Usage

text
1/qa 2/qa --start 3/qa --stop 4/qa --restart
  • /qa — show dev mode status, then prompt for next action
  • /qa --start — nuke cache, switch marketplace to local source, create .dev-mode marker
  • /qa --stop — nuke cache, restore production marketplace, remove .dev-mode marker
  • /qa --restart — nuke cache, re-register local source, refresh cache (must already be in dev mode)

Flag: --start

Step 1 — Check dev mode

Use the Read tool to check if .flow-states/.dev-mode exists.

If it exists, print "Already in dev mode. Use /qa --stop to exit." and stop.

Step 2 — Nuke cache and switch to local source

Get the project root from git worktree list --porcelain (first worktree line).

Run:

bash
1rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/flow-marketplace

Then:

bash
1claude plugin marketplace add <project_root>

Then:

bash
1claude plugin marketplace update flow-marketplace

Step 3 — Create dev mode marker

Use the Write tool to create .flow-states/.dev-mode with the content active.

Step 4 — Announce

Print inside a fenced code block:

markdown
1```text 2============================================ 3 FLOW QA — DEV MODE ACTIVE 4============================================ 5```

Then print:

Plugin cache now contains local source.

Open a new Claude Code session in a target project to test. Run /qa --stop when done.

Flag: --restart

Step 1 — Check dev mode

Use the Read tool to check if .flow-states/.dev-mode exists.

If it does not exist, run the --start flow instead (skip to the --start section above).

Step 2 — Nuke cache and re-register local source

Get the project root from git worktree list --porcelain (first worktree line).

Run:

bash
1rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/flow-marketplace

Then:

bash
1claude plugin marketplace add <project_root>

Then:

bash
1claude plugin marketplace update flow-marketplace

Step 3 — Announce

Print inside a fenced code block:

markdown
1```text 2============================================ 3 FLOW QA — Cache refreshed 4============================================ 5```

Then print:

Plugin cache updated from local source.

Open a new Claude Code session in a target project to test.

Flag: --stop

Step 1 — Check dev mode

Use the Read tool to check if .flow-states/.dev-mode exists.

If it does not exist, print "Not in dev mode. Nothing to stop." and stop.

Step 2 — Nuke cache and restore production marketplace

Run:

bash
1rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/flow-marketplace

Then:

bash
1claude plugin marketplace add benkruger/flow

Then:

bash
1claude plugin marketplace update flow-marketplace

Step 3 — Remove dev mode marker

Use Bash to remove the marker:

bash
1rm .flow-states/.dev-mode

Step 4 — Report

Print inside a fenced code block:

markdown
1```text 2============================================ 3 FLOW QA — Dev mode stopped 4============================================ 5```

No flag (bare /qa)

Check if .flow-states/.dev-mode exists using the Read tool.

If dev mode is active, print inside a fenced code block:

markdown
1```text 2============================================ 3 FLOW QA — Dev mode: ACTIVE 4 Plugin cache is using local source. 5============================================ 6```

Then use AskUserQuestion:

"What would you like to do?"

  • Restart QA — refresh cache from local source
  • Stop QA — restore production marketplace

Then invoke the chosen flag (--restart or --stop).

If dev mode is not active, print inside a fenced code block:

markdown
1```text 2============================================ 3 FLOW QA — Dev mode: INACTIVE 4 Plugin cache is using production source. 5============================================ 6```

Then use AskUserQuestion:

"Start QA dev mode?"

  • Yes, start — runs /qa --start
  • No, cancel — stop

Then invoke --start if chosen.
