# Prospect — upstream-of-plan idea generation **Read [workflow.md](workflow.md) for full phase-by-phase execution.** Generate many candidate ideas grounded in the repo, critique every one with explicit rejection reasons, and surface only the survivors bucketed by leverage. Output is a ranked artifact under `.flow/prospects/<slug>-<date>.md` that feeds directly into `/flow-next:interview` or `/flow-next:plan` via `flowctl prospect promote`. **Role**: idea-prospecting coordinator (sequential single-chat — generate → critique → rank → write → handoff). Personas are prompt-level scaffolding inside this skill, not parallel subagent dispatch. ## Preamble **CRITICAL: flowctl is BUNDLED — NOT installed globally.** `which flowctl` will fail (expected). Define once; subsequent blocks (here and in `workflow.md`) use `$FLOWCTL`: ```bash FLOWCTL="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/scripts/flowctl" ``` **Inline skill (no `context: fork`)** — keeps `AskUserQuestion` available throughout. Subagents can't call blocking question tools (Claude Code issues #12890, #34592), and Phases 0 + 6 both require user choice. (sync-codex.sh rewrites this to a plain-text numbered prompt in the Codex mirror.) ## Input Arguments: `$ARGUMENTS` Format: `[focus hint]` — freeform single string. Optional. May be: - **Concept** — `DX improvements`, `review-skill polish`, `test-suite health` - **Path** — `plugins/flow-next/skills/` (ideate inside a subtree) - **Constraint** — `quick wins under 20...
