Dev Flow Project Status
August 31, 2026 · View on GitHub
Last reviewed: August 31, 2026.
Dev Flow is an early open-source project with real published packages and real Host journeys. This page separates three different kinds of evidence:
- stable product evidence — a registry package completed the release and Host lifecycle gates;
- preview/source evidence — newer behavior exists in npm
betaor onmain; - adoption evidence — external users, contributors, and dependent projects.
The first two exist today. External adoption is still early and is not overstated here.
Stable support
@latest selects the stable packages below.
| Product | Verified environment |
|---|---|
dev-flow-codex | macOS arm64, Node.js >=24, Codex >=0.147.0 |
dev-flow-deepseek | macOS arm64, Node.js >=24, DSH >=0.1.0-rc.6 |
@imotong/dev-flow | macOS arm64, Node.js >=20 |
Stable claims come from registry-package installation, Host/Core handshake, removal, uninstallation,
and repository-unchanged gates. The DeepSeek stable journey also covers explicit activation,
restart recovery, DONE, and retained reopen. See the Support Matrix for
exact Releases and artifact identities.
Current source
| Product | Current capabilities |
|---|---|
dev-flow-codex | smart selection, setup, Plugin/MCP registration, multi-repository Task Scope, explicit parallel-batch routing, and one-worktree Task dispatch when a new request meets ACTIVE_TASK_CONFLICT |
dev-flow-deepseek | DSH bundle, explicit activation, and multi-repository Task Scope |
@imotong/dev-flow | unified Adapter lifecycle and local Control Center launcher; Control Center displays logical repository groups and physical worktrees |
Current source also includes the shared local WebUI embedded in Core, exposed through
dev-flow webui start|open|status|stop|reset. Passing source tests alone does not expand platform or
Host support; public support still depends on registry-package read-back and a final Host journey.
Evidence map
| Entry point | Question it can answer |
|---|---|
| Codex multi-repository Attempt 7 | Can two independent Codex sessions resume the same Task from an additional repository? |
| DeepSeek multi-repository Attempt 5 | Did a real DSH journey complete multi-repository work, restart recovery, targeted verification, comprehension, and DONE? |
| PR #8 | Did a real Codex graph journey cover refactoring, retesting, comprehension acceptance, and delivery? |
| Support Matrix | Which public stable packages and Host environments have final-artifact evidence? |
| Release directory | How do maintainers build, read back, and publish immutable artifacts? |
Current limitations
- Stable support is macOS arm64 only; there is no Linux, Windows, Intel Mac, Rosetta, or remote MCP claim.
- The project is young, so external Issues, pull requests, dependent projects, and long-term adoption evidence remain limited.
- Core is not a Host sandbox and does not intercept every Host file operation or shell command.
- Explicit parallel batches and single-Task dispatch after
ACTIVE_TASK_CONFLICTboth depend on a Host-provided worktree-backed task/thread capability. Without it, users start another worktree themselves, and these source capabilities do not yet have a final-artifact Journey claim. - There is currently no telemetry, user-defined graph, or automatic historical Task migration; the WebUI is local loopback only and provides no remote access.
