Flow Next

Name: Flow Next (Claude Skill)
Author: gmickel

Plan-first orchestration: every non-trivial ask becomes a checkable plan you can edit before any code is written.

Flow Next slots between you and the agent: it prompts for a structured plan first, you approve, then execution. Works across Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Factory Droid.
