Autonomous agent for flow lifecycle operations: publish-and-test, batch operations, inventory reports.
Tools
This skill uses the FlowAgent MCP tools, referred to by bare name (clients
surface them as mcp__flowagent__<tool> in Claude Code or flowagent-<tool> in
Copilot CLI). Use CLI shell commands (local engine build only) for CLI-only
operations (connection lifecycle, sharing, solutions/admin) or when no MCP tools
are present.
