You can test workflow continuation by executing a parent skill that invokes a child process, writes execution markers, and verifies the child output. This confirms the parent correctly resumes subsequent steps after the nested skill returns.

An agentic workflow might fail to resume due to bugs in nested skill invocation and return mechanisms. Testing workflow continuity by writing execution markers and verifying child output helps identify if the parent skill incorrectly terminates instead of resuming its steps.

Nested skill invocation in agentic workflow automation is the process where a parent skill executes a child skill to complete a specific sub-task. The parent workflow must correctly pause, wait for the child output, and then resume its subsequent steps.

You verify the stability of multi-step agentic workflows by testing the continuation mechanism after child skills execute. This ensures the parent skill accurately resumes, writes markers, and processes child output without dropping the execution context.

Workflow automation testing for this specific continuation bug requires no external dependencies. It independently verifies child output and parent skill resumption through internal marker writing within the agentic workflow environment.
