generates the project-level agent instructions file from Flow's template, optionally filling in the project overview placeholder from your description. - Tracker configuration: Creates .claude/tracker.json for GitHub Issues, Azure DevOps, or a no-op backend, and can provision the 8 workflow-state labels on GitHub via tracker.sh setup-labels. - Cross-vendor review setup: Optionally copies the profiles.json example so you can configure Foundry, GitHub Models, or Copilot CLI review profiles. - Use Case: After installing the Flow plugin in a fresh repository, run this Skill once to get a working AGENTS.md, a GitHub-backed tracker config, and workflow-state labels without editing any JSON by hand. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the Flow init skill to bootstrap this project with AGENTS.md and tracker configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions about init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up the Flow workflow in a new project?▼

Run the init skill once after installing the Flow plugin. It interactively creates AGENTS.md from the template, builds .claude/tracker.json for your chosen backend, and optionally sets up cross-vendor review profiles.

How do I configure GitHub Issues as the tracker for Flow?▼

Choose the github backend during init and the skill writes .claude/tracker.json from the example. It can then run tracker.sh setup-labels to create the 8 workflow-state labels, which requires gh auth login to be completed first.

Will Flow init overwrite my existing AGENTS.md file?▼

No, the skill never overwrites existing files. If AGENTS.md or tracker.json already exists, it tells you what Flow expects and points you to the template so you can merge changes manually.

Does Flow init support Azure DevOps work items?▼

Yes, you can select azure-devops as the tracker backend during setup. The skill warns that this backend is currently a stub, so tag and state-transition writes will not yet occur.

What does Flow init not do during setup?▼

It does not commit anything to git, run authentication flows like gh auth login or az login, install prerequisites such as jq or curl, or overwrite existing configuration files. Those steps remain manual user actions.
