How to

Inspect workflow gates

List, validate, export, or select lifecycle presets.

What changes

flow explains the lifecycle gates for this workflow, from basic tracking through full delivery with planning, approval, implementation, validation, and PR handoff.

When this helps

A team needs to know which gates a repo uses.
A repo should switch from one flow preset to another.
An AI assistant needs the flow definition in JSON for planning.

Run this command

terminal

$sumr mission flow list# available presets$sumr mission flow show# current flow$sumr mission flow use standard-delivery# select preset$sumr mission flow export --json# machine-readable flow

Flags you can use

--json

Return a structured JSON envelope for scripts, CI jobs, and AI assistants.

--help, -h

Show the command syntax, supported flags, and examples without changing files.

Keep in mind

Flow subcommands are positionals under sumr mission flow, not separate top-level commands.
Choose the smallest flow that still protects approval, validation, and handoff for the work.
