What

content/docs/relayflows/*.mdx existed with the right front-matter but bodies copy-pasted from the agents product docs (cloud personas, granola-prospect, npx agentworkforce deploy) — none of it described the flow engine. This rewrites all four pages and wires the section into the site the same way factory is wired in.

Content

  • introduction.mdx — the RFC-0001 step ladder (run/llm/agent/resident verbs), the real hello flow from the flows repo README, the real hello-agent.flow.yaml verification example, and a real captured run transcript (docs/evidence/ws13/agent-run.txt) instead of a mocked one.
  • quickstart.mdx — install → scaffold → check → run → kill-and-resume, in Factory's "these steps touch nothing" framing.
  • cli.mdx — every subcommand pulled verbatim from packages/sdk/src/cli.ts's USAGE string.
  • build.mdx — YAML vs TypeScript authoring, the real Ctx interface from packages/surface/src/context.ts, and the real per-step recovery modes (reset/inspect/manual) from the flows repo's Appendix A.

Tone follows factory (short declarative sentences, a numbered core loop, real command blocks); grouping follows file's (Relayfile) pattern.

One deliberate honesty call: the CLI and scaffolder aren't published to npm yet, so introduction.mdx and quickstart.mdx both carry an upfront Note saying so — worded the way the flows repo's own README already states it — rather than a quickstart whose first command 404s.

Wiring

  • relayflowsSection registered in lib/product-docs-nav.ts (repo AgentWorkforce/flows; no version badge yet, matching agents, since nothing's published)
  • re-exported from lib/product-docs.ts
  • app/docs/relayflows/{page.tsx,[slug]/page.tsx,[slug]/og.png/route.tsx,markdown/[slug]/route.ts} added, copied from factory's equivalents
  • Workflow icon added to the product switcher in DocsNav.tsx

Not done here

components/SiteFooter.tsx still links "RelayFlows" to github.com/AgentWorkforce/relayflows (a different, older repo) rather than to these new docs or AgentWorkforce/flows. Left alone since it's a separate call about which repo is canonical — flag if you want it repointed in this PR or a follow-up.

Summary by cubic

Replaces the placeholder Relayflows docs pages — whose bodies were copy-pasted from the agents docs — with real documentation for the flow engine, and wires the section into the docs site the same way factory is wired in.

Docs content

  • Writes eight pages from real flows-repo material: the step ladder, actual CLI usage, the Ctx interface, and a captured run transcript; agent steps set cli/model inline in both TypeScript and YAML, since the upstream gap (flows#310) is now closed; a missing CLI is refused before any journal write as exit 2 REFUSED [invalid_spec].
  • Adds multi-agent, cloud, memory & integrations, and reliability pages; the quickstart installs the published relayflows packages and no longer depends on the unpublished scaffolder.
  • The cloud page documents the verified path to a FLOWS_CLOUD_TOKEN: agent-relay cloud login then agent-relay cloud session --json --reveal-token.
  • Flow examples render as a TypeScript-first, YAML-switchable CodeGroup; the cli page makes explicit that flows check only takes declarative specs and scopes --json to check, run, and resume. Every full flow snippet carries the required version and a resolvable CLI so all examples pass preflight.
  • build.mdx points at the writing-relayflows skill with the site's standard two-install-path block (prpm and skills.sh); a final editorial pass made the prose read as plain human technical writing, no technical claims or code samples changed.

Site wiring

  • Registers the relayflows section in the nav config, re-exports it, and adds page, markdown, and OG image routes copied from factory's equivalents, including the CORS entry the other markdown mirrors already have.
  • Adds a Workflow icon to the product switcher in DocsNav, extends the docs language context to a third yaml value scoped to the Relayflows section, and normalizes a stale stored language preference so the picker and CodeGroup blocks can't drift apart.

Note: SiteFooter still links "RelayFlows" to github.com/AgentWorkforce/relayflows (a different, older repo) rather than these docs — left as-is since it's a separate call about which repo is canonical.

Written for commit 70f3fc7. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

The content/docs/relayflows/*.mdx files existed with correct front-matter
but bodies copy-pasted from the agents product docs (cloud personas,
granola-prospect, npx agentworkforce deploy) — none of it described the
flow engine. Rewrites all four, grounded in the actual flows repo
(AgentWorkforce/flows): the RFC-0001 step ladder, the real hello flow and
hello-agent.flow.yaml examples, the real Ctx authoring interface, the real
CLI usage string from packages/sdk/src/cli.ts, and a real captured run
transcript (docs/evidence/ws13/agent-run.txt) instead of a mocked one.

Follows factory's tone (short declarative sentences, a numbered core loop,
real command blocks) and file's (Relayfile) content grouping.

Wires the section into the site the same way factory is wired in:
- registers `relayflowsSection` in lib/product-docs-nav.ts (repo
  AgentWorkforce/flows; no version badge yet, matching `agents`, since the
  CLI and scaffolder aren't published to npm)
- re-exports it from lib/product-docs.ts
- adds app/docs/relayflows/{page.tsx,[slug]/page.tsx,[slug]/og.png/route.tsx,
  markdown/[slug]/route.ts}, copied from factory's equivalents
- adds a Workflow icon to the product switcher in DocsNav.tsx

The CLI/scaffolder aren't released yet, so introduction.mdx and
quickstart.mdx both carry an upfront Note saying so, worded the same way
the flows repo's own README already states it — rather than writing a
quickstart that 404s on the first command.

Verified:
- npx vitest run lib/test/product-docs.test.ts -> Test Files 1 passed (1), Tests 5 passed (5)
- npx tsc --noEmit -> clean
- npm run build -> succeeds; emits /docs/relayflows/{introduction,quickstart,build,cli},
  their og.png variants, and their markdown/*.md mirrors
- npx vitest run (full suite) -> Test Files 11 passed (11), Tests 32 passed (32)

P2 Badge Use a supported input type for the check step

The CLI synopsis added in cli.mdx limits flows check to <flow.yaml|spec.json>, but this onboarding path passes the scaffolded TypeScript file. If the documented CLI contract is accurate, every user following the default quickstart stops at step 3 with an unsupported input; scaffold/check a YAML or JSON flow here, or update the CLI and its synopsis to support .flow.ts consistently.

## `--json`

Every command accepts `--json` for structured output instead of the human-readable progress line — the shape a CI step or another program should read, not the terminal renderer.

P2 Badge Restrict the blanket --json claim to supported commands

The command synopsis on this page exposes --json only for check, run, and resume, while tick start, hn-monitor start, and observer omit it. Claiming that every command accepts the flag directs automation toward invocations such as flows observer --json that the documented command surface does not support; scope this statement to the commands that actually expose structured output.

Pushed a follow-up commit that:

Frictionless quickstart — dropped the inline "not published to npm yet" <Note> hedges from introduction.mdx and quickstart.mdx; tightened the quickstart to a confident, numbered install → scaffold → run → resume flow (matching the loop/Reflex precedent, which carries zero in-body hedging even pre-release). Deliberately left the product switcher (DocsNav.tsx) untouched — relayflows isn't marked isComingSoon, consistent with how the agents section (also unversioned) behaves: fully navigable, no disabled state.

Four new pages, grounded in the repo's real surface/specs, not invented APIs:

  • multi-agent.mdx — named agents with a per-step { cli, model } pair (this ships today in the declarative compiler per SURFACE.md §1 item 6), plus f.human approval and f.dispatch to a child flow.
  • cloud.mdx — flows run --cloud / runInCloud / waitForCloudFlowRun, the accepted-vs-completed distinction, and current real limits (YAML/JSON only, no .flow.ts; one-hour execution ceiling) straight from docs/CLOUD.md.
  • memory-and-integrations.mdx — f.memory (relayhistory/Relayloop-backed, gate 5) and generated f.slack/f.github helpers (Relayfile-backed, gate 6), cross-linked to the existing /docs/loop and /docs/file sections. Includes an honest note that the shipped memory provider is a stub today per docs/GATE5-MEMORY-CONTRACT.md — the one place I kept a caveat, because the claim it's replacing ("an agent citing a real prior mistake") is specific enough that overclaiming it would be checkable and wrong.
  • reliability.mdx — the exit-code contract (0/1/2/3), the closed completionReason vocabulary, crash/resume/recoveryMode, exactly-once effects, and the authored-operation lifecycle rules (unawaited_step, unsettled_derived_work) — this is the "how reliable can results be" throughline, and it's the most concretely shipped material of the four pages.

All four are wired into a new "Going further" nav group under relayflowsSection.

…L-switch toggle

Addresses PR #66 review feedback and adds the TS/YAML language switcher:

CodeRabbit findings fixed:
- quickstart.mdx no longer depends on the unpublished create-flow
  scaffolder. Verified relayflows@2.0.9 and @relayflows/surface@2.0.9 are
  real, published packages (create-flow is still 404); rebuilt the
  quickstart around `npm install @relayflows/surface relayflows` plus a
  hand-written flow file, with every command and its output re-captured
  from a real run (both the TypeScript and YAML paths).
- cli.mdx: fixed the `flows check` synopsis mismatch — check takes
  flow.yaml/spec.json only, never a .flow.ts (confirmed empirically:
  `flows check hello.flow.ts` refuses as invalid_spec). Added a line
  clarifying a TypeScript flow gets the same preflight inline via `run`.

New: TypeScript-by-default, YAML-switchable code samples
- Extended the site's existing TypeScript/Python DocsLanguageContext to a
  third value, 'yaml', reusing the same CodeGroup toggle + sidebar
  language <select> mechanism already shipped for the file/agents SDK
  docs — no new UI component needed.
- TableOfContents now shows TypeScript/YAML on the relayflows section and
  TypeScript/Python everywhere else (unchanged for other sections).
- introduction.mdx, quickstart.mdx, build.mdx: the flow examples that have
  a genuine 1:1 in both dialects are now a <CodeGroup> with TypeScript
  first (default) and YAML as the switchable alternative.
- multi-agent.mdx: added an explicit note that the named-agent map
  (agents: + a step's agent: selector) is YAML/JSON-only today —
  Ctx.agent in TypeScript takes { task, workspace }, no per-call cli/model
  yet (per SURFACE.md's own unmerged-PR-134 caveat) — so no TS equivalent
  is faked for it.
- build.mdx: recoveryMode/permissions/surfaces/budget (YAML/JSON-only
  control-plane fields) moved out of the toggled pair into their own
  section with an explicit note about the current TS/YAML gap, instead of
  implying a false equivalence.

Verified:

Pushed a follow-up commit addressing the CodeRabbit findings from the last review, plus a new feature: TypeScript-by-default with a YAML switch button.

CodeRabbit findings (both confirmed by actually running the commands, not just read):

  • quickstart.mdx relied on npx create-flow@latest, which is unpublished (npm view create-flow → 404). Checked what is published: relayflows@2.0.9 and @relayflows/surface@2.0.9 are real. Rebuilt the quickstart around npm install @relayflows/surface relayflows + a hand-written flow file — no scaffolder needed — and re-captured every command's real output from an actual run (TS and YAML paths both).
  • cli.mdx showed flows check my-flow.flow.ts, but check only accepts flow.yaml/spec.json — confirmed by running it: flows check hello.flow.ts → REFUSED [invalid_spec]. Fixed the example and added a line explaining a TS flow gets the same preflight inline via run.

New: TypeScript-default, YAML-switchable examples (this session's ask) — reused the site's existing TypeScript/Python toggle infrastructure rather than building a new one:

  • DocsLanguageContext's DocsLanguage type gained a third value, 'yaml'.
  • TableOfContents's sidebar language <select> now shows TypeScript/YAML on the relayflows section specifically, and TypeScript/Python everywhere else (unchanged).
  • introduction.mdx, quickstart.mdx, and build.mdx: every flow example with a genuine 1:1 in both dialects is now a <CodeGroup> with TypeScript first/default, YAML as the switchable tab.
  • Where there isn't a real equivalence, I didn't fake one: multi-agent.mdx's named-agent map (agents: + a step's agent: selector) is YAML/JSON-only today — Ctx.agent in TypeScript takes { task, workspace }, no per-call cli/model yet, matching SURFACE.md's own note that the TS header type is behind a separate, unmerged PR. Same treatment for recoveryMode/permissions/surfaces/budget in build.mdx — moved out of the toggled pair into their own section with an explicit note about the gap.

Verified:

$ npx tsc --noEmit -p .
(clean — this also caught and fixed a real type error in LegacySpawnOptionsTable.tsx exposed by widening DocsLanguage)

$ npx vitest run
 Test Files  11 passed (11)
      Tests  32 passed (32)

$ npm run build
EXIT: 0

Grepped the built HTML to confirm the behavior, not just that it compiled:

$ grep -o '<option[^>]*>[A-Za-z]*</option>' .next/server/app/docs/relayflows/quickstart.html
<option value="typescript" selected="">TypeScript</option>
<option value="yaml">YAML</option>

$ grep -o 'aria-selected="true"[^>]*>[A-Za-z]*' .next/server/app/docs/relayflows/quickstart.html
aria-selected="true" ...>TypeScript   (×4 CodeGroups on the page, all defaulting to TypeScript)

$ grep -o '<option[^>]*>[A-Za-z]*</option>' .next/server/app/docs/file/sdk.html
<option value="python">Python</option>   (unaffected — still Python, not yaml)

No content changes — same facts, tighter and clearer sentences:

- introduction.mdx: dropped the confusing 'f.run/a deterministic step'
  slash construction; shortened the closed-vocabulary sentence that
  buried its point under a 9-item parenthetical list.
- quickstart.mdx: removed 'authored-operation lifecycle' (an undefined
  term at this point in the docs); simplified the daemon/journal sentence.
- build.mdx: fixed a confusing self-referential pronoun sentence in the
  opener; simplified the YAML/TypeScript framing; fixed a grammatically
  broken sentence in the recoveryMode/permissions Note ('have a
  TypeScript flow f.dispatch to one').
- cli.mdx: clarified '--local-agent ... with its own local access' (whose
  access was ambiguous); unpacked 'a deterministic-id claim on each
  interval' into what it actually means (restart-safe, no double-fire).
- multi-agent.mdx: fixed a comma-splice in the YAML-only Note; explained
  'step-shadowed' instead of using the term bare.
- cloud.mdx: merged a bullet whose bold header just restated the sentence
  after it.
- memory-and-integrations.mdx: untangled two noun-heavy sentences
  ('a fix an engineer already worked out by hand is something an agent
  step can cite, not rediscover'; 'projected into flow-native verbs').
- reliability.mdx: opening hook no longer copy-pasted verbatim from
  introduction.mdx (same claim, different framing so the two pages don't
  echo each other); simplified 'exhaustive switch' and 'patching around
  its absence'.

Verified: npx tsc --noEmit -p . (clean), npx vitest run (11 files, 32
passed), npm run build (exit 0).

Rewrite prose across all 8 relayflows pages to read as plain human
technical writing:

- Cut heavy em-dash use down to occasional, purposeful asides instead
  of a clause-joining crutch in nearly every sentence.
- Removed the repeated 'X, not Y' contrastive tic (used dozens of
  times: 'not a mockup', 'not vibes', 'not undone', 'not completed',
  etc.) in favor of direct positive statements.
- Removed the rhetorical-question opener in reliability.mdx ('what
  makes that true?').
- Removed mid-sentence **bold-for-drama** emphasis on ordinary words
  (dirty not undone, before a journal entry is ever written, exactly-
  once means exactly-once effects).
- Renamed punchy contrarian section headers to plain descriptive ones:
  'Verification instead of vibes' / 'Verification, not vibes' (used
  on two different pages) -> 'Verification'; 'Kill it mid-step. Resume
  it. Nothing doubles.' -> 'Crashing mid-step'; 'A SaaS is a directory,
  not an API client' -> 'Integrations'; 'The daemon doesn't leave you
  guessing either' -> 'The daemon'.
- Removed repeated 'That's a real captured run' / 'That's the whole
  kernel-level vocabulary' sentence-opener scaffolding.
- Fixed 'Memory: recall, cite, learn' header to just 'Memory' (the
  three real methods are recall/why/learn, not recall/cite/learn).

No technical claims, code samples, captured CLI output, or evidence
changed. Verified with:
  cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p .   -> exit 0, no errors
  cd web && npx vitest run          -> 11 files, 32 passed
  cd web && npm run build           -> exit 0, all 8 relayflows pages
                                        prerendered

Pass: removed AI-sounding prose patterns (commit 2352509)

Follow-up to the clarity pass, this time targeting stylistic tells rather than density, across all 8 pages.

Patterns found and removed:

  1. Em-dash overload. Several sentences chained two or three em-dash clauses in a row. Trimmed to one purposeful aside per sentence at most, using periods/colons/commas for the rest.
  2. The "X, not Y" contrastive tic, used dozens of times ("not a mockup", "not vibes", "not a raw transcript", "not undone", "not completed", "never a shared pool", "never guesses", "never rolls back"...). Rewritten as direct positive statements instead of leaning on a negation crutch every other sentence.
  3. Rhetorical-question opener in reliability.mdx: "when a run says it's done, what makes that true?" → replaced with a direct statement of what the page covers.
  4. Mid-sentence bold-for-drama on ordinary words: **dirty, not undone**, **before a journal entry is ever written**, **Exactly-once means exactly-once effects, not exactly-once execution**. Removed; the words carry the point without the emphasis.
  5. Punchy contrarian section headers, several duplicated across pages:
    • "Verification instead of vibes" (introduction.mdx) / "Verification, not vibes" (build.mdx) → both now just Verification
    • "Kill it mid-step. Resume it. Nothing doubles." → Crashing mid-step
    • "Integrations: a SaaS is a directory, not an API client" → Integrations
    • "The daemon doesn't leave you guessing either" → The daemon
    • "A flow body can't lie about finishing" → A flow can't fake finishing
  6. Repeated "That's..." sentence-opener scaffolding ("That's a real captured run", "That's the whole kernel-level vocabulary", "That's the trade Relayflows makes") — varied or dropped.
  7. Incidental accuracy fix caught in the same pass: memory-and-integrations.mdx had a header "Memory: recall, cite, learn" — the three real methods shown in the example are recall/why/learn, not cite. Simplified the header to Memory rather than assert a fourth verb.

No technical claim, code sample, captured CLI output, or <Note> caveat changed. This was a voice pass only.

Verification (re-run after the edits, same commands as every prior round):

$ cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p .
(exit 0, no output)

$ cd web && npx vitest run
 Test Files  11 passed (11)
      Tests  32 passed (32)

$ cd web && npm run build
(exit 0; all 8 /docs/relayflows/* pages, their og.png routes, and their
 /markdown/*.md routes prerendered in the route manifest)

The intro's 'A whole flow' example called f.agent('greeter', {...}) /
had an agent step named greeter without ever showing which CLI or
model it actually runs on, which read as if 'greeter' had to be
declared somewhere else.

Fixed by showing the real, verified mechanism for each dialect:

- YAML: AgentStepSpec has its own cli?/model? fields (packages/sdk/src/spec.ts
  lines 184/191) — added cli: claude / model: claude-sonnet-4-6 directly
  on the greeter step. Confirmed real via packages/sdk/src/preflight.ts's
  CLI resolution order (step > named > flow > project).
- TypeScript: Ctx.agent's AgentOptions is only { task, workspace? }
  (packages/surface/src/context.ts) — there is no cli/model field to add.
  What actually happens, per packages/sdk/src/authored-flow-executor.ts's
  comments ('The kernel never resolves a cli on its own... searching for
  the nearest flows.json from flowPath'), is that CLI/model resolve from
  the project's flows.json. Added that file's real shape
  ({ cli, models }, validated in packages/sdk/src/cli/check.ts) and the
  real refusal code (agent_cli_unresolved) it produces when missing.

No fabricated TypeScript API added — verified both mechanisms by reading
the actual source before writing the docs.

Verified: cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p .   -> exit 0
  cd web && npx vitest run          -> 11 files, 32 passed
  cd web && npm run build           -> exit 0
  grep against .next/server/app/docs/relayflows/introduction.html
  confirms 'flows.json', 'claude-sonnet-4-6', and 'agent_cli_unresolved'
  all render on the built page.

Made the intro's agent example show which CLI it actually runs on (commit 7074816)

introduction.mdx's "A whole flow" example called f.agent('greeter', {...}) / had a greeter agent step without ever showing which CLI or model runs it — read like 'greeter' needed to be declared somewhere the example never showed.

Read the actual source before adding anything, since the two dialects genuinely differ here:

  • YAML — AgentStepSpec has real cli?/model? fields right on the step (packages/sdk/src/spec.ts:184,191 in the flows repo). Added cli: claude / model: claude-sonnet-4-6 directly on greeter. Confirmed against preflight.ts's CLI resolution order (step > named agent > flow > project default).
  • TypeScript — Ctx.agent's AgentOptions is only { task, workspace? } (packages/surface/src/context.ts). There's no cli/model field to show inline at the call site — I didn't fabricate one. What's actually true, per authored-flow-executor.ts's own comments ("the kernel never resolves a cli on its own... searching for the nearest flows.json from flowPath"), is that an authored flow's CLI/model resolve from the project's flows.json. Added that file's real shape ({ cli, models }, exactly as validated in cli/check.ts) and the real refusal code it produces when one's missing: agent_cli_unresolved.

Verification:

$ cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p .
(exit 0)

$ cd web && npx vitest run
 Test Files  11 passed (11)
      Tests  32 passed (32)

$ cd web && npm run build
(exit 0)

$ grep -o 'agent_cli_unresolved\|claude-sonnet-4-6\|flows\.json' \
    .next/server/app/docs/relayflows/introduction.html | sort -u
agent_cli_unresolved
claude-sonnet-4-6

the YAML agent step with cli: claude or another supported CLI. If these examples
intentionally depend on existing project configuration, state that requirement
explicitly instead.

- Line 57: Update the TypeScript agent-resolution explanation near f.agent to
state that flows.json.models is only an allowlist, not the model selector, and
that CLI resolution follows step, named agent, flow, or project configuration
while the model comes from the step or named agent. Use cli_unresolved as the
missing-CLI error and remove any implication that flows.json selects
claude-sonnet-4-6.

- Line 11: Add the required FlowSpec version field before the existing name
field in the ship-feature flow, using the current schema version 0.1.0 so the

…red version

Three findings from CodeRabbit's review of 7074816, all verified against
the real flows repo source before fixing:

1. build.mdx: neither the TS nor YAML 'hello-agent' agent step had a
   resolvable CLI (no cli: on the YAML step, no flows.json mentioned for
   TS), so both would refuse at preflight. Added cli: claude / model:
   claude-sonnet-4-6 to the YAML edit step (real fields — spec.ts's
   AgentStepSpec.cli?/model?), and a sentence pointing at what the TS
   side needs (a project flows.json), cross-linking the introduction
   page for the full mechanism instead of duplicating it.

2. introduction.mdx: my own prior fix (7074816) wrongly implied
   flows.json's `models` array selects a model for f.agent. Verified
   against preflight.ts: `models` is only an allowlist that validates
   any model actually declared on a step or named agent — TypeScript's
   f.agent has no field to declare a model at all (AgentOptions is just
   { task, workspace? } in context.ts), so nothing resolves one; the
   step just runs whatever model its resolved CLI defaults to. Also
   corrected the refusal claim: traced the actual CLI path
   (direct-run.ts) and confirmed a missing CLI on an authored step
   surfaces as exit 2, `REFUSED [invalid_spec]` — not the internal SDK
   error code `agent_cli_unresolved` I'd cited, which is never printed
   as the refusal kind a user sees.

3. multi-agent.mdx: the 'ship-feature' YAML example was missing the
   required top-level `version` field (FlowSpec.version: string is
   non-optional in spec.ts; SPEC_SCHEMA_VERSION is '0.1.0'), so it would
   fail flows check. Added version: '0.1.0'.

Also swept every relayflows YAML flow example for the same missing-version
defect; all other full-flow snippets already had it (only build.mdx's and
introduction.mdx's Verification-section fragments omit it, and both are
explicitly presented as excerpts, not standalone flows).

  cd web && npx vitest run          -> 11 files, 32 passed

Addressed CodeRabbit's latest review (commit bc02ddf)

CodeRabbit's review of 7074816 flagged 3 actionable findings. Re-verified each against the actual flows repo source (not just CodeRabbit's own analysis, which mixed in some wrong-repo web search noise) before fixing:

  1. build.mdx — the hello-agent example had an agent step with no resolvable CLI in either dialect (no cli: on the YAML step, no flows.json mentioned for TS), so both would refuse at preflight as shown. Added cli: claude / model: claude-sonnet-4-6 to the YAML step (real fields, confirmed against AgentStepSpec in packages/sdk/src/spec.ts) and a sentence pointing at what the TS side needs, cross-linked to the intro instead of duplicating the explanation.
  2. introduction.mdx — CodeRabbit correctly caught that my previous commit (7074816) got this wrong. I'd implied flows.json's models array selects a model for f.agent. Checked preflight.ts: models is only an allowlist that validates a model already declared on a step or named agent — TypeScript's f.agent has no field to declare a model at all, so nothing resolves one; it just runs whatever model the resolved CLI defaults to. Also fixed the refusal-code claim: traced direct-run.ts and confirmed a missing CLI surfaces to a user as exit 2, REFUSED [invalid_spec] — not the internal SDK error code agent_cli_unresolved I'd cited (that's a real identifier, but it's never the refusal kind printed to a CLI user).
  3. multi-agent.mdx — the ship-feature YAML example was missing the required top-level version field (FlowSpec.version: string is non-optional in spec.ts). Added version: '0.1.0'.

Also swept every YAML flow example across all 8 pages for the same missing-version defect — everything else already had it; the only omissions left are two explicitly-labeled step fragments (not standalone flows).

$ cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p .

Three more findings from PR review bots, verified against actual code:

1. next.config.mjs: Bugbot caught that /docs/relayflows/markdown/:path*
   was added without the CORS entry the agents/factory/file/loop mirrors
   already have, so a cross-origin agent fetch of the new mirror is
   blocked unlike the others. Added it to the same agentReadable list.

2. TableOfContents.tsx: Bugbot caught that the language <select> falls
   back to displaying 'typescript' whenever the stored language doesn't
   match the current section's secondary option, but never writes that
   fallback back into the shared DocsLanguage state. Confirmed: this
   traps a stored 'python'/'yaml' preference (the select shows
   'typescript' but the context still holds the old value, so choosing
   the already-displayed option fires no onChange to fix it), and
   CodeGroup blocks on other pages silently snap to the stale value
   later. Added an effect that normalizes `language` to 'typescript'
   whenever it doesn't match either of the two options this section
   actually offers, so display and state can't drift apart.

3. cli.mdx: Codex caught that "Every command accepts --json" is false.
   Verified against packages/sdk/src/cli.ts's parseArgs: the --json
   branch only exists for `command === 'check' || 'run' || 'resume'`;
   `tick`, `hn-monitor`, and `observer`'s ParsedArgs variants have no
   `json` field at all, and their usage lines in the same file never
   show [--json]. Scoped the claim to the three commands that actually
   support it.

Verified: cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p .   -> exit 0
  cd web && npx vitest run          -> 11 files, 32 passed

Addressed the remaining bot findings (commit 33cda75)

Three more, from Cursor Bugbot and Codex, all verified against actual code before fixing:

  1. CORS gap (Bugbot, web/app/docs/relayflows/markdown/[slug]/route.ts) — the new Relayflows markdown mirror was missing from next.config.mjs's CORS allowlist, unlike the agents/factory/file/loop mirrors. A cross-origin agent fetch of /docs/relayflows/markdown/* was blocked. Added /docs/relayflows/markdown/:path* to the same list. Confirmed post-build: headers() now includes Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * for that path.
  2. Language-picker state trap (Bugbot, TableOfContents.tsx) — real bug. The <select> falls back to displaying 'typescript' whenever the stored language doesn't match the current section's secondary option, but never wrote that fallback back into the shared DocsLanguage state. So a stored 'python'/'yaml' preference stayed trapped: the dropdown showed 'typescript' while context still held the old value, re-selecting the already-displayed option fired no onChange, and CodeGroup blocks elsewhere would silently snap back to the stale value later. Added an effect that normalizes language to 'typescript' whenever it doesn't match either option the current section actually offers.
  3. --json overclaim (Codex, cli.mdx) — "Every command accepts --json" was false. Checked packages/sdk/src/cli.ts's parseArgs: the --json branch only exists when command === 'check' || 'run' || 'resume'; tick, hn-monitor, and observer's parsed-args types have no json field, and their usage lines never show [--json]. Scoped the claim to the three commands that actually support it.

(The other open CodeRabbit thread on cli.mdx, about flows check's input contract, is already resolved by an earlier commit in this PR — CodeRabbit's own comment confirms it with "✅ Addressed in commits fd903fe to 4fb4522"; nothing left to do there.)

Language preference wiped across sections

Medium Severity

The new effect writes typescript into the shared docs language state whenever the stored preference is not offered on the current section. Opening a Relayflows page with a python preference, or a core docs page with yaml, overwrites localStorage via setLanguage, so the original choice is gone after navigating back.

…ust YAML

The intro's and build.mdx's TypeScript tabs are the default view (per
the TS-default/YAML-alternate language toggle), and neither showed the
agent's CLI at all — only the YAML tab had cli:/model: on the step, with
the TypeScript explanation stuck in prose below the CodeGroup. A reader
looking at the default TypeScript view saw no CLI definition anywhere
without scrolling past unrelated text or switching tabs.

Moved the flows.json snippet (real: an authored agent step resolves its
CLI from the project's flows.json, since Ctx.agent has no cli/model
fields) directly into the visible TypeScript code fence, using the same
"// filename" file-boundary comment convention quickstart.mdx already
uses for its two-file examples. Now the CLI definition is visible
in-place regardless of which tab is showing.

… issue

The previous fix stacked a "// flows.json" comment block above the real
hello.flow.ts code inside the TypeScript fence to explain where an
authored agent step's CLI comes from. That read as commented-out code
inside the example rather than a second real file, which is worse than
the plain-prose version it replaced.

Revert the TypeScript panels back to clean, real code with nothing
prepended. Move the flows.json snippet into its own small ```json block
in the prose below, clearly labeled as a separate file rather than
folded into the flow's comments. Link both mentions to the real,
filed-and-verified upstream gap (flows#310) instead of only describing
it in prose.

Verified against real source (unchanged from prior commits, re-checked
this pass):
- packages/surface/src/context.ts:10-13 - Ctx.agent options are exactly
  { task, workspace? }; no cli/model fields exist.
- packages/surface/src/flow.ts:4-9,148-181 - FlowHeader has no `agents`
  field; assertFlowHeader's allowlist is exactly identity/memory/budget/
  tools/workspace.

Filed flows#310 (AgentWorkforce/flows#310) as
the real, scoped feature request to add cli/model to Ctx.agent in
TypeScript, since the docs can't fabricate a field that isn't in the
shipped SDK. Also corrected a factual error found while researching this
in flows#300's "What's shipped" section, which claimed FlowHeader.agents
TS types already exist -- they don't (verified: passing agents: {...} to
flow() throws "unknown fields: agents" today).

Reverted the flows.json-as-comment hack

The last round stacked a // flows.json comment above the real code inside the TypeScript fence to show where an authored agent step's CLI comes from. Feedback: that reads as commented-out code inside the example, not a real second file — not what was asked for.

Reverted introduction.mdx and build.mdx's TypeScript panels to clean, unmodified code. The flows.json snippet now lives in its own small ```json block in the prose below, clearly a separate file.

Root cause stays real, not a docs choice: Ctx.agent's options are { task, workspace? } — verified again against packages/surface/src/context.ts:10-13 — with no cli/model fields in the shipped SDK. There's no way to show a CLI "defined inline" on a TypeScript f.agent() call today without inventing a field the SDK doesn't have.

Filed the real gap as flows#310 (add cli/model to Ctx.agent in TypeScript, matching YAML's step-level fields) and linked both doc mentions to it, instead of only describing the gap in prose. Also corrected a factual error in flows#300 found while researching this — its "What's shipped" section claimed FlowHeader.agents TS types already exist; they don't (agents: {...} throws unknown fields: agents today).

Verified:

$ npx tsc --noEmit
(clean, no output)

$ npm run build
... /docs/relayflows/introduction, /docs/relayflows/build prerendered
Build succeeded, exit 0.

… shipped

flows#310 merged (AgentWorkforce/flows@673e256): Ctx.agent's options are
now { task, workspace?, cli?, model? } in the real shipped SDK -- verified
directly against origin/main's packages/surface/src/context.ts:

  export interface AgentOptions {
    task: string;
    workspace?: string;
    cli?: string;
    model?: string;
  }

authored-worker-step.ts passes cli/model through into the compiled
StepSpec the same way workspace already did, so an authored step now
resolves at the same 'step' precedence YAML gets (preflight.ts's
resolveCli, unchanged: step > named agent > flow > project).

- introduction.mdx: "A whole flow"'s TypeScript f.agent call now sets
  cli/model directly, matching the YAML step. Dropped the flows.json
  comment/prose workaround from the prior round; the fallback chain is
  now just the "if you omit it" case, not the only option.
- build.mdx: same change to the "Two ways to author the same thing"
  example, plus updated the literal Ctx interface's agent() signature
  and the Note about YAML-only fields (cli/model is no longer one of
  them).
- multi-agent.mdx: corrected the Note that said TypeScript's f.agent
  takes only { task, workspace } -- it now also has cli/model per call.
  Left the actual named-agent *map* (agents: + agent: selector, reused
  by name across steps) correctly described as still YAML-only
  (flows#300, unaffected by this change).

Build (`npm run build`) was not captured green this round -- two
consecutive attempts each ran past 15 minutes without completing or
erroring (machine-local slowness, not a code issue as far as tsc could
tell); skipped per explicit instruction rather than reported as false
evidence. Flagging this honestly in case the next preview build surfaces
something tsc can't catch.

`f.run` (a `deterministic` step in YAML) executes a shell command and returns its output. `f.agent` (an `agent` step) hands a task to a coding agent and returns a summary rather than a raw transcript. `f.done` finishes the run with one reason from a closed set: `success`, `step_failed`, `canceled`, or `budget_exceeded`. There's no fifth option to guess about.

Both steps above name their own `cli` and `model` directly — `Ctx.agent`'s options are `{ task, workspace?, cli?, model? }`, matching the YAML step's fields ([flows#310](https://github.com/AgentWorkforce/flows/issues/310)). Neither is required: omit `cli` and a step falls back to its flow's `cli`, then the nearest `flows.json`'s project-wide default; omit `model` and it just runs whatever model its resolved CLI defaults to, since there's no flow or project default for that. Without a `cli` at step, flow, or project level, `flows run` refuses before anything is journaled — exit `2`, `REFUSED [invalid_spec]`.

Use cli_unresolved for a missing CLI.

When no CLI resolves for a valid flow, preflight returns kind: 'cli_unresolved'. invalid_spec is emitted only when compilation fails. Update the diagnostic:

Proposed fix
- Without a `cli` at step, flow, or project level, `flows run` refuses before anything is journaled — exit `2`, `REFUSED [invalid_spec]`.

Adds a BannerLink at the top of "Build a flow" to
AgentWorkforce/skills' new writing-relayflows skill (PR
AgentWorkforce/skills#104, not yet merged) --
give a coding agent that skill instead of pasting this page into its
context.

The skill covers exactly this page's ladder (run/llm/agent,
verification, TypeScript vs YAML, cli/model resolution) plus the CLI's
real refusal shapes, verified by actually building the SDK from source
and running `flows check` against the same examples this page uses --
see the skill's own "Verified against" section for the captured
commands and output.

Verified:
$ npx tsc --noEmit
(clean, no output)

$ npm run build
... /docs/relayflows/build prerendered
Build succeeded, exit 0, elapsed 89475ms.

Added a pointer to a new writing-relayflows skill

Filed and wrote AgentWorkforce/skills#104 (`writing-relayflows`, not yet merged) — it turns out flows' own README.md already had a dangling reference to this exact skill name (npx skills add ... --skill writing-relayflows) that never existed until now.

The skill covers the same ladder this page does (run/llm/agent, verification, TypeScript vs YAML, cli/model resolution, flows.json), verified by actually building @relayflows/surface/@relayflows/sdk from source and running flows check against the same examples — real CHECK PASSED/REFUSED [...] transcripts, not just source citations. Added a BannerLink at the top of build.mdx pointing to it.

Verified:

$ npx tsc --noEmit
(clean, no output)

$ npm run build
... /docs/relayflows/build prerendered
Build succeeded, exit 0, elapsed 89475ms.

Replaces the vague 'authorized for workflow:invoke:write and
workflow:runs:read' instruction with the real, verified path:
agent-relay cloud login + agent-relay cloud session --json --reveal-token.

Verified against AgentWorkforce/cloud source, not guessed:
- cli:auth scope (minted by agent-relay cloud login, via
  GET /api/v1/cli/login) is explicitly accepted by both
  POST /api/v1/workflows/run (run/route.ts:1098-1104) and
  GET /api/v1/workflows/runs/{runId} (runs/[runId]/route.ts:16-19,
  via requireAuthScope's CLI_ALLOWED_SCOPES in request-auth.ts:429-436)
  even though it isn't the literal workflow:invoke:write/workflow:runs:read
  scope strings.
- The literal scoped token (workflow:invoke:read/write,
  workflow:runs:read, workflow:logs:read) is minted only by
  packages/web/scripts/mint-ci-token.ts with CI_TOKEN_PROFILE=workflow-invoke,
  which requires direct DB access and is documented as Agent Relay's own
  CI credential (docs/runbooks/relay-ci-workflow-credential.md) -- not a
  path available to a typical flows user.
- Token prefix cld_at_ (api-token-store.ts:94-96, 206-207) is compatible
  with the SDK's rk_/ot_ prefix rejection in cloud-http.ts:25-27.

Verified locally:
$ npx tsc --noEmit          # exit 0
$ npm run build              # exit 0, 51.5s, all 440 routes prerendered

Fixed the vague FLOWS_CLOUD_TOKEN instruction in cloud.mdx (e3c554d): it used to just say 'authorized for workflow:invoke:write and workflow:runs:read' with no path to get one. Checked the cloud repo source directly to find the real mechanism:

  • agent-relay cloud login (--device for headless) + agent-relay cloud session --json --reveal-token — self-serve, any Cloud account, no special access. Mints a cli:auth-scoped token that Cloud's workflow-run endpoints explicitly accept for both submit and poll (verified against run/route.ts and runs/[runId]/route.ts), even though it's not the literal workflow:invoke:write/workflow:runs:read scope string.
  • The literal narrow-scoped token is minted only by an operator script (mint-ci-token.ts with CI_TOKEN_PROFILE=workflow-invoke) requiring direct DB access — that's Agent Relay's own CI credential, not something a typical flows user can/should reach for. Docs now say so explicitly and point at the self-serve path instead.

Verified: npx tsc --noEmit (exit 0) and npm run build (exit 0, 51.5s, all 440 routes prerendered).

build.mdx's skill pointer only mentioned npx skills add, missing the
npx prpm install option that every other skill-install callout on this
site uses (agents/build.mdx, factory/configuration.mdx). Replaced the
BannerLink one-liner with the same '## Use the skill' + bash code block
pattern, listing both install paths for writing-relayflows.

Verified:
$ npx tsc --noEmit   # exit 0
$ npm run build      # exit 0, 102.8s

Fixed the skill install callout in build.mdx (24eab76) — it only had npx skills add, missing the npx prpm install option that agents/build.mdx and factory/configuration.mdx both show. Now matches house style: a '## Use the skill' section with both install paths in one code block.

Verified: npx tsc --noEmit (exit 0), npm run build (exit 0, 102.8s).
