flowing
From the author
Runs a multi-step procedure as a Python DAG, so ordering, branching and retries are enforced by the runner rather than described in prose a model can generate past. Use for "run these steps in order and retry the flaky one until the check passes", "build a pipeline that fetches, validates, then skips the upload when nothing changed", "make sure these steps cannot be skipped", "resume from where it broke instead of redoing the expensive early stages", "run these independent calls at once and merge the results", or any procedure of 3+ steps with branches, input contracts, or side effects that must not block the critical path. Primitives are depends_on, when=, validate=, retry_until=, detached= and journal_path=. Not for a single sequential call, for steps needing reasoning between them that no predicate captures, or for async and distributed work. To audit whether one verification check can actually go red, use gating. To fan work out across many subagents, use a dynamic workflow.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- flowguardmajiayu000/spellbookGuard long, ambiguous, or stateful AI-agent work from drift. Use when the user asks to run or continue a multi-step task, autonomous loop, bug fix, repo change, PR readiness check, compaction handoff, resume from previous context, cost-control checkpoint, or any task likely to span many tool calls, files, sessions, agents, or verification gates.Productivity★ 288
- forward-implementation-firstVuk97/forward-implementation-firstKeeps an agent building and validating real output instead of servicing its own bookkeeping. Use for multi-stage pipelines, capability roadmaps, long-running implementation loops, migrations, staged data or build runs, and any run where administrative hashes, locks, receipts, dashboards, certification markers, or progress metadata can block correct work. Use when an agent refuses to advance, rewinds finished stages, or reruns unchanged work because a marker is missing or stale.Other★ 180
- pairingtestdouble/hanBuild work collaboratively in reviewable pieces, handing each piece back for review before starting the next, so the person stays in the lead and steers while the work happens instead of reviewing a finished result. Use when someone says to pair with them on something, asks to collaborate rather than direct, wants to review as it goes, or wants to guide the work piece by piece — on code, on a design decision, or on writing. For a test-first build it runs tdd, for restructuring it runs refactor, for an interface contract it runs design-an-api, and for plan work it runs iterative-plan-review or plan-implementation, each collaboratively; invoke any of those directly instead to run it straight through without pausing. Does not pace someone through code that already exists and builds nothing — use code-walkthrough. Does not explain, summarize, or research something instead of producing it — use code-overview or research.Testing★ 323
- project-workflowwaynesutton/builder-skillsRuns multi step work the way a careful senior engineer would. Triage before code, a short PRD in prds/, task.md kept current, docs synced after, and lessons recorded when a mistake repeats. Use when a task spans several files or steps, changes architecture, needs a plan the user can review, or when the user says "write a PRD", "plan this", "track this in task.md", or "what did we learn".Productivity★ 405
- fable-loopSahir619/fable-methodEnd-to-end orchestrated workflow that runs a task the way Fable ran sessions - parallel evidence subagents, one committed plan, surgical execution with an intent gate, adversarial verification agents, honest outcome-first report. Use for non-trivial multi-step tasks when the user says "/fable-loop", "run the fable loop", or "do this the way Fable would". For the rules alone without orchestration, use fable-method; for large multi-phase projects, prefer the GSD workflow and use this inside phases.Planning★ 2.3K
- gatingoaustegard/claude-skillsBuild and audit deterministic verification gates — a check that blocks a pipeline and can be shown to go red. Use when writing a calibration gate, CI check, validation script or pre-publication check for a numeric or empirical result; when a plausible-but-wrong value would survive review; when asking whether an existing test, linter rule or check could actually fail; and when a suite passes first try, passes suspiciously often, or was written by whatever produced the thing it checks. Triggers on "can this check fail", "known-bad", "negative control", "calibration gate", "sanity check my results", "is this test actually testing anything".Testing★ 154
