FAQPage Schema

How do I retry a blocked or failed task in an agent-team workflow?▼

Reset blocked, in_progress, or failed tasks to pending by running the agent-team task retry command with the specific task ID and a reason. This clears previous execution metadata to ensure a clean slate for the next attempt.

What task states can be reset to pending for another attempt?▼

Tasks currently marked as blocked, in_progress, or failed can be validated and reset to pending. This state transition allows stalled work within the agent-team workflow to re-enter the processing queue for re-execution.

How do I clear retry metadata like blocked_reason when resetting a task?▼

Resetting a task to pending automatically clears retry-specific fields such as evidence, artifact, blocked_reason, and started_version. This ensures the task starts fresh without leftover data from the previous stalled execution attempt.

Does the agent-team task retry command require a reason for state transition?▼

Yes, the agent-team task retry command requires a reason argument to record the retry rationale in event logs. This maintains traceability of decisions and outcomes for workflow error recovery.

Do I need the agent-team binary to reset failed workflow tasks?▼

Yes, the agent-team binary is required to reset failed workflow tasks. The skill integrates directly with the agent-team CLI to automate error recovery and validate allowed source states during the task retry process.
