⚠ The author changed this skill after we tested it. The verdict below describes the version we ran on Jul 13, 2026; it's queued for a re-test.

This is not a drop-in skill: the SKILL.md points to `$HOME/.codex/scripts/flowctl` or `.flow/bin/flowctl`, and that binary 404s at the plugin's own skill-directory path - it only exists after the full flow-next plugin install (marketplace add + /plugin install, which also wires 21 agents and hooks). A plain git-clone-and-copy of just this skill folder produces a skill that cannot run its own Phase 0.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 6/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Flow-Next Impl Review does

Coordinates a 'John Carmack-level' implementation review by dispatching the diff to a different model (RepoPrompt on macOS, or Codex/Copilot/Cursor CLI) via the bundled flowctl tool, with trivial-diff triage, iteration-capped fix loops, and optional deep/validator/interactive passes, rather than letting the calling agent review its own code. It is one internal skill (user-invocable: false) inside the much larger flow-next plugin and is meant to be dispatched by /flow-next:work, not installed or triggered standalone.
