Flowser

Built by world-class engineers, for vibecoders at
flowser.ai โ€” AI Agents with computers for GTM


Stop your AI from coding before it thinks โ€” and forgetting every detailed prompt from you.
This harness turns any AI coding agent into a spec-driven engineering team
that researches, plans, ships production-grade code, and self-improves its memory to survive context-rotting even 6 months later.


Flow like water

"Total Concentration โ€” Spec Breathing, Tenth Form: Constant Flux.
A continuous development cycle that grows stronger with each feature shipped.
Context compounds. The flow never breaks."

๐Ÿš€ Install (30 seconds)

Run this inside your project folder. Open a terminal and cd into the project you want the harness installed into before running the command โ€” it installs into the current directory.

Prefer to drive it from your agent? Open Claude Code or Codex with that project folder as the working directory, then paste the full setup prompt below.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/withkynam/vibecode-pro-max-kit/main/install.sh | bash

Then open Claude Code and say:

Run vc-setup

That's it. The setup skill detects your stack, asks about your project (a real conversation, not a checklist), scaffolds the process directory, deep-scans your codebase, and populates context files with actual content โ€” not placeholders.

  • Fresh project? Installs the full harness, then vc-setup studies your codebase
  • Existing .claude/ config? Backs up to .vibecode-backup/, installs fresh, restores your settings.json
  • Existing process/ directory? Never touched by install โ€” vc-setup handles migration intelligently
  • Existing CLAUDE.md? Backed up as CLAUDE.md.pre-vibecode, harness version installed

๐Ÿค– Full agent setup prompt (copy-paste this into Claude Code for maximum control)

First, open Claude Code or Codex with your project folder as the working directory (launch it from inside the project, or cd there first). The harness installs into the current directory, so this must be your project โ€” then paste the prompt below.

First, install the vibecode-pro-max-kit agent harness by running this command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/withkynam/vibecode-pro-max-kit/main/install.sh | bash

After the install completes, run vc-setup to configure everything for this project.

Follow the full interactive flow:

1. DETECT โ€” Read package.json, detect my stack (framework, package manager, monorepo
   structure, test framework, database, auth). Also check if I have any existing .claude/,
   process/, or context files from a previous setup.

2. SHOW ME WHAT YOU FOUND โ€” Present a summary of the detection results and wait for me
   to confirm before continuing. If this is an existing project with process/ folders or
   context files, tell me what you found and what looks good vs what could be improved.

3. ASK ME ABOUT THE PROJECT โ€” Before scaffolding or scanning, have a real conversation
   with me about this project. Don't just ask a fixed list of questions and move on โ€” ask
   follow-ups based on my answers, probe deeper on anything vague, and keep going until
   you genuinely understand the project. Start with the basics (what is this? who uses it?),
   then dig into architecture, features, conventions, pain points, and anything else that
   matters. Summarize your understanding back to me and confirm it's correct before moving on.

4. SCAFFOLD โ€” Create the process/ directory structure. If I already have process/ folders,
   show me what you plan to change and wait for my approval before reorganizing anything.
   Never silently move or delete my existing files.

5. STUDY โ€” Deep-scan the codebase and populate process/context/all-context.md with REAL
   content based on what you find AND what I told you. Include: repo structure, tech stack
   with versions, key patterns and conventions, import aliases, env vars, API routes,
   database schema, test setup. Do not leave placeholder text.

6. VALIDATE โ€” Run all the validation checks to make sure everything is wired correctly.

Important rules:
- If I have existing context files or a well-written CLAUDE.md, read them first and
  preserve what is good. Merge intelligently โ€” do not replace good content with generic scans.
- Show me a summary of what you plan to create or change at each major step and wait
  for my OK before proceeding.
- Do not create empty placeholder files. Only create files that have real content.
- Ask before reorganizing. If my existing setup works, tell me what you would improve
  and let me decide.

Table of Contents

๐Ÿ”ฅ The Problem

You ask Claude to "add webhook support." It immediately starts writing code. No questions about your architecture. No check on existing patterns. No plan. You get 400 lines that don't fit your codebase, and you spend an hour fixing it.

But that's just the surface. The deeper problems hit harder:

๐Ÿง 

Context dies every session

Your agent forgets everything it learned. Same mistakes, same questions, every time. No memory, no compounding knowledge.

๐Ÿ“„

Docs go stale instantly

You wrote great context docs last week. They're already outdated. Nothing auto-updates them as the codebase evolves.

๐Ÿ’ฅ

Big tasks collapse mid-way

Context window fills up, state is lost, the agent starts hallucinating. You restart from scratch on hour 3.

๐Ÿค

No specs, no review, no collaboration

Your PM can't review what the agent is about to build. There's no artifact to share, discuss, or approve before code is written.

๐ŸŽญ

Architecture decisions are hallucinated

The agent invents patterns instead of researching how other codebases solved the same problem.

Your agent has intelligence but no process, no memory, and no way to collaborate with your team.

Whether you're a developer, a PM, or a CEO who just started vibe coding โ€” this problem hits everyone the same way. The fix is the same too: give your agent a real development process.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ The Fix

This harness installs a complete development system into your project โ€” not just a CLAUDE.md file, but 12 specialized agents, 31 skills, and a phase-locked workflow that forces your agent to understand before it builds.


๐Ÿ“‹

Spec-driven plans

PMs and devs review the same plan artifact before any code is written

๐Ÿ”„

Self-improving context

Auto-updates every time a feature ships โ€” docs never go stale

โšก

Autonomous execution

Survives context compaction โ€” runs for hours, not minutes

๐Ÿงฌ

Architecture research

Studies real codebases before making design decisions

๐Ÿงญ

Smart context routing

Loads only what's relevant โ€” not your entire knowledge base every time

The Vibe Coding Revolution

"The hottest new programming language is English."

โ€” Andrej Karpathy

Vibe coding changed who can build software. Spec-driven development changes what they can ship.

63%

of vibe coding users are NOT developers

16.2M

citizen developers worldwide
(38% YoY growth)

$4.7B

vibe coding market
growing 38% annually

25%

of YC W25 startups had 95%+ AI-generated codebases

Most tools help you start a project. This harness helps you finish it โ€” with plans your team can review, context that never goes stale, and safety systems that catch mistakes before they ship.


Who Is This For?

"The point isn't who typed it. It's what shipped."

โ€” Garry Tan, YC

Whether you just discovered vibe coding or you're a staff engineer shipping production systems โ€” this harness adapts to your workflow.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ผ

CEO / Founder

"Build me a SaaS with auth, billing, and a landing page"

The agent researches your stack, writes an architecture plan you can review, implements with tests, and captures every decision for your technical co-founder to audit later.

๐Ÿ“Š

Product Manager

"Create a dashboard showing MRR, churn, and growth metrics"

It generates a PRD-style spec, gets your approval before writing code, implements to spec, and archives the plan as searchable project history.

๐ŸŽจ

Designer

"Match this Figma screenshot pixel-perfect"

The design-aware agent analyzes your mockup, implements component-by-component with your design tokens, and spawns visual comparison checks.

โš™๏ธ

Engineer

"Refactor the auth module to support RBAC with zero downtime"

It researches your current auth code and how other codebases solved RBAC, writes a migration plan with blast radius analysis, implements safely with rollback notes.

๐Ÿ’Ž Why Teams Use This

Most harnesses give you a CLAUDE.md and instructions. This gives you an autonomous development system that compounds intelligence over time.


๐Ÿ“‹ Spec-Driven Development โ€” Not Vibes-Driven

Every feature gets a written plan with blast radius analysis before a single line of code is written.

๐Ÿ’ก Auto-generates PRDs, manages backlogs, organizes feature groups. Works for both developers and product managers โ€” your agent plans like a senior engineer, not an intern.

What's in every plan:

Section Purpose
๐Ÿ“ Touchpoints Every file that will be created or modified, listed upfront
๐Ÿ“œ Public contracts What API surfaces or interfaces change
๐Ÿ’ฅ Blast radius What could break, what tests to run, what to watch
โœ… Verification evidence How to prove the implementation is correct
๐Ÿ”„ Resume handoff Enough context for any agent to pick up mid-plan

๐Ÿ”„ Autonomous Multi-Phase Execution โ€” Hours of Hands-Free Work

For large tasks, the agent runs an iterative phased loop:

๐Ÿ” research โ†’ โšก execute โ†’ โœ… validate โ†’ ๐Ÿ“„ report โ†’ ๐Ÿ”„ repeat

๐Ÿ’ก It self-heals when stuck, self-reflects to improve approach, and writes durable progress reports to disk. Context compaction can't kill it โ€” all state lives in files, not memory.

Walk away and come back to completed work.


๐Ÿงฌ Auto-Architecture Research โ€” Learn From Any Codebase

The agent doesn't just read your code โ€” it studies other repositories to learn how they solved similar problems (vc-xia).

๐Ÿ’ก It researches, compares approaches, and adapts the best patterns into your codebase. Architecture decisions are informed by real-world implementations, not hallucinated best practices.


๐Ÿงญ Persistent Smart Context Routing โ€” Always the Right Context

Context isn't one giant file. It's organized into auto-routed knowledge domains:

process/context/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ all-context.md              # ๐Ÿงญ Root router โ€” reads your task, loads what's relevant
โ”œโ”€โ”€ tests/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-tests.md            # ๐Ÿงช Test runners, commands, debugging
โ”œโ”€โ”€ container/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-container.md        # ๐Ÿณ Docker, deployment, infra
โ”œโ”€โ”€ uxui/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-uxui.md             # ๐ŸŽจ Components, design tokens, patterns
โ””โ”€โ”€ {your-domain}/
    โ””โ”€โ”€ all-{domain}.md         # ๐Ÿ“š Any domain with 3+ durable docs

๐Ÿ’ก When the agent works on billing, it loads billing context โ€” not your entire codebase docs. Context auto-updates every time you complete a feature, so it never goes stale.


๐Ÿง  Self-Improving Knowledge Base โ€” Gets Smarter as You Ship

Every completed feature feeds learnings back into the context system.

๐Ÿ’ก Research findings, architectural decisions, debugging insights, and coding patterns are captured and indexed automatically. Your 100th feature benefits from everything learned in the first 99. The knowledge compounds โ€” it doesn't reset.


How This Compares

Feature vibecode-pro-max-kit Superpowers GSD gstack
Spec-driven lifecycle Full RIPER-5 (research โ†’ plan โ†’ execute โ†’ verify) Mandatory workflows Context-rot fix Partial
Phase-locked safety Tool restrictions per mode (read-only research, no-write innovate) Skill-based constraints Phase separation None
Multi-tool support 7 tools via AGENTS.md + native Claude Code plugin 14 runtimes 1 tool
Auto-improving context Domain-routed context groups, updates after every feature Plugin memory Disk-persisted state Manual
Team collaboration Shared specs, plans, and review artifacts Solo Solo Solo
Skills system 32 auto-discovered, keyword-matched at every prompt 86 composable skills Meta-prompting 23 role tools
Multi-phase programs Umbrella plans + phase-by-phase execution loop with regression checks Single task Single task Single task
Quality pipeline 6-step chain (code-review โ†’ test โ†’ simplify โ†’ security โ†’ audit โ†’ commit) Per-skill quality No auto-chain No auto-chain
Installation 30-second curl install + auto-setup Plugin marketplace npx one-liner git clone
Context routing Domain-based routing table with grouped context packs Flat skill context Flat context Single file

On runtime breadth: GSD supports 14 runtimes. We support 7 deeply โ€” with full agent harnesses, skill discovery, and lifecycle hooks on every platform. Breadth vs. depth: your choice.


โšก What Makes This Different

Most agent harnesses give you a big CLAUDE.md and some instructions. Here's what this one actually does:


๐Ÿ”’

Phase-Locked Tool Restrictions

Your agent literally cannot write code during research. RESEARCH is read-only, INNOVATE has no Bash, PLAN can only write to process/. Actual capability removal, not suggestions.

๐ŸŽฏ

Smart Auto-Routing

Detects your intent from natural language. "build webhook support" โ†’ full pipeline. "login is broken" โ†’ debugger. 6-level precedence, one clarifying question max.

๐Ÿ”

Automatic Skill Discovery

Before routing any request, scans 32 skills and matches keywords. Say "add webhook support" and vc-security + vc-scenario surface automatically.

๐Ÿ’พ

Survives Context Compaction

Plans, reports, context docs, and learnings all live on disk. The session-init hook re-injects approval gates after compaction. Nothing is lost.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Self-Policing Violation Detection

When the agent is about to cross a phase boundary, it stops itself: "PHASE JUMPING PREVENTED". A structural hallucination guard.

๐Ÿ”„

Works Across 7 AI Coding Tools

Two open standards โ€” AGENTS.md and SKILL.md โ€” mean zero adapters, zero plugins, zero configuration. Start in Claude Code, switch to Cursor, continue in Codex.

๐Ÿงญ How It Works

Your request
  โ†’ Step 0: Skill Discovery (match keywords โ†’ surface relevant skills)
  โ†’ Intent Detection (feature / bug / question / refactor / UI)
  โ†’ Route to the right agent
  โ†’ Phase-locked execution with explicit transitions

The orchestrator never does the work itself โ€” it routes, monitors, and manages transitions.


๐Ÿ“Š The Workflow

Phase What happens You say
๐Ÿ” RESEARCH Read-only fact gathering โ€” codebase + web (automatic on feature requests)
๐Ÿ’ก INNOVATE Explore 2-3 approaches with trade-offs go
๐Ÿ“‹ PLAN Write a detailed spec you can review go
โšก EXECUTE Implement exactly what was planned ENTER EXECUTE MODE
๐Ÿง  UPDATE PROCESS Capture learnings, update context, archive plan (recommended after non-trivial work)

๐Ÿ’ก Shortcuts: ENTER FAST MODE - [task] compresses RESEARCH+INNOVATE+PLAN into one pass โ€” still pauses before EXECUTE. Trivial fixes (single file, <15 lines, no schema/auth changes) skip straight to execute.


๐Ÿ’ป Typical Session

# ๐Ÿ†• Feature request
You: "add webhook support to the API"
โ†’ Skill discovery surfaces: vc-scenario, vc-security
โ†’ research-agent gathers context (read-only, can't touch code)

โ†’ Agent iterates: make change โ†’ commit โ†’ measure โ†’ keep/revert
โ†’ Stuck detection after 5 consecutive discards โ†’ strategy shift
โ†’ Full audit trail in TSV

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Built-in Safety Systems

These aren't just guidelines โ€” they're structural enforcement built into every agent.

โธ๏ธ

50% Mid-Implementation Check-In

At approximately halfway through execution, the agent pauses to report progress, list completed and remaining items, and asks: "Continue with current approach or pause and return to PLAN?"

๐Ÿšซ

Never Silently Deviate

If the execute-agent hits a problem requiring deviation from the plan, it immediately stops, explains the issue, and returns to PLAN mode. No quiet improvising.

๐Ÿ”™

Approach Abandonment Protocol

When an approach fails, the agent evaluates reusable components, documents lessons before deletion, creates an abandonment summary, and returns to PLAN.

๐Ÿ”

Privacy Guardrails Hook

The agent is blocked from reading .env, credentials, SSH keys, and .pem files. Must ask for explicit approval.

โš ๏ธ

High-Risk Evidence Packs

For changes touching auth, billing, schema migrations, or public APIs โ€” the system requires a formal evidence pack before calling work "done."

๐Ÿ“Š

Drift Signal Scoring

After execution, the system scores urgency: LOW (light touch), MEDIUM (significant changes), HIGH (harness/protocol files touched).

๐Ÿ” Pre-Implementation Intelligence

Before a single line of code is written, the system can catch issues through specialized analysis:


๐ŸŽญ

5-Persona Pre-Implementation Debate

vc-predict โ€” Architect, Security, Performance, UX, and Devil's Advocate debate your plan. Produces a GO / CAUTION / STOP verdict before you write a line of code.

๐ŸŽฒ

12-Dimension Edge Case Generator

vc-scenario โ€” Decomposes any feature across 12 dimensions (user types, input extremes, timing, scale, state, env, errors, auth, data, integrations, compliance, business logic). Outputs usable as test specs.

๐Ÿ”

STRIDE + OWASP Security Audit

vc-security โ€” Dual-methodology security audit with dependency auditing, secret detection, and auto-fix mode that sorts by severity and fixes Critical first with regression guards.

๐Ÿค– Autonomous Agent Capabilities


๐Ÿ”„

Autonomous Metric Optimization

vc-autoresearch โ€” Set a goal, walk away. Iterative git-backed loop: make ONE atomic change โ†’ commit โ†’ measure โ†’ keep or revert. Stuck detection after 5 consecutive discards triggers strategy shifts.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Parallel Agent Teams

vc-team โ€” Multiple agents working simultaneously with git worktree isolation. Research in parallel, execute in parallel, review in parallel, debug adversarially.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Evidence-Before-Hypothesis Debugging

vc-debugger โ€” Gathers evidence first โ†’ forms 2-3 competing hypotheses โ†’ systematically tests each โ†’ documents elimination path. Never guesses โ€” proves.

โœ… Quality Pipeline โ€” Built Into Execution

The execute-agent doesn't just write code and call it done. It auto-chains through a quality pipeline:

โœจ Simplifier Clarity refactoring after review passes โ€” no behavior changes
๐Ÿ“ฆ Git manager Receives touched_files list, splits into logical conventional commits, refuses unknown files

๐Ÿ“‹ The Plan Lifecycle โ€” Spec-Driven, Not Vibes-Driven

Every non-trivial feature follows a plan lifecycle โ€” a written spec that is created, reviewed, executed against, and archived as project history.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Phase Programs โ€” Large Projects That Don't Fall Apart

Normal features use one plan. Large multi-phase projects use a phase program โ€” an umbrella plan plus individual phase plans, each with its own validation gate.

Key features:

Feature Why it matters
๐Ÿ”„ Re-research at every phase Checks for code drift, reads latest reports, updates assumptions
โœ… Validation gates Phase isn't VERIFIED until evidence proves it. Honest status: PLANNED โ†’ CODE DONE โ†’ TESTING โ†’ VERIFIED or BLOCKED
๐Ÿ“„ Durable reports Every phase writes results to disk. Progress survives context compaction
๐Ÿง  Learnings feed forward Phase 1 discoveries update Phase 2's plan before execution
๐Ÿ—๏ธ Foundation vs expansion Explicitly splits "prove the architecture" from "implement everything"
๐Ÿšง Honest blocker handling Blocked phases stay BLOCKED with evidence. No forcing green status

๐Ÿง  Context Groups โ€” Organized Knowledge, Not One Giant File

Project knowledge is organized into context groups โ€” durable knowledge domains, each with an all-{group}.md router that tells agents what to read and when.


process/context/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ all-context.md              # ๐Ÿงญ Root router โ€” architecture, stack, patterns, conventions
โ”œโ”€โ”€ tests/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-tests.md            # ๐Ÿงช Test runners, commands, debugging procedures
โ”œโ”€โ”€ container/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-container.md        # ๐Ÿณ Docker, deployment, infra procedures
โ”œโ”€โ”€ uxui/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-uxui.md             # ๐ŸŽจ Components, design tokens, patterns
โ”œโ”€โ”€ infra/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-infra.md            # ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Worker nodes, provisioning, DNS
โ”œโ”€โ”€ skills/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-skills.md           # โšก Skill runtime, app architecture
โ”œโ”€โ”€ workflows/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ all-workflows.md        # ๐Ÿ”„ Workflow runtime, deployment
โ””โ”€โ”€ {your-domain}/
    โ””โ”€โ”€ all-{domain}.md         # ๐Ÿ“š Any knowledge domain with 3+ durable docs

How it works
๐Ÿงญ Router pattern Agents read only what's relevant to their task, not everything
๐Ÿ“ Auto-promotion Topics with 3+ docs or 800+ lines get their own context group
๐Ÿ”„ Living docs Updated by update-process-agent after every non-trivial feature
๐Ÿงช Auditable vc-audit-context verifies routing and consistency

๐Ÿ“ Feature Folders โ€” Self-Organizing Project Memory

When a topic accumulates 5+ artifacts, it gets its own feature folder โ€” a complete lifecycle container.


process/features/{feature}/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ active/       # ๐Ÿ“‹ Plans currently being worked on
โ”œโ”€โ”€ completed/    # โœ… Archived plans (searchable decision history)
โ”œโ”€โ”€ backlog/      # ๐Ÿ“Œ Deferred work (agents check before duplicating)
โ”œโ”€โ”€ reports/      # ๐Ÿ“„ Execution reports, post-mortems, validation results
โ””โ”€โ”€ references/   # ๐Ÿ“š Research outputs that inform future decisions

What happens
๐Ÿ†• New work starts in active/ โ†’ reports accumulate โ†’ plan archives to completed/
๐Ÿ“Œ Deferred work goes to backlog/ โ€” agents check it before creating duplicate plans
๐Ÿ“ฆ Feature promotion happens automatically when general artifacts hit 5+
๐Ÿ” Every feature has complete, self-contained history โ€” plans, decisions, reports, research

๐Ÿค– What's Inside


12 Agents

Click to expand agent list (12 agents)

Core workflow agents โ€” one per RIPER-5 phase:

Agent Role
๐Ÿ” vc-research-agent Codebase + web research, read-only. Contradiction tracking built in
๐Ÿ’ก vc-innovate-agent Brainstorm 2-3 approaches. Must produce decision summary before PLAN
๐Ÿ“‹ vc-plan-agent Write spec with anti-rationalization guards. "I already know how" is not a plan
โšก vc-execute-agent Implement per plan. 50% check-in, deviation protocol, self-review
โฉ vc-fast-mode-agent Compressed RESEARCHโ†’INNOVATEโ†’PLAN with mandatory safety pause
๐Ÿง  vc-update-process-agent 7-phase mandatory checklist including stale artifact scanning

Specialist agents โ€” called during EXECUTE or standalone:

Agent Role
๐Ÿ› vc-debugger Evidence-before-hypothesis. Competing hypotheses, elimination chains
๐Ÿงช vc-tester Diff-aware. Only runs affected tests. Auto-escalates on config changes
๐Ÿ”Ž vc-code-reviewer Edge case scout BEFORE review. N+1 detection, auth path validation
โœจ vc-code-simplifier Clarity refactoring without behavior change
๐ŸŽจ vc-ui-ux-designer Design-aware frontend. Can spawn research subagent mid-execution
๐Ÿ“ฆ vc-git-manager Logical commit splitting from touched_files. Refuses unknown files

๐Ÿช 7 Hooks

Hook What it does
๐Ÿ” Privacy guardrails Blocks .env, credentials, SSH keys. Requires explicit approval
๐Ÿšซ Scout blocker Prevents agent from wandering into node_modules/, dist/. Gitignore-syntax .ckignore
๐Ÿง  Session init Detects stack, injects env vars, recovers approval gates after compaction
๐Ÿ’‰ Subagent context Injects ~200 token compact context block into every subagent
โœจ Edit quality After 5+ edits, nudges to run code-simplifier (non-blocking, throttled)
๐Ÿ“› Descriptive naming Language-aware file naming conventions on every Write
๐Ÿ“Š Usage tracking Session metrics and token awareness
