Every feature, grouped by the work you do

ctxflows is the context layer and the workflows for agent-built software.

Plan the work, write it down and build with agents: each page below explains one part, and how it works with the others.

Plan the work

For founders and product managers who decide what gets built, in which order, and what it costs.

Write it down

For everyone who writes down what the product must do, and for the agents that read it.

Build with agents

For engineers who run coding agents and want every agent to follow the same workflows and rules.

How the pieces fit

A goal on your roadmap ends as a change your engine lands, and each piece on the way hands the next one what it needs.

  1. A goal

    Sits on the roadmap in the order you set, with what done means written beside it.

    Roadmap
  2. Its milestones

    Break the goal into steps you can check, each with the items that deliver it.

    Roadmap
  3. An item on a board

    Each piece of work is an item of one of your record types, in the column of its status.

    Boards
  4. Its column starts a workflow

    When an item reaches a column, the workflow attached to that column starts a run for it.

    Workflows
  5. Nodes produce outputs

    Agent nodes write what the workflow asks of them, such as a plan, a record or check results, and loop until the checks pass.

  6. Approvals wait for you

    An approval node holds the run until a person decides: approve it, or send the work back.

    Runs & actions
  7. The journal records it

    Every step and every change is recorded: who made it, when and why.

    Memory & search
  8. The engine lands the change

    On your machine or server, as a branch to review or landed one change at a time with your checks.

    Engine

The engine: unattended runs on your machine or server

The engine is the free runner that starts your coding agents on your machine or server and takes ready work through its workflow while you're away.

Connect any coding agent over MCP. Install the free engine to run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI or Grok unattended, or mix them per task.

What lives where

In ctxflows: roadmap, boards, docs, library, terms, datasets, workflows, runs and the journal of every change. On your machine or server: your code, credentials, agent sessions and transcripts. Export everything as plain files at any time.

  • Your code

    Your code never enters ctxflows.

  • Your decisions

    A person decides what is built and whether it was met.

  • Your agents

    ctxflows runs no coding agent: your code is built by your agents on your machine. The built-in assistant works only on your project's record.

  • Your rules

    Each agent can do only what you allow, and every change is recorded: who made it, when and why.

Start with the part you need most

Every feature works with the coding agents you already use.
