TaskFlow inbox triage
This is a concrete example of how to think about TaskFlow without turning the core runtime into a DSL.
Goal
Triage inbox items with one owner flow:
- business → post to Slack and wait for reply
- personal → notify the owner now
- everything else → keep for end-of-day summary
Pattern
- Create one flow for the inbox batch.
- Run one detached task to classify new items.
- Persist the routing state in
stateJson. - Move to
waitingonly when an outside reply is required. - Resume the flow when classification or human input completes.
- Finish when the batch has been routed.
Suggested stateJson shape
{
"businessThreads": [],
"personalItems": [],
"eodSummary": []
}
Suggested waitJson when blocked on Slack:
{
"kind": "reply",
"channel": "slack",
"threadKey": "slack:thread-1"
}
Minimal runtime calls
const taskFlow = api.runtime.tasks.flow.fromToolContext(ctx);
const created = taskFlow.createManaged({
controllerId: "my-plugin/inbox-triage",
goal: "triage inbox",
currentStep: "classify",
stateJson: {
businessThreads: [],
personalItems: [],
eodSummary: [],
},
});
const child = taskFlow.runTask({
flowId: created.flowId,
runtime: "acp",
childSessionKey: "agent:main:subagent:classifier",
task: "Classify inbox messages",
status: "running",
startedAt: Date.now(),
lastEventAt: Date.now(),
});
if (!child.created) {
throw new Error(child.reason);
}
const waiting = taskFlow.setWaiting({
flowId: created.flowId,
expectedRevision: created.revision,
currentStep: "await_business_reply",
stateJson: {
businessThreads: ["slack:thread-1"],
personalItems: [],
eodSummary: [],
},
waitJson: {
kind: "reply",
channel: "slack",
threadKey: "slack:thread-1",
},
});
if (!waiting.applied) {
throw new Error(waiting.code);
}
const resumed = taskFlow.resume({
flowId: waiting.flow.flowId,
expectedRevision: waiting.flow.revision,
status: "running",
currentStep: "route_items",
stateJson: waiting.flow.stateJson,
});
if (!resumed.applied) {
throw new Error(resumed.code);
}
taskFlow.finish({
flowId: resumed.flow.flowId,
expectedRevision: resumed.flow.revision,
stateJson: resumed.flow.stateJson,
});

Use when work should span one or more detached tasks but still behave like one job with a single owner context. TaskFlow is the durable flow substrate under authoring layers like Lobster, ACPX, plugins, or plain code. Keep conditional logic in the caller; use TaskFlow for flow identity, child-task linkage, waiting state, revision-checked mutations, and user-facing emergence.
