SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This setup handles the one-time initialization required when starting or upgrading FLOW projects. It configures workspace permissions, applies the necessary Git excludes, installs the bin/* delegation stubs, and writes a version marker so the feature workflow can initialize reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initializes workspace permissions and project config for FLOW to ensure secure, repeatable setups.
  • Installs bin/* delegation stubs and creates a version marker to enable /flow:flow-start and subsequent commands.
  • Sets up repository state and pre-commit hooks to enforce FLOW-driven commits and project hygiene.

Quick Start

Run the prime setup to initialize FLOW workspace permissions, install bin/* stubs, write the version marker, and configure excludes and hooks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure workspace permissions for a new FLOW project?▼

To configure workspace permissions for a new FLOW project, run a one-time prime setup that applies Git excludes, installs bin/* stubs, and writes a version marker to enable immediate feature development.

What is the purpose of a pre-commit hook in FLOW workflow automation?▼

A pre-commit hook in FLOW workflow automation enforces project hygiene and FLOW-driven commits by validating repository state before changes are finalized, ensuring repeatable and secure setups.

How do I set up bin/* delegation stubs for my repository?▼

Setting up bin/* delegation stubs requires running the FLOW prime setup, which automatically installs the stubs and writes a project config to enable /flow:flow-start and subsequent workflow commands.

Do I need to run prime setup every time I upgrade FLOW workflows?▼

Yes, you need to run prime setup every time you upgrade FLOW workflows because it writes a version marker and updates the .flow.json config to ensure the feature workflow initializes reliably.

What's the best way to initialize project config and enforce Git excludes for FLOW?▼

The best way to initialize project config and enforce Git excludes for FLOW is executing the one-time prime setup, which configures workspace permissions, writes .flow.json, and prepares the environment for feature development.

Why does /flow:flow-start fail to initialize after installation?▼

/flow:flow-start fails to initialize if the one-time prime setup has not been run to install bin/* stubs, write the version marker, and configure the necessary workspace permissions and hooks.
