Overview
Produce a single-file HTML swimlane brief that walks a system, module, or upcoming feature past a non-specialist reader, with provenance badges that separate what is measured from what is merely intended. Use this whenever someone needs to explain how something works to people outside the team — a flow diagram, an architecture walkthrough, an onboarding page, a design-review handout, a 介绍图 or 泳道图 — and especially when they describe the need without naming a format: "explain this to my boss", "draw how the data moves", "something the new hire can read", "I have to present this next week".

Flow Brief
Produce one self-contained .html file: a swimlane walkthrough that explains a system,
a module, or an upcoming feature to someone who does not work inside it. No build step,
no assets beyond one Google Fonts link, opens by double-click.
Match every reader-facing string to the language of the user's request (a Chinese request gets a Chinese page). Keep identifiers, file paths, commands, and error codes verbatim.
The reader is not your peer. A flow brief a fellow engineer enjoys is usually one a director abandons after three lines. Everything below exists to prevent that.
Fast path
- Frame it. From the one-line request pin three things: the subject boundary, the reader (default: competent, but does not work in this module), and the spine (where the flow enters, where it exits). Pick a row from the Scenario router.
- Count the modes — see Rule 1. Most subjects have one; decide before drafting.
- Collect by walking the call chain, not by reading docs. Code first, documents last:
documents lag behind implementations, and the gap between them is often the most
interesting thing you will put on the page. Details in
references/collecting.md. - Draft the artifact before polishing anything. Copy
templates/skeleton.htmland fill bands. Do not redesign the layout. The template owns geometry, color, theming, and responsiveness — that is what makes output stable across models and agents. - Self-check:
python <skill>/scripts/check_flow_brief.py <out.html>, then fix in the order the diagnostics list.
Do not read references/components.md before you have a draft — consult it when you need
a component you have not used yet. Do not invent CSS classes: every visual affordance you
need already exists in the template.
Scenario router
| Scenario | How to find the spine | How to apply the evidence ladder |
|---|---|---|
| Shipped system or module | Walk the call chain from the entry point | Mostly measured + code facts; illustrative only for sample payloads |
| Upcoming feature (no code yet) | Walk the existing upstream and downstream, then splice the design in between | Existing parts are measured/code facts; new parts are to build. The page then shows at a glance what already exists versus what must be built — exactly what a reviewer wants to know |
| Mixed (adding to a live system) | Spine follows the live path; new steps splice in | Both, visually separated. The gap color is reserved for unbuilt things |
For the upcoming-feature scenario the collection order reverses: read the design document first, then find the existing upstream/downstream in code, then mark the seam between them.
The five rules
Each rule exists because of a specific failure. Keep the failure in mind — it is how you tell whether you actually applied the rule.
Rule 1 · Separate the modes
Ask how many ways this flow can run. Most flows have exactly one. When that is the case, say so in a sentence and draw one mode — do not invent a second one to make the page look richer.
When there really is more than one, look for the split along one of these axes:
| Split axis | Typical shape |
|---|---|
| First time vs afterwards | cold start vs cache hit; index build vs query |
| Full vs incremental | bulk import vs delta sync |
| Build vs consume | index build vs query; compile vs run |
| Normal vs degraded | happy path vs fallback, retry, circuit-breaker |
| Sync vs async | answered inline vs queued for later |
| By actor | what an admin traverses vs what an end user does |
The test: if the two ways do different things at the same step, they are separate
modes and each gets its own swimlane section. If one merely skips steps the other
takes, it is not a mode — it is a branch, and it belongs inline as a .band alt.
Failure it prevents: merging two genuinely different runs into one linear flow. The reader can then never tell which steps happen every time and which happen only once — and that distinction usually drives every question they ask next.
Rule 2 · Node triad
Every step band ends with a .dflow strip answering exactly three questions:
what upstream handed me / what I produced this round / who picks it up.
All three, every band. "See above" is not an answer.
Failure it prevents: the most common swimlane failure — boxes and arrows everywhere, but no way to see how the data actually changes shape.
Rule 3 · Evidence ladder
Every factual claim on the page carries a provenance badge. Four rungs:
| Rung | Badge | Required backing |
|---|---|---|
| Measured | real pill | A run identifier, test case, or artifact path |
| Code fact | inline code | A file:line |
| Illustrative | plan pill | Shape is right, values invented — must be labeled |
| To build | gap pill | Not implemented yet — must be labeled |
Failure it prevents: the single most damaging failure in a brief written for leadership — drawing an intention as if it were the current state.
The point of forced labeling is not that the reader will verify you. It is that you cannot fool yourself: every cell demands a rung, and being unable to pick one is the signal that you have not collected enough. Go back to step 3.
Rule 4 · Three reading depths
One page serves three readers. All three layers are mandatory.
- 30-second layer — one line that sets the frame, one comparison table, and the two questions the reader will ask next, answered. The framing line must be repeatable: your reader will quote it to someone else. Example shape: Checkout reserves the stock; fulfilment decides when it ships.
- 5-minute layer — the swimlane itself, one band per step.
- On demand — the provenance ledger:
file:line, run identifiers, exact commands.
Failure it prevents: writing for peers. Dense terminology, no framing, reader quits.
Rule 5 · Show the gap
If you use real cases as evidence, the last case must be one the current design does not handle. If you draw a path, state its known failure mode.
Failure it prevents: a page that reads as marketing. The first question any competent reviewer asks is "so when does it not work?" — no answer collapses the credibility of everything above it.
In practice this section often becomes the most persuasive part of the page.
Authoring invariants
Each carries its own repair order — apply repairs in the order given, and move to the next only when the previous one cannot work.
- Step granularity: one boundary crossing = one step. A boundary crossing is: calling an external service, reading or writing persistent state, driving a browser or subprocess, crossing a process, or making an irreversible decision. Pure internal calls do not get their own step. This single judgement is the main reason two different agents produce comparably-sized briefs from the same request.
- Lane count 4–6. Below 4 a swimlane adds nothing over a list; above 6 the columns are unreadable. Repair: merge adjacent lanes that always act together, then split the section into two swimlanes, and only then reconsider the lane set.
- Band count 8–14 per mode. Repair: collapse consecutive same-actor steps, then move detail into a following table section, and only then drop a step — and if you drop one, say so in the section intro.
- Every
.boxlabel carries at least one provenance pill (Rule 3 is machine-checked). - Numbers appear only with a source. Repair: find the source, then soften to a qualitative statement, then delete. Never keep a bare number.
- Terms are explained where they first appear. No glossary — the reader will not scroll back to it.
- Comparisons go in tables, never in prose paragraphs.
- Counter-intuitive findings get their own
.note warnstating plainly which common assumption they overturn. - Evidence is a before/after pair, not a single image, and the difference is quantified (a diff count, a row count, a percentage — anything better than "it changed").
Language rules
- Lead with what the reader gets, not with how the system is built.
- One idea per sentence when the sentence carries a number or a rule.
- Name things the way the reader names them; introduce the internal term in parentheses once, then use it.
- Never write "simply", "just", or "obviously" — if it were obvious the page would not exist.
- Section headings state a finding, not a topic. "The cache is checked before auth" beats "Caching".
Delivery
python <skill>/scripts/check_flow_brief.py <out.html> # structural, zero deps
python <skill>/scripts/check_flow_brief.py <out.html> --visual # + viewport/theme
<skill> is this skill's directory. The structural pass needs nothing but Python; the
--visual pass shells out to check_visual.mjs next to it.
Exit codes are three-valued and never collapse: 0 pass, 1 fail, 2 unverified
(Node or Chrome missing). 2 is not a pass. Report it as unverified.
What counts as done: the structural check reports 0 errors, and — when --visual is
available — the viewport check reports no horizontal overflow at any of the four widths.
A structural pass alone is a partial result; say so rather than calling it complete.
Convergence limit. Fix diagnostics in the order reported, re-running after each pass. Continue while the error count reaches a new minimum. If two consecutive rounds fail to improve on the best count, stop and report the remaining diagnostics truthfully instead of churning.
Never counterfeit a pass with overflow:hidden on content, clipped elements, an
internal scroller standing in for a fixed layout, stretched heights, or shrunken type.
If a table or code block is genuinely wide it belongs in a .tw scroll container — that
is the sanctioned fix, and the only one.
Known traps
Eight failures observed while producing real pages of this kind. None are hypothetical.
- Markdown syntax leaking into HTML. Text authored in a markdown frame of mind lands
in an HTML target and renders as literal
**. After any bulk content generation, search the whole file for**. - CSS class name collision. A new component reuses a name the skeleton already binds and the layout breaks silently. Search the stylesheet before introducing any name.
- Image without
width:100%. When the image is narrower than its container the leftover strip picks up the highlight overlay and renders as a grey block. - Annotation box coordinates guessed by eye. They drift. Draw the box on the image with a script and confirm the hit before writing percentages into the page.
- Half a theme. Colors defined only inside
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)leave the un-stamped default state undefined. All three states must be present. - Horizontal overflow from wide tables and long code lines. Both belong in scroll containers; verify at several widths.
- Quoting the checker's own vocabulary trips the checker. If your page discusses markdown syntax, template placeholders, or anything else the self-check greps for, the literal string in your prose fires the same rule it was written to catch. Write tho

"value": "Turn \"flow-brief\" from https://github.com/shaokeyibb/flow-brief/blob/master/SKILL.md into a reusable Cursor project rule or agent instruction. Preserve the core workflow, adapt paths to this repo, and keep the rule scoped to tasks where it is relevant. Skill purpose: Produce a single-file HTML swimlane brief that walks a system, module, or upcoming feature past a non-specialist reader, with provenance badges that separate what is measured from what is merely intended. Use this whenever someone needs to explain how something works to people outside the team — a flow diagram, an architecture walkthrough, an onboarding page, a design-review handout, a 介绍图 or 泳道图 — and especially when they describe the need without naming a format: \"explain this to my boss\", \"draw how the data moves\", \"something the new hire can read\", \"I have to present this next week\". After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {\"event_id\":\"install_<unique-id>\",\"skill_slug\":\"shaokeyibb-flow-brief\",\"task\":\"Install flow-brief\",\"agent\":\"cursor\",\"outcome\":\"success\",\"install_used\":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: SKILL.md.
