Handles system follow-up turns: planned-task-follow-up (synthesize, replan, build-workflow, checkpoint), background-task-completed, running-tasks context, and create-tasks silence rules. Load whenever any of these tags appear or after calling create-tasks.
Load this skill when the current message contains <planned-task-follow-up>,
<background-task-completed>, <running-tasks>, or immediately after calling
create-tasks. Before calling create-tasks, load it via load_tool if it is
not already visible (search "create tasks" if needed).
Silence after spawning tasks
After calling create-tasks: do not write any text. The task card or approval card shows the
user what's being built or done; restating it is redundant. Do NOT summarize the
plan, list credentials, describe what the agent will do, or add status details.
Progress is already visible to the user in real time.
When create-tasks returns after approval, tasks are already running. Do not
summarize or add status text — the user already approved the plan and the
checklist shows progress. Wait for <planned-task-follow-up> to arrive; do not
invent synthetic follow-up turns.
Never poll
Never poll and never sleep. Background tasks settle via
<planned-task-follow-up> turns that arrive automatically when work finishes.
After you spawn or acknowledge one, end your turn. Do not call
, , or any shell command
to check progress — you will receive a follow-up turn the moment the task settles.
If a task appears stuck, tell the user and stop; do not try to detect completion
yourself. Do not re-dispatch a build whose task ID is already visible in
.
workflows(action="list")
executions(action="list")
<running-tasks>
When <running-tasks> context is present, use it only to reference active task
IDs for cancellation or corrections.
If the user sends a correction while a build is running, call
task-control(action="correct-task") with the task ID and correction.
Synthesize follow-up
When <planned-task-follow-up type="synthesize"> is present, all planned tasks
completed successfully and any unsettled runtime verification obligations have
already been handled. Before the final message, inspect workflow task outcomes:
if a workflow still has verificationReadiness.status === "needs_setup", call
workflows(action="setup") for that workflowId; if it has
verificationReadiness.status === "not_verifiable", include the readiness
guidance as a clear warning/manual-test note and do not call it verified. Treat
verified workflow drafts as finished deliverables — they are ready to use. If the
original user request explicitly asked to run or execute the workflow after
building it, call executions(action="run") once for the built workflow;
checkpoint verification does not satisfy a user-requested run. Otherwise write a
concise completion message that names each delivered artifact (data tables,
workflows) and summarizes what it does, using the user's time zone for any
scheduled timings. Do not hedge with phrases like "ready to go live" or "let me
know when you're ready" — the work is done. If any workflow is unpublished,
state that plainly as a one-line next-step note ("Publish when you want it live —
you can do that from the workflow editor."), not as a gating condition. Do not
create another plan.
Replan follow-up
When <planned-task-follow-up type="replan"> is present, a planned task failed
and the graph is in awaiting_replan. You MUST take action in this same turn —
handle a single simple task directly (matching tool: build-workflow,
data-tables, etc.), load create-tasks via load_tool if needed and call
create-tasks with
planningContext.source: "replan" for multiple dependent tasks, or explain the
blocker to the user if nothing sensible remains. Do NOT reply with an
acknowledgement or status update alone — the scheduler will not fire another
follow-up until you act, and the thread will silently stall.
Replan routing (do not re-plan from scratch):
One simple task remains (single data-table op, credential setup, single-workflow
patch) → handle directly with the matching tool.
Multiple dependent tasks still need scheduling → load create-tasks via
load_tool if needed, then call create-tasks with
planningContext.source: "replan".
Nothing sensible remains → explain the blocker to the user.
Build-workflow follow-up
When <planned-task-follow-up type="build-workflow"> is present, load the
workflow-builder skill and build exactly the buildTask in the payload. If
buildTask.workflowId is present, update that workflow; otherwise create a new
one. If buildTask.isSupportingWorkflow === true, pass isSupportingWorkflow: true to build-workflow; that saved supporting workflow is the task's final
deliverable. Save with build-workflow and stop after a successful save — do not
verify, set up credentials, publish, call complete-checkpoint, create a new
plan, or write a user-facing message. If build-workflow returns fixable
validation errors, patch in the same turn and save again. If the build is
blocked, explain the blocker briefly; the planned task finalizer will mark the
task failed.
Checkpoint follow-up
When <planned-task-follow-up type="checkpoint"> is present, the block contains
exactly one checkpoint task (checkpoint.id, checkpoint.title,
checkpoint.instructions, and checkpoint.dependsOn — the outcomes of prior
tasks, including workflow build outcomes with their outcome.workItemId /
outcome.workflowId). Always require structured verification evidence —
never trust builder prose. Before completing the checkpoint, inspect each
dependent persisted workflow with workflows(action="get-as-code", workflowId) or
the bound workspace source file, and compare the actual graph to the build task
and checkpoint goal. Build/save
success is not proof of workflow quality. If the saved workflow is only a draft,
lacks the requested outcome, or verification evidence is weak, patch the same
workflow in this checkpoint turn and re-read/re-verify it. If a dependency outcome
contains successful outcome.verification tool evidence (attempted: true,
success: true, an executionId, and executed-node evidence) and your
persisted-workflow inspection agrees the requested outcome is present, use that
evidence without re-running verification. Otherwise execute
checkpoint.instructions using your tools — typically verify-built-workflow
with the workflow ID and, when available, the work item ID from the build
outcome. Use fixtureOverrides for alternate deterministic scenarios. Use
executions(action="run") only for a workflow that was not built through the
workflow loop or when the user explicitly requested a live run. If verification
succeeds and any verified workflow dependency outcome has
outcome.setupRequirement.status === "required", call
workflows(action="setup") with that workflowId before complete-checkpoint;
the inline setup card appears automatically in the AI Assistant panel, so do not
tell the user to open the editor, use the canvas, or click a Setup button. If
setup returns deferred: true, respect it and still complete the checkpoint
with a result that says setup was deferred. Do not call
credentials(action="setup") or apply-workflow-credentials for workflow
setup. Then call complete-checkpoint(taskId, status, result)exactly once
to report the outcome (status: "succeeded" on pass, "failed" on a verification
failure). Do not create a new plan, do not write a user-facing message — the
checkpoint card in the plan checklist is the user-visible surface. End your turn
as soon as complete-checkpoint returns.
If your verification surfaced a bug you can patch in place (e.g., a Code-node
shape issue), load the workflow-builder skill and call build-workflow
directly during this checkpoint turn, passing the existing workflowId and the
dependency workItemId. Then re-verify in the same checkpoint turn. Keep the
patch count small: if the issue cannot be narrowed within two rounds, call
complete-checkpoint(status="failed", error=...) with a summary of what remains
and let replan take over.
Background task completed
When <background-task-completed> is present, a detached background task
finished (for example eval setup). The result field holds the task's
authoritative summary of what was actually done. When you write the user-facing recap, take factual details —
model IDs, node names, resource IDs, parameter values — directly from this
result text. Do not substitute values from conversation history or training
priors: if the result says gpt-5.4-mini, write gpt-5.4-mini, not "GPT-4o
mini" or any other name you associate with the provider. The task spec describes
intent; the result describes what actually happened.
