Guides

Guides are end-to-end recipes for workflows that combine several Flux capabilities. They assume you have completed Your First Repository Task.

For a single command or feature, use Workflows, Features, or Reference instead. Keeping those explanations in one place prevents the same setup and command details from drifting across multiple pages.

The examples use quora/model-deprecation-tracker↗, but the patterns apply to other repositories.

#Choose a guide

When you need to…	Guide
Reduce elapsed time for independent reads and checks	Run Tools in Parallel
Delegate independent investigations	Coordinate Parallel Subagents
Build and improve a repeatable procedure	Author and Evolve a Skill
Combine reusable policy, direct tools, and delegation	Compose Agents, Skills, and Tools
Repeat work on an interval, file change, or schedule	Automate with Loops, Watch, and Schedules
Carry durable knowledge across conversations	Use Memory Across Sessions
Connect an external tool or data source	Connect an MCP Server
Add a local JavaScript tool	Create a Local Plugin
Operate a multi-phase task with checkpoints	Operate a Long-Running Task

Start with the narrowest guide that matches your task. Add subagents, automation, or extension points only when the work has a clear independent boundary or will be repeated.
