Claude Project Flow

claude-project-flow

Per-project workflow orchestrator plugin for Claude Code. Filesystem-only, versioned with git, no DB, no MCP, no dashboard.

What it does

Manages feature lifecycle for a single project: create feature branch + scaffold folder, collect requirements, create plans (delegating to installed plugins like superpowers), generate final docs, close feature.

All state lives in .project-flow/ inside your project repo, as markdown files you can read and edit by hand.

Installation

claude plugin install matteovisca/claude-project-flow

Quick start

cd your-project
# First time setup (one-off per project):
/project-flow:init
# → scaffolds .project-flow/config.md + .project-flow/context.md

/project-flow:start-feature export-csv
# → creates branch feature/export-csv + .project-flow/features/export-csv/
# (if config is missing, start-feature will offer to run init automatically)

/project-flow:requirements
# → dialog → saves requirements/001-initial.md

/project-flow:plan
# → delegates to superpowers:writing-plans → plans/001-export-csv.md

# ... implement ...

/project-flow:close-feature
# → generates docs/overview.md + implementation.md + edge-cases.md
# → optionally merges branch

Commands

Command	Purpose
/project-flow:init	Bootstrap project: scaffold .project-flow/config.md + context.md
/project-flow:start-feature <slug>	New feature: branch + folder scaffold
/project-flow:requirements	Collect/update requirements via dialog
/project-flow:plan	Create implementation plan (delegates to superpowers if installed)
/project-flow:close-feature	Generate docs + optional merge + mark closed
/project-flow:man [skill]	Inline reference

Configuration

Run /project-flow:init once per project to scaffold .project-flow/config.md. If missing when you invoke /project-flow:start-feature, the skill will offer to run init for you (announce-then-proceed). Edit to customize:

• Branch conventions (e.g. feature/<slug> vs US-<n>-<slug>)
• Folder layout overrides (if you already have docs/adr/ etc.)
• Plugin mapping (plan: superpowers:writing-plans by default — change per project)
• Workflow rules (announce default, cross-review policy)

External dependencies

The plugin itself has zero runtime dependencies (only Node.js ≥18). Optional external plugins can be invoked for specific scopes — configured via config.md:

• superpowers:writing-plans — recommended for /project-flow:plan
• superpowers:test-driven-development — optional, manifesto-style
• codex:rescue — v2, cross-review

If a mapped plugin isn't installed, the session-start hook warns (non-blocking).

Philosophy

• Per-project: scope limited to one project, not a cross-project knowledge manager
• Filesystem-only: markdown + git. Anything more (DB, MCP, dashboard) was overkill in previous versions
• Delegate, don't reinvent: leverage ecosystem plugins for specialized phases
• Announce, never magic: every routing to an external plugin is announced before invocation

Status

v0.2.0 — MVP. See docs/superpowers/specs/ for design and docs/superpowers/plans/ for implementation plan.
