Guides
Problem-oriented, task-focused recipes for getting specific things done with insight-flow. These assume you've already been through Getting Started and want to solve a concrete problem.
Recipes
Extend the agents for your stack
- Wire up PR creation for your git host — configure
agents.extend.task-gitso/task-gitopens PRs/MRs viagh/glab(or a prefill URL). - Add your stack's quality gates — make
/task-implementand/task-review-fixrun your typecheck / lint / test before marking work done, viaagents.extend.
Customize the composition model
- Author a custom module — write a
custom:<slug>module (section / include / mcp-server / hook / skill / bundle) in user space. - Compose a custom agent — build an agent from module ids
and generate its role file with
prompt-build --compose. - Define a custom flow — declare a lifecycle (agents, edges, statuses, entry agents) and bind task types to it.
- Install & uninstall modules — run a target's install
plan, fill
${VAR}inputs, and roll changes back via the manifest.
Operate insight-flow
- Run the multi-project master — track several insight-flow projects from one overview server on port 6100.
- Upgrade from 1.x to 2.0 — migrate the layout and the composition model.
Troubleshooting & operations
- Troubleshooting & FAQ — problem → fix entries: ports,
stale dashboards, the old
workTasks/layout, skipped agent steps, suppressing the browser, and recovering a stuck master. - Using insight-flow with Cursor — scaffold the Cursor skills,
hooks, and
AGENTS.md, read thecursorprovider badge, and understand the cloud-agent / approval-gate caveats. - Set up observability (Langfuse) — opt into Langfuse tracing, resolve credentials config-first then env, and see what gets traced.
In the meantime
- Configuration documents every
taskflow.config.jsonkey, includingagents.extendandflows. - The CLI reference covers each command's flags.
- Agents describes each slash command's role.
