SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Executing complex multi-agent workflows can be opaque and difficult to manage, especially when errors occur or human intervention is needed. This Skill provides real-time visualization, interactive steering at checkpoints, and robust error recovery, making workflow execution transparent and fully controllable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time Visualization: See your workflow graph and progress updates as agents execute, providing immediate clarity on complex processes.
  • Interactive Steering: Pause at checkpoints (@review) to make critical decisions, retry steps, modify instructions, or abort, giving you full control over the workflow's direction.
  • Graceful Error Recovery: If an agent fails, receive clear options to retry with the same or modified instructions, skip the step, or abort, preventing workflow halts.
  • Automated Cleanup: Ensures all temporary files (scripts, agents, state) are deleted after every execution, maintaining a clean and efficient plugin workspace.
  • Use Case: Execute a deployment pipeline that includes security scans and manual approval. If the security scan fails, the Skill will pause, offer options to fix and retry, or proceed with a fallback plan.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute multi-step workflows with real-time control and visibility?

Execute workflows by defining tasks using arrow syntax (sequential ->, parallel ||, or conditional ~>) and checkpoint markers (@review). The Skill validates your syntax, visualizes the workflow graph in ASCII, runs agents in the specified order, pauses at checkpoints for steering, and tracks progress in real time.

What happens if an agent fails during workflow execution?

When an agent fails, the Skill pauses and presents recovery options: retry with the same instructions, retry with modified instructions, skip the step, or abort the workflow. This prevents halts and keeps you in control of error resolution.

Can I pause a workflow mid-execution to make decisions or modify steps?

Yes. Use checkpoint markers (@review) to pause at critical points in your workflow. When paused, you can inspect progress, retry steps with new instructions, change direction, or proceed forward with full interactive control.

How do checkpoints and conditional branches improve workflow reliability?

Checkpoints enable manual intervention for approval gates and decision points, while conditional branches (~>) route execution based on outcomes. Together they provide both human oversight and automated branching logic, supporting complex approval pipelines and adaptive workflows.

What cleanup happens after workflow execution completes?

The Skill automatically deletes all temporary files, scripts, agent instances, and execution state from the workspace after every run. This maintains a clean environment and prevents leftover artifacts from consuming resources.

Can I run tasks in parallel within a single workflow?

Yes. Use the parallel operator (||) to execute multiple tasks concurrently instead of sequentially. The Skill manages parallel execution and synchronization, allowing you to optimize workflows that have independent, non-blocking steps.
