Flow Brief

Development community

Description

An agent skill that turns a system, module, or unbuilt feature into a single-file HTML swimlane brief for readers outside the team — with provenance badges separating what is measured from what is merely intended.

Installation

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open the source below and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

README

Flow Brief

Turn a system, a module, or a feature you haven't built yet into one page your director will actually read —
where every claim wears a badge saying how you know it.

A flow brief: title, colour legend, and the 30-second summary layer

Generated by an agent from a real codebase, unedited. The page speaks whatever language you asked in — this one came from a Chinese prompt. Both themes ship in the same file.


Why this exists

Ask any coding agent for "a diagram explaining how this works" and you usually get one of three failures:

  • It draws boxes, not flow. Arrows everywhere, but you cannot see how the data changes shape from one step to the next.
  • It draws intentions as if they were reality. The most damaging failure in anything written for leadership, and the hardest to spot from the outside.
  • It writes for peers. Dense terminology, no framing, and your reader quits three lines in.

Flow Brief is a methodology plus a locked template plus a checker that refuses to pass work that skipped the methodology. The agent fills in content; it does not get to redesign the page — which is what makes the output consistent across different models and different runs.

Quick start

npx skills add shaokeyibb/flow-brief

That is the whole install. The CLI finds the agents you already have and asks where to put it. To target one directly:

npx skills add shaokeyibb/flow-brief -a claude-code
npx skills add shaokeyibb/flow-brief -a cursor
