manage-run

Use when: User wants to INSPECT, MONITOR, START, APPROVE, or CONTROL Archon workflow RUNS in the current project — driven through the archon CLI over bash. Triggers (inspect): "what's running", "list runs", "show recent runs", "run status", "did the review pass", "check run ", "show me run ", "what happened in that run". Triggers (control): "approve the plan", "approve run ", "reject that run", "cancel that run", "abandon run ", "resume run ", "continue that run". Triggers (start): "start in the background", "kick off detached". Capability: Drives archon workflow runs/get/status/run --detach/approve/reject/cancel/abandon/resume with machine-readable --json output, scoped to the current project by cwd. NOT for: Authoring workflows/commands, or Archon setup/config — use the broader archon skill.

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/coleam00/archon --skill manage-run
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads manage-run automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Manage Archon Runs

A focused skill for managing workflow runs through the archon CLI. It assumes Archon is already installed and you are working inside the project repo — the current directory scopes every command to that project automatically. For authoring workflows, setup, or config, use the broader archon skill instead.

Recent runs (live)

!archon workflow runs --limit 10 2>&1 || echo "Archon CLI not installed. (This skill needs the archon CLI on PATH.)"

How output works

  • Add --json to any command for a single clean JSON object on stdout (logs are suppressed automatically in --json mode). Prefer --json when you will parse the result.
  • Without --json you get human-readable text. Diagnostics/warnings always go to stderr.
  • The current directory (cwd) determines which project's runs you see. Run from the repo.

Actively stop a running CLI --detach runarchon workflow cancel <run-id> --json
Mark a paused or verified-orphan run cancelled without stopping host workarchon workflow abandon <run-id> --json

Patterns

Monitor a run to completion

archon workflow runs --json                 # find the run id
archon workflow get <run-id> --json         # poll status: running | completed | failed | paused

A run is finished when status is completed, failed, or cancelled.

Start work without blocking

archon workflow run archon-assist "Investigate the flaky test" --detach
# returns immediately; the run then appears in `archon workflow runs`

--detach runs the workflow in a background child. The parent can't print the new run id (it's created in the child) — find it with archon workflow runs. If the run never appears, check the child log path printed by the command (or the logPath field in --detach --json).

Console UI note: a detached run appears in the web console's Workflow dock (the dock lists runs by project) and updates live — even though it executes in a separate process. A server-side poller tails the workflow-event table and replays new rows to the console's live feed (on PostgreSQL a NOTIFY trigger pushes them within the same second; on SQLite the poller picks them up on its short interval). No refresh is needed.

Approve or reject a paused run (two steps)

--json approve/reject/resume record the decision (the run becomes resumable) but do not execute the workflow — execution streams output that would corrupt the JSON. So:

archon workflow approve <run-id> "ship it" --json   # records the approval (resumable: true)
archon workflow resume <run-id>                      # execute it — run this as a BACKGROUND task
archon workflow get <run-id> --json                  # poll until completed/failed

If you only need to record a gate decision and don't need to drive the resulting cancel-or-rework path forward, the --json step alone is enough. To approve and continue in one blocking call, drop --json: archon workflow approve <run-id> "ship it" auto-resumes (run it as a background task).

Interactive-loop gates: no comment = accept & complete

When a paused interactive loop gate met any declared completion condition (archon workflow get <run-id> --json → .metadata.approval.completionSignaled is true), approving with no comment accepts the completion — on resume the node finalizes from the already-computed output with no re-run. Approving with a comment runs another iteration using it as feedback. Read the gate state first, then choose deliberately:

archon workflow get <run-id> --json | jq .metadata.approval.completionSignaled
archon workflow approve <run-id> --json          # accept & complete (finalize, no re-run)
archon workflow approve <run-id> "redo X" --json # run another iteration with feedback

(In project-scoped chat, the manage_run tool's approve action mirrors this: no message — or accept: true — finalizes; a message iterates.)

FAQ

What does the manage-run skill do?

Use when: User wants to INSPECT, MONITOR, START, APPROVE, or CONTROL Archon workflow RUNS in the current project — driven through the archon CLI over bash. Triggers (inspect): "what's running", "list runs", "show recent runs", "run status", "did the review pass", "check run ", "show me run ", "what happened in that run". Triggers (control): "approve the plan", "approve run ", "reject that run", "cancel that run", "abandon run ", "resume run ", "continue that run". Triggers (start): "start in the background", "kick off detached". Capability: Drives archon workflow runs/get/status/run --detach/approve/reject/cancel/abandon/resume with machine-readable --json output, scoped to the current project by cwd. NOT for: Authoring workflows/commands, or Archon setup/config — use the broader archon skill.

How do I install manage-run?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/coleam00/archon --skill manage-run in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/manage-run/ (personal) or .claude/skills/manage-run/ (project).

Which AI agents can use manage-run?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is manage-run safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
