Workflow

Runs

A run is the durable execution record for work moving through the runtime. It is where status, phases, provider usage, review pressure, messages, and artifacts come together.

Guide summary

Use this page to understand the surface before you act inside it.

Track execution phases, statuses, continue/retry paths, provider usage, and review posture.

Phases

Planning / Specialist Execution / Review / Final Artifact

These phases explain how work advances through the system.

Main decision point

Continue vs Retry vs Report

Replay and step detail should inform that choice.

Related action

Open Mission Replay

Replay is often the fastest way to understand what actually happened.

Guide section

What it is

A run is the execution record for a mission or task moving through the runtime.

When to use it

Use runs whenever work should move through the execution engine and become a real deliverable.

Where to find it

Find them in Runs and through mission/task detail surfaces.

What happens next

You use this surface as part of the broader mission -> task -> run -> artifact workflow.

Common mistake

Reading only the status badge

Related action

Use Report this Run when the run detail surface is still unclear after Replay and troubleshooting.

Guide section

Why it matters

It preserves status, steps, artifacts, cost usage, and review posture in a durable place rather than losing that context in chat history.

Guide section

How it fits into the workflow

Runs are the center of execution. Missions define the objective, tasks define lanes, and artifacts capture the result.

Guide section

Step-by-step usage

  • Launch the run from a mission or task.
  • Follow phase and status transitions.
  • Review specialist output and review pressure.
  • Continue or retry if the runtime needs intervention.
  • Open the artifact and replay once execution completes.

Common mistakes

  • Retrying before the underlying cause is fixed

Guide section

Troubleshooting

Failed or stuck runs usually need Replay, step detail, provider posture, or support rather than blind retrying.

Guide section

Statuses and intervention paths

Queued

The run is waiting for runtime capacity or the next process slot.

Running

The run is currently moving through steps or background execution.

Waiting for approval

A human decision is needed before the system should continue.

Completed

The runtime reached a terminal success posture and usually produced an artifact.

Failed

A step or blocking condition stopped progress. Inspect before retrying.
