FAQPage Schema
How do I manage long-running shell commands as persistent workflows?

You can manage long-running shell commands by binding them to a named workflow with an optional port to monitor. This enables you to automate startup, inspect status, and handle lifecycle operations across background services and web servers.

Can I automatically restart background services after package installations?

Yes, persistent workflows support automatic restarts after package installations and module changes. This ensures your web servers and background services remain synchronized with the latest dependencies without requiring manual lifecycle intervention.

How do I configure and monitor persistent app workflows across different environments?

Configure persistent app workflows by defining a named workflow with its start command and an optional port to monitor. You can then start, stop, inspect status, and manage the lifecycle of processes across web servers, TUIs, and background services.

Does this workflow orchestration tool require a specific entry point format?

Yes, workflow orchestration enforces a YAML-frontmatter entry point in SKILL.md defining the name and description. It also supports optional scripts, references, and assets directories to provide runtime APIs for listing and managing lifecycle status.

What is the best way to coordinate lifecycle operations for background services and TUIs?

The best way to coordinate lifecycle operations is to bind your tasks as managed workflows, enabling you to start, stop, restart, and inspect status across background services and TUIs. This centralizes control over persistent processes.
