.flow/ is the only task tracker. A run that recorded task state in a markdown TODO, a plan file, TodoWrite, or any other tracker has broken this — all task state is read and written via flowctl.
Existing-spec clarification stays primary. Interview refines a valid spec with unresolved judgment questions. Do not reopen discovery as /flow-next:chart unless the answers reveal that the effort itself is not yet specifiable - only then route backward to chart.

Role: technical interviewer, spec refiner Goal: extract complete implementation details through deep questioning (40+ questions typical)
Full request: $ARGUMENTS
Accepts a Flow spec ID, a Flow task ID, a resolvable tracker handle, a file path, or nothing — recognition rules and the fetch command per type are in "Detect Input Type" below (single copy; the write-back command per type is in references/write-back.md).
Examples:
/flow-next:interview fn-1-add-oauth/flow-next:interview fn-1-add-oauth.3/flow-next:interview fn-1 (legacy formats fn-1, fn-1-xxx still supported)/flow-next:interview docs/oauth-spec.mdIf empty, ask: "What should I interview you about? Give me a Flow ID (e.g., fn-1-add-oauth) or file path (e.g., docs/spec.md)"
--scope=business|technical|both (fn-44.1 plumbing)Token-safe parsing for --scope / --biz / --tech lives in flowctl scope resolve — never re-implement inline. The subcommand strips scope tokens, preserves every other token in order (Flow IDs, paths, --docs, --strategy, ...), and emits the resolved scope plus a defaulted flag. The resolver's fallback when no scope flag is passed is technical (1.0.2 backward-compat) — but the skill does NOT silently run it: when defaulted == true, ask the user which pass to run after Detect Input Type (see "Scope selection when no flag passed" below). technical applies only when that question cannot be asked.
# Run BEFORE the --docs / --strategy strip block. Conflict / invalid value
# → non-zero exit; SKILL propagates.
#
# `--raw "$ARGUMENTS"` tokenizes via shlex INSIDE flowctl — preserves quoted
# paths with spaces (e.g., `/flow-next:interview --biz "docs/my spec.md"`).
# Unquoted `$ARGUMENTS` would word-split into broken tokens.
RESOLVED_JSON=$("$FLOWCTL" scope resolve --json --raw "$ARGUMENTS")
SCOPE=$(printf '%s' "$RESOLVED_JSON" | jq -r '.scope')
# true when no scope flag was passed — gates the "Scope selection when no
# flag passed" question below (older flowctl without the field → false,
# preserving the silent technical default).
SCOPE_DEFAULTED=$(printf '%s' "$RESOLVED_JSON" | jq -r '.defaulted // false')
# `remaining_args` is a JSON array of strings. Re-join with single spaces
# for downstream consumption; downstream code MUST re-tokenize via the
# same safe path (shlex) if it might re-encounter quoted paths.
ARGUMENTS=$(printf '%s' "$RESOLVED_JSON" | jq -r '.remaining_args | join(" ")')
Scope parsing, write policy, and bank selection come from flowctl scope resolve / scope write-policy / scope bank. A skill that re-implements the tokenizer, the section-ownership rules, or the bank mapping inline has broken this — the two copies drift and the inline one wins silently.
--docs / --no-docs / --strategy / --no-strategy flagsThe four doc-aware override flags must be stripped from $ARGUMENTS before input-type detection so they don't get confused for a Flow ID or path. Two force variables carry the result — "" = autodetect, "on" = forced on, "off" = forced off:
RAW_ARGS="$ARGUMENTS"
DOC_AWARE_FORCE="" # controls glossary + decisions
STRATEGY_AWARE_FORCE="" # controls strategy independently
When the invocation carried ANY of --docs / --no-docs / --strategy / --no-strategy, STOP and read references/doc-aware.md § Flag parsing before proceeding — it holds the strip block (both pairs mutually exclusive, negation wins on conflict), the cascade rules, the flag matrix that is the contract for each combination, and the scope × doc/strategy interaction table. A bare invocation skips it: no flag token is present, so RAW_ARGS is $ARGUMENTS unchanged (whitespace-normalized) and both force variables stay empty (autodetect).
Decide whether doc-aware mode activates. DOC_AWARE controls glossary + decisions; STRATEGY_AWARE controls the strategy-conflict behavior independently. Each has three paths (forced-on / forced-off / autodetect) per the flag matrix.
The default-autodetect rule is: doc-aware mode activates when any of three conditions has signal — glossary.total_terms > 0 (a) OR a decision entry exists (b) OR strategy.sections_filled >= 1 (c). The two flag pairs override (a)+(b) and (c) independently. Counting populated entries (rather than [[ -f <file> ]]) is deliberate — see references/doc-aware.md § Why counts, not file presence.

When the sentinel prints, STOP and read references/doc-aware.md before any further step, then apply its behaviors — Phase-zero glossary scan (a), fuzzy-term sharpening (b), code-versus-assertion contradiction (c), decision-record write (d), and code-vs-strategy contradiction (e). On the default no-docs path (DOC_AWARE=0 and STRATEGY_AWARE=0) the interview proceeds exactly as today — do not read the file.
Handle-recognition rule (R16): do NOT gate on a hard "must start with fn-" check. Before treating a single-token arg as a file path or freeform, route it through $FLOWCTL show <arg> --json — flowctl's widened resolver (fn-52.10) maps a tracker key (wor-17 / wor-17.M) to its linked spec/task, so a resolvable handle is the existing spec/task, never a new idea. Patterns 1-2 below are the common case; pattern 3 generalizes them to any resolvable handle.
Flow spec ID pattern: matches fn-\d+(-[a-z0-9-]+)? (e.g., fn-1-add-oauth, fn-12, fn-2-fix-login-bug)
$FLOWCTL show <id> --json$FLOWCTL cat <id>Flow task ID pattern: matches fn-\d+(-[a-z0-9-]+)?\.\d+ (e.g., fn-1-add-oauth.3, fn-12.5)
$FLOWCTL show <id> --json$FLOWCTL cat <id>$FLOWCTL cat <spec-id>Resolvable tracker handle: any single-token arg (not an .md path) that $FLOWCTL show <arg> --json resolves — e.g. a Linear key wor-17 (spec) or wor-17.3 (task). Use the canonical id from the JSON; a .-containing handle is a task (fetch parent spec too), otherwise a spec. Treat exactly like patterns 1-2; never re-create.
File path: a path-like token / .md extension that does NOT resolve via flowctl show
Done when: the argument is classified as exactly one of the four patterns, every non-.md single-token arg was routed through $FLOWCTL show <arg> --json before that classification, and the target's content (spec body, task + parent spec, or file) is in hand for the scope recommendation below.
Fires ONLY when SCOPE_DEFAULTED=true (no --scope / --biz / --tech in the invocation). An explicit scope flag always wins and skips this section entirely.
Runs AFTER Detect Input Type — the spec/file content is in hand, so the recommendation is informed. Ask ONE plain-text numbered prompt (same blocking primitive as every interview question; the tool-unreachable fallback under "Question Format" applies):
Interview scopeWhich interview pass should run? business = product framing (goal, users, boundaries, outcome AC — never decides architecture, stack, or APIs); technical = implementation details (architecture, API contracts, edge cases); both = business first, then technical. Recommended: <X> — <one-sentence rationale from the target's current state>. Confidence: [judgment-call].business, technical, bothDerive the recommendation from the target's current state:
both — ground the product framing before any technical decision.technical — the business layer exists; fill the technical layer.technical — refine in place.Set SCOPE to the answer and proceed exactly as if the flag had been passed — write-policy, question bank, and pass behavior all follow the chosen scope. If the question genuinely cannot be asked (tool unreachable and no plain-text answer), fall back to technical and say so in the interview opener.
Why this exists: a PM invoking /flow-next:interview <spec-id> bare used to get a silent technical interrogation — stack/API questions they don't own, with skipped answers at risk of becoming rails-derived defaults. The scope question makes the business pass discoverable at the exact moment it matters.

# Flow interview
Conduct an extremely thorough interview about a task/spec and write refined details back.
**`.flow/` is the only task tracker.** A run that recorded task state in a markdown TODO, a plan file, TodoWrite, or any other tracker has broken this — all task state is read and written via `flowctl`.
### Chart boundary (fn-135)
Existing-spec clarification stays **primary**. Interview refines a valid spec with unresolved judgment questions. Do **not** reopen discovery as `/flow-next:chart` unless the answers reveal that the **effort itself is not yet specifiable** - only then route backward to chart. Clear work that never needed a chart stays out of chart. Unsure of the hop: `/flow-next:guide`.
## Preamble
**CRITICAL: flowctl is BUNDLED — NOT installed globally.** `which flowctl` will fail (expected). Define once; subsequent blocks use `$FLOWCTL`:
```bash
FLOWCTL="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/scripts/flowctl"
[ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL="<plugin-root>/scripts/flowctl" # <plugin-root> = the directory two levels above this skill's SKILL.md file (the harness gave you that file's absolute path when the skill loaded); substitute it literally
[ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL=".flow/bin/flowctl"
```
**Role**: technical interviewer, spec refiner
**Goal**: extract complete implementation details through deep questioning (40+ questions typical)
## Input
Full request: $ARGUMENTS
Accepts a Flow spec ID, a Flow task ID, a resolvable tracker handle, a file path, or nothing — recognition rules and the fetch command per type are in "Detect Input Type" below (single copy; the write-back command per type is in `references/write-back.md`).
Examples:
- `/flow-next:interview fn-1-add-oauth`
- `/flow-next:interview fn-1-add-oauth.3`
- `/flow-next:interview fn-1` (legacy formats fn-1, fn-1-xxx still supported)
- `/flow-next:interview docs/oauth-spec.md`
If empty, ask: "What should I interview you about? Give me a Flow ID (e.g., fn-1-add-oauth) or file path (e.g., docs/spec.md)"
## Setup
### Parse `--scope=business|technical|both` (fn-44.1 plumbing)
Token-safe parsing for `--scope` / `--biz` / `--tech` lives in `flowctl scope resolve` — never re-implement inline. The subcommand strips scope tokens, preserves every other token in order (Flow IDs, paths, `--docs`, `--strategy`, ...), and emits the resolved scope plus a `defaulted` flag. The resolver's fallback when no scope flag is passed is `technical` (1.0.2 backward-compat) — but the skill does NOT silently run it: when `defaulted == true`, ask the user which pass to run after Detect Input Type (see "Scope selection when no flag passed" below). `technical` applies only when that question cannot be asked.
```bash
# Run BEFORE the --docs / --strategy strip block. Conflict / invalid value
# → non-zero exit; SKILL propagates.
#
# `--raw "$ARGUMENTS"` tokenizes via shlex INSIDE flowctl — preserves quoted
# paths with spaces (e.g., `/flow-next:interview --biz "docs/my spec.md"`).
# Unquoted `$ARGUMENTS` would word-split into broken tokens.
RESOLVED_JSON=$("$FLOWCTL" scope resolve --json --raw "$ARGUMENTS")
SCOPE=$(printf '%s' "$RESOLVED_JSON" | jq -r '.scope')
# true when no scope flag was passed — gates the "Scope selection when no
# flag passed" question below (older flowctl without the field → false,
# preserving the silent technical default).
SCOPE_DEFAULTED=$(printf '%s' "$RESOLVED_JSON" | jq -r '.defaulted // false')
# `remaining_args` is a JSON array of strings. Re-join with single spaces
# for downstream consumption; downstream code MUST re-tokenize via the
# same safe path (shlex) if it might re-encounter quoted paths.
ARGUMENTS=$(printf '%s' "$RESOLVED_JSON" | jq -r '.remaining_args | join(" ")')
```
**Scope parsing, write policy, and bank selection come from `flowctl scope resolve` / `scope write-policy` / `scope bank`.** A skill that re-implements the tokenizer, the section-ownership rules, or the bank mapping inline has broken this — the two copies drift and the inline one wins silently.
### Parse `--docs` / `--no-docs` / `--strategy` / `--no-strategy` flags
The four doc-aware override flags must be stripped from `$ARGUMENTS` before input-type detection so they don't get confused for a Flow ID or path. Two force variables carry the result — `""` = autodetect, `"on"` = forced on, `"off"` = forced off:
```bash
RAW_ARGS="$ARGUMENTS"
DOC_AWARE_FORCE="" # controls glossary + decisions
STRATEGY_AWARE_FORCE="" # controls strategy independently
```
**When the invocation carried ANY of `--docs` / `--no-docs` / `--strategy` / `--no-strategy`**, STOP and read [`references/doc-aware.md`](references/doc-aware.md) § Flag parsing before proceeding — it holds the strip block (both pairs mutually exclusive, negation wins on conflict), the cascade rules, the flag matrix that is the contract for each combination, and the scope × doc/strategy interaction table. A bare invocation skips it: no flag token is present, so `RAW_ARGS` is `$ARGUMENTS` unchanged (whitespace-normalized) and both force variables stay empty (autodetect).
### Doc-aware autodetect
Decide whether doc-aware mode activates. `DOC_AWARE` controls glossary + decisions; `STRATEGY_AWARE` controls the strategy-conflict behavior independently. Each has three paths (forced-on / forced-off / autodetect) per the flag matrix.
The default-autodetect rule is: doc-aware mode activates when **any** of three conditions has signal — `glossary.total_terms > 0` (a) OR a decision entry exists (b) OR `strategy.sections_filled >= 1` (c). The two flag pairs override (a)+(b) and (c) independently. Counting populated entries (rather than `[[ -f <file> ]]`) is deliberate — see [`references/doc-aware.md`](references/doc-aware.md) § Why counts, not file presence.
```bash
# DOC_AWARE: glossary + decisions. Probes and parses fail OPEN (|| DOC_AWARE=1).
DOC_AWARE=0
if [[ "$DOC_AWARE_FORCE" == "on" ]]; then
DOC_AWARE=1
elif [[ "$DOC_AWARE_FORCE" == "off" ]]; then
DOC_AWARE=0
else
# NO pipelines in the probe — capture raw first, rc-checked; parse separately.

fi
if [ "$DOC_AWARE" = "0" ] && { [ "${TERMS:-0}" -gt 0 ] || [ "${DECS:-0}" -gt 0 ]; }; then
DOC_AWARE=1
fi
fi
# STRATEGY_AWARE: strategy (independent of DOC_AWARE — autodetects on its own signal)
STRATEGY_AWARE=0
if [[ "$STRATEGY_AWARE_FORCE" == "on" ]]; then
STRATEGY_AWARE=1
elif [[ "$STRATEGY_AWARE_FORCE" == "off" ]]; then
STRATEGY_AWARE=0
else
STRATEGY_RAW="$("$FLOWCTL" strategy status --json 2>/dev/null)" || STRATEGY_AWARE=1
if [ "$STRATEGY_AWARE" = "0" ]; then
STRAT_FILLED="$(printf '%s' "$STRATEGY_RAW" | jq -r '.sections_filled // 0' 2>/dev/null)" || STRATEGY_AWARE=1

if [ "$STRATEGY_AWARE" = "0" ] && [ "${STRAT_FILLED:-0}" -ge 1 ]; then

fi
if [ "$DOC_AWARE" = "1" ] || [ "$STRATEGY_AWARE" = "1" ]; then
echo "DOC-AWARE GATE ACTIVE — STOP. Read references/doc-aware.md before drafting the first question."
fi
```
When the sentinel prints, STOP and **read [`references/doc-aware.md`](references/doc-aware.md)** before any further step, then apply its behaviors — Phase-zero glossary scan (a), fuzzy-term sharpening (b), code-versus-assertion contradiction (c), decision-record write (d), and code-vs-strategy contradiction (e). On the default no-docs path (`DOC_AWARE=0` and `STRATEGY_AWARE=0`) the interview proceeds exactly as today — do not read the file.
## Detect Input Type
**Handle-recognition rule (R16):** do NOT gate on a hard "must start with `fn-`" check. Before treating a single-token arg as a file path or freeform, route it through `$FLOWCTL show <arg> --json` — flowctl's widened resolver (fn-52.10) maps a tracker key (`wor-17` / `wor-17.M`) to its linked spec/task, so a resolvable handle is the existing spec/task, never a new idea. Patterns 1-2 below are the common case; pattern 3 generalizes them to any resolvable handle.
1. **Flow spec ID pattern**: matches `fn-\d+(-[a-z0-9-]+)?` (e.g., fn-1-add-oauth, fn-12, fn-2-fix-login-bug)
- Fetch: `$FLOWCTL show <id> --json`
- Read spec: `$FLOWCTL cat <id>`
2. **Flow task ID pattern**: matches `fn-\d+(-[a-z0-9-]+)?\.\d+` (e.g., fn-1-add-oauth.3, fn-12.5)
- Fetch: `$FLOWCTL show <id> --json`
- Read spec: `$FLOWCTL cat <id>`
- Also get parent spec context: `$FLOWCTL cat <spec-id>`
3. **Resolvable tracker handle**: any single-token arg (not an `.md` path) that `$FLOWCTL show <arg> --json` resolves — e.g. a Linear key `wor-17` (spec) or `wor-17.3` (task). Use the canonical id from the JSON; a `.`-containing handle is a task (fetch parent spec too), otherwise a spec. Treat exactly like patterns 1-2; never re-create.
4. **File path**: a path-like token / `.md` extension that does NOT resolve via `flowctl show`
- Read file contents
- If file doesn't exist, ask user to provide valid path
Done when: the argument is classified as exactly one of the four patterns, every non-`.md` single-token arg was routed through `$FLOWCTL show <arg> --json` before that classification, and the target's content (spec body, task + parent spec, or file) is in hand for the scope recommendation below.
## Scope selection when no flag passed
Fires ONLY when `SCOPE_DEFAULTED=true` (no `--scope` / `--biz` / `--tech` in the invocation). An explicit scope flag always wins and skips this section entirely.
Runs AFTER Detect Input Type — the spec/file content is in hand, so the recommendation is informed. Ask ONE `plain-text numbered prompt` (same blocking primitive as every interview question; the tool-unreachable fallback under "Question Format" applies):
- **header**: `Interview scope`
- **body**: `Which interview pass should run? business = product framing (goal, users, boundaries, outcome AC — never decides architecture, stack, or APIs); technical = implementation details (architecture, API contracts, edge cases); both = business first, then technical. Recommended: <X> — <one-sentence rationale from the target's current state>. Confidence: [judgment-call].`
- **options** (frozen): `business`, `technical`, `both`
Derive the recommendation from the target's current state:
- Biz sections empty AND tech sections empty (new idea, fresh spec, bare file) → recommend `both` — ground the product framing before any technical decision.
- Biz sections populated, tech sections empty or placeholder-only → recommend `technical` — the business layer exists; fill the technical layer.
- Tech sections populated, biz sections absent (1.0.2-shape solo spec) → recommend `technical` — refine in place.
Set `SCOPE` to the answer and proceed exactly as if the flag had been passed — write-policy, question bank, and pass behavior all follow the chosen scope. If the question genuinely cannot be asked (tool unreachable and no plain-text answer), fall back to `technical` and say so in the interview opener.
Why this exists: a PM invoking `/flow-next:interview <spec-id>` bare used to get a silent technical interrogation — stack/API questions they don't own, with skipped answers at risk of becoming rails-derived defaults. The scope question makes the business pass discoverable at the exact moment it matters.
