SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires br, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows for quick, temporary exploration and experimentation without the overhead of a formal audit trail, ideal for proof-of-concept work and research spikes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ephemeral Flows: Create temporary "wisp" flows for short-term tasks.
  • No Audit Trail: Designed for discarding or promoting, with no persistent record of the exploration itself.
  • Low Ceremony: Minimizes process requirements during the exploration phase.
  • Use Case: You have a novel idea for a feature and want to quickly prototype it without committing to a full development cycle. You create a wisp, explore the idea, and then decide whether to promote it to a formal flow or discard it.

Quick Start

Create an ephemeral exploration flow for the idea of 'integrating a new charting library'.

Frequently Asked Questions about flow-wisp

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prototype a new feature idea without creating a persistent audit trail?▼

To prototype a feature without an audit trail, you can use an ephemeral exploration flow. It allows you to rapidly test proof-of-concept ideas and discard them entirely without leaving a persistent record of the exploration.

What is the best way to manage temporary research spikes with low ceremony?▼

The best way to manage temporary research spikes with low ceremony is by creating a wisp flow. This minimizes process requirements during exploration and provides a structured directory for notes and findings.

How do I promote a temporary exploration task to a formal development flow?▼

To promote a temporary exploration task to a formal flow, you use the resolve options provided by the wisp. After exploring your prototype, you can promote the temporary task to a formal flow or discard it entirely.

Do I need the 'br' dependency to manage ephemeral exploration flows?▼

Yes, you need the 'br' dependency to manage ephemeral exploration flows. The Skill utilizes 'br' commands for underlying task management when creating, updating, and resolving temporary exploration tasks.

When should I avoid using ephemeral flows for prototyping?▼

You should avoid using ephemeral flows for prototyping when you need a permanent audit trail of your research process. This approach is designed for discarding or promoting, retaining no persistent record of the exploration itself.
