Flowy

Agentic persistent planning

npm License: Apache-2.0 CI

Jira, Linear, Trello are built for humans clicking boards. AI agents don't click boards. When your agent needs to plan work, track progress, and close tickets, those tools add friction, load context, and get in the way.

Flowy is where agents store plans and flow through execution. Features are master plans. Tasks are execution steps. Everything persists in a database, not as files cluttering your git history. Your agent flows through work without friction.

You get full observability on what every agent planned, built, and shipped.

Get Started

Install (once)

npm i -g @sqaoss/flowy
flowy setup remote --email you@example.com

Initialize a project

cd my-project
flowy init           # auto-detects repo, creates project

Start planning

flowy feature create --title "User Auth" --description auth-spec.md
flowy feature set "User Auth"

flowy task create --title "Implement OAuth" --description oauth.md
flowy task create --title "Write tests" --description "Unit + integration"

flowy status <task-id> in_progress
flowy status <task-id> done

Every command outputs JSON. Your agent reads it, acts on it, moves to the next task.

Agent Skill

Flowy installs an agent skill during setup. Your AI agent automatically knows every command. No manual configuration needed.

Or install the skill manually: npx skills add sqaoss/flowy

See skills/using-flowy/SKILL.md for the full skill reference.

Data Model

project -> feature -> task
  1:many     1:many

Every task belongs to a feature. Every feature belongs to a project. No orphans.

Status Flow

draft -> pending_review -> approved -> in_progress -> done

Also: blocked, cancelled. Only pending_review entities can be approved.

Self-Hosted

Run Flowy on your own machine with SQLite and Docker. Same CLI, same commands.

flowy setup local    # starts a local server via Docker
flowy init           # auto-detects repo
