## Flow Agents: An Intelligent Agent System That Infuses Structured Workflow Capabilities into Local Development Environments

Flow Agents is a local development workflow agent system developed by Kontour. It supports mainstream AI coding tools such as Codex, Claude Code, and Kiro, and provides a complete workflow closed loop from idea to backlog, plan to execution, review to verification, release preparation to experience recording, helping development teams establish a reproducible and auditable agent collaboration model.

## Project Background and Positioning

With the popularization of AI coding assistants, development teams face the problem of missing workflow consistency across tools/sessions. As a workflow-aware agent bundle, Flow Agents can be integrated into existing toolchains, providing a unified workflow path for runtimes such as Codex, Claude Code, and Kiro. Its core concept is to establish workflow discipline within familiar tools without giving up existing tools.

## Core Workflow Skill System

Flow Agents provides modular skills covering the entire software development lifecycle:
- idea-to-backlog: Convert ideas into structured backlogs
- pull-work: Recommend priority tasks
- plan-work: Generate execution plans
- execute-plan: Execute code according to plan
- review-work: Code review
- verify-work: Verify change effects
- evidence-gate: Quality control point (requires sufficient evidence)
- release-readiness: Evaluate release readiness
- learning-review: Record lessons learned

## Installation and Configuration Guide

Installation methods:
- Basic installation: `npx @kontourai/flow-agents init` (guided)
- Headless mode: `npx @kontourai/flow-agents init --dest /path/to/workspace --telemetry-sink local-files --yes`
- Specific runtime: `npx @kontourai/flow-agents init --runtime codex --dest /path/to/workspace --activate-kits --yes`
After installation, copy resources such as agent definitions and skills; telemetry is written to local files by default.

## Typical Application Scenarios

Applicable scenarios:
1. Idea implementation: Convert ideas to structured Issues via the idea-to-backlog skill
2. Task execution: Select tasks via pull-work → plan-work → execute-plan
3. End-to-end delivery: Complete planning/execution/verification using the deliver command
4. Bug fixing: Reproduce, diagnose, fix, and verify issues using the fix-bug skill
5. Long-term projects: Track agent work status, support session compression, etc.

## Technical Architecture and Verification Tools

**Repository Structure**: Distinguish between source code (agents/, skills/, etc.), generated files (dist/, etc.), runtime files (.flow-agents/, etc.)
**Verification Tools**:
- Repository hooks: `npm run setup:repo-hooks`
- Source code verification: `npm run validate:source`
- CI baseline check: `bash evals/ci/run-baseline.sh --lane source-and-static` etc.
Ensure the bundle is compliant and workflow contracts are followed.

## Industry Significance and Future Outlook

Flow Agents represents the shift of AI-assisted development from single-tool enhancement to workflow coordination, solving problems in AI agent process management, quality, and traceability. It is a methodology that treats AI as a collaborative partner and defines clear workflow boundaries. In the future, it may become an industry standard, promoting the transformation of AI-assisted development from "tools" to "partners".
