SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive guide to configuring every aspect of workflow steps, ensuring you can precisely define how your AI agents perform tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Action Type Selection: Understand when to use agent.run for single-agent tasks versus agent.session for coordinated multi-agent efforts.
  • Parameter Configuration: Learn the exact parameters for actions like git.clone, repo.identify, and ci.executeWorkflow.
  • Workflow & Step Settings: Master global settings like priority and timeoutMs, and step-specific limits like stepMaxDurationMinutes.
  • Use Case: When building a new playbook, you need to clone a specific repository and then have an agent analyze its code. This Skill helps you correctly configure the git.clone and agent.run steps with the right parameters and instructions.

Quick Start

Use the step actions reference skill to understand how to configure the git.clone action with specific cloneOptions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure AI agent workflow steps for deterministic execution?

To configure AI agent workflow steps for deterministic execution, define specific action types and parameters such as `agent.run` for single-agent tasks, apply global settings like `priority`, and set limits like `stepMaxDurationMinutes`.

What's the difference between agent.run and agent.session when building automated workflows?

In automated workflows, `agent.run` handles single-agent task execution, while `agent.session` coordinates multi-agent efforts. Selecting the correct action type ensures your AI agents perform tasks with the right scope and parameters.

How do I use git.clone and repo.identify in a CI/CD workflow?

To use `git.clone` and `repo.identify` in a CI/CD workflow, configure the specific `cloneOptions` and repository parameters before executing subsequent steps like `ci.executeWorkflow` for continuous integration.

Can I set execution timeouts and priority limits for AI agent tasks?

Yes, you can set execution timeouts and priority limits for AI agent tasks using workflow-level settings like `priority` and `timeoutMs`, alongside step-specific constraints such as `stepMaxDurationMinutes`.

What are the limitations when configuring multi-agent sessions in CI pipelines?

Limitations when configuring multi-agent sessions in CI pipelines include step duration constraints like `stepMaxDurationMinutes` and global timeout settings, which bound execution time and require precise parameter configuration to avoid failures.

Does Step Actions Reference provide documentation for all Overcut workflow parameters?

Yes, Step Actions Reference provides detailed documentation on Overcut workflow step action types, parameters, and configuration options, covering agent execution, repository operations, and CI integration.
