What it does

Orchestrate multi-step background jobs with durable state and child task linkage

Best for

Multi-step background work (inbox triage, PR intake, workflow orchestration) that outlives a single prompt and needs owner context + state across detached runs.

Inputs
  • · Job goal, initial state, child task definitions
Outputs
  • · TaskFlow object with flowId, state, revision tracking, and child task references
Preconditions
  • · Access to api.runtime.tasks.flow API or compatible ACP runtime
Failure modes
  • · Revision conflict if multiple agents mutate flow simultaneously
  • · Child task failures do not auto-cascade cancellation
  • · Waiting state must be explicitly resumed (no auto-timeout)
Trust signals
  • · Revision-checked all mutations prevent conflicts
  • · Built-in parent-child task linkage
  • · Supports waiting state with custom waitJson metadata
