Audit of web/content/docs/relayflows/* (plus the onboarding generator comment and the /flows marketing samples) against AgentWorkforce/flows fe8d7606 (v2.0.16). Method: every claim checked against the CLI USAGE block, the surface types, SURFACE.md/CLOUD.md/BUDGET.md; every code sample (11 doc samples + 12 marketing samples) extracted and run through tsc and flows check against a built 2.0.16 surface — all typecheck, all pass check except the two noted at the bottom.

Audit table

Location Claim Verdict Fix / lands in
cli.mdx:7,25, quickstart.mdx:80 flows check takes only flow.yaml/spec.json wrong accepts .flow.ts and --watch; rewritten
cli.mdx:6-15 command surface (8 lines) missing full 2.0.16 USAGE: --sync-code, sync, deploy <flow.ts>, deployments, undeploy, replay, build, digest deploy, add, serve-webhook, --reuse-from, --allow-human-influenced, resume --local-agent
cli.mdx:66 --json only on check/run/resume wrong also replay, build, sync, deploy, deployments, undeploy
cloud.mdx:51 --cloud refuses authored .flow.ts wrong accepted with --input since 2.0.16 (#440)
cloud.mdx:32 "the flows CLI never logs in for you" wrong falls back to the agent-relay cloud login store, bound to its issuing URL
cloud.mdx --sync-code, flows sync, listener deploy verbs, submission_aborted missing added
cloud.mdx:28-29 finished.completionReason wrong (type error: union) narrowed with 'completionReason' in finished
introduction.mdx:55, build.mdx:90, multi-agent.mdx:64, 5 marketing samples f.done('canceled') / budget_exceeded as authored verdicts wrong refused unsupported_completion at runtime; verdicts are success/step_failed/needs_human/declined (declined shipped in 2.0.16, #439)
introduction.mdx:57 missing CLI → REFUSED [invalid_spec] wrong cli_unresolved (verified with flows check)
introduction.mdx:57 omitted model "runs whatever the CLI defaults to" wrong Claude adapter default is claude-opus-5; Codex has none
introduction.mdx, build.mdx flows.json models allowlist missing with a models list every declared model must be on it (model_unknown)
build.mdx:73-79 budget is YAML-only wrong TS header: "$5/run", "$20/day", { tokens, dollars, wallclock }
build.mdx:133 budget = maxTokensIn/maxTokensOut/maxDollars wrong (legacy envelope) current forms + Codex-unmetered rule (#421, 2.0.13)

build.mdx:100-101 verification = output_contains + json_schema missing exit_code, four named gates, postfix .gate(config), vacuous_gate
build.mdx, marketing samples (20 uses) .gate((r) => r.artifacts.includes(…)), r.artifacts not shipped refused unsupported_gate / always [] in 2.0.16; marked "lands in flows#449"; sample shape kept
marketing samples (3 uses) workspace: "review/: readwrite" not shipped refused unsupported_workspace_permission; noted in build.mdx, samples left for product decision
introduction.mdx:19, build.mdx:99, multi-agent.mdx:88-96, 5 marketing samples (support-triage, content-pipeline, voicemail-follow-up, redacted-summary, issue-routing) f.human(...), f.dispatch(...) presented as working not shipped typed + preflighted, refused unsupported_verb at runtime (authored-flow-executor.ts:409); implementing on flows feat/f-human, lands in the release after 2.0.17. Note added where each is introduced naming f.done('needs_human') + flows resume as the shipped human gate; sample shapes kept (ced4c27)
marketing repo-migration f.agent({ cwd }) not shipped in the surface type, rejected by the 2.0.16 kernel spec (unknown field "cwd"); flagged only
marketing software-factory f.github.createPullRequest({ repo, head, base, bodyPath }) wrong (type error) { owner, repo, title, head, base, body }
memory-and-integrations.mdx:12-24 recall/why interpolated as strings; learn(string) wrong arrays of entries (e.prompt), learn(finding) refuses in 2.0.16; memory: { script: true } header shown

reliability.mdx:10-15,23-28 exit codes / vocabulary incomplete run_not_found → 2, declined → 0, authored verdict list
cli.mdx:64 "tick … durable schedule" correct, but implied hosted clarified: local process; hosted v2 schedules not shipped
web/lib/flow-onboarding.ts:100 dollar budget refuses model-less Codex wrong (stale since 2.0.13) comment rewritten; { wallclock } kept with the current reason
quickstart, introduction samples, YAML samples, reliability daemon/lock text, exit-code semantics, three rules correct unchanged

Counts: wrong 16 · missing 6 · not-yet-shipped 5 (marked, not rewritten) · correct 8 · unverified 2.

Language convention (second commit, 556c0ac)

Every flow example is shown in TypeScript; YAML is reached only through the docs' Language dropdown (<CodeGroup>, first fence typescript TypeScript, second yaml YAML). Audited all 8 relayflows pages and the 9 factory pages (the factory pages contain no flow samples).

Samples converted (bare YAML → TS-first CodeGroup, TS twin written and verified with tsc + flows check):

  • introduction.mdx §Verification — hello-agent (TS uses postfix .gate({ type: 'regex_match' }))
  • multi-agent.mdx §Named agents — ship-feature (TS spreads per-agent { cli, model } objects; Note rewritten around flows#300)
  • build.mdx §Permissions and recovery — YAML step fragment expanded to a full flow with a TS twin stating the TS defaults

YAML-first CodeGroups to reorder: none (all existing groups were already TS-first). Prose: quickstart.mdx §2 and build.mdx §Two ways no longer open with "YAML is canonical" / "YAML describes…"; the canonical-data statement stays, after TypeScript.

Not fixed here / needs a product decision

  • web/lib/flow-local.ts pins RELAYFLOWS_VERSION = '2.0.15' with a deliberate tripwire test and generates f.done("needs_human") guards "until a pin contains declined". 2.0.16 contains it. Bumping the pin and switching the generated guards to declined changes what users get from onboarding — left for the owner.
  • Marketing samples' .gate(fn) / r.artifacts (20) and workspace: "…: readwrite" (3): kept as marketing shape; they run only after flows#449 lands and Cloud's runtime pin moves. repo-migration's cwd is rejected by the kernel today.
  • Marketing samples' f.human (5) and the docs' f.dispatch: kept as shape; they run only after flows feat/f-human ships (release after 2.0.17) and Cloud's runtime pin moves.
  • gpt-5.6-codex (multi-agent.mdx) fails the Codex model probe on my machine; may be my credential. Left as is.
  • web/content/blog/promptgramming.mdx uses $5/run / $8/run budgets — correct, out of scope.
  • The pre-existing flow-workflows.test.ts failure ("lockfile needs a package manager that cannot be provisioned") reproduces on origin/main with my changes stashed; it depends on pnpm/corepack presence on the host.

Verification: tsc --noEmit clean for web/; vitest: 145 passed, 1 failed (pre-existing, above).

Note

Low Risk
Changes are limited to documentation, example strings, and static assets; no production auth, billing, or runtime code paths are modified.

Overview
This PR re-audits Relayflows documentation and on-site flow samples against relayflows 2.0.16, fixing inaccurate CLI/API claims and documenting what is not runnable yet.

Documentation across web/content/docs/relayflows/* now reflects the real command surface (including --sync-code, sync, listener deploy, replay, build, webhooks), TypeScript-first examples with YAML behind the language switch, and corrected runtime behavior: authored f.done verdicts (declined, needs_human), cli_unresolved, flows check on .flow.ts, Cloud --input for authored flows, credential resolution via agent-relay cloud login, verification via named/postfix gates, memory/integration return shapes, and explicit notes that f.human / f.dispatch, callback .gate(fn), and empty artifacts are refused in 2.0.16 (with f.done('needs_human') + flows resume as the shipped human gate). A new Cookbook page, nav entry, deploy-flow_small.svg, and cloud quick paths were added; flow-onboarding.ts comments were updated for Codex budget metering.

Marketing carousel samples in flow-examples.ts swap artifact callback gates for subprocess_gate, fix createPullRequest args, use declined instead of canceled, and annotate f.human as not yet executed by the SDK.

Next.js agent boilerplate (web/AGENTS.md, web/CLAUDE.md) was added for local dev tooling.

Summary by cubic

Audits the Relayflows docs and marketing flow samples against flows v2.0.16/2.0.17, correcting wrong CLI and API claims, documenting the hosted surface, and marking features that typecheck but don't run yet.

Docs corrections

  • flows check accepts .flow.ts and --watch; flows run --cloud accepts authored flows with --input, and the 2.0.16 HTTP 400 bug is documented as fixed in 2.0.17.
  • Authored verdicts are success, step_failed, needs_human, declined; canceled and budget_exceeded are kernel-only, and a missing CLI refuses with cli_unresolved.
  • Documented the hosted surface: --sync-code, flows sync, deploy/deployments/undeploy, replay, build, serve-webhook, --reuse-from, --allow-human-influenced, plus cloud credential fallback and exit-code semantics.
  • f.human/f.dispatch and callback .gate(fn) refuse at runtime in 2.0.16; each is marked as landing later, with f.done('needs_human') + flows resume as the shipped human gate.
  • Marketing flow examples now use subprocess_gate configs and the declined verdict; f.human calls are annotated as not yet executable.
  • Added a Cookbook page linking verified recipes with Deploy Flow badges, and agentrelay.com/cloud as the no-install path.

Written for commit b3b8da7. Summary will update on new commits.

…ng hosted verbs

Every claim in web/content/docs/relayflows/*.mdx was checked against
AgentWorkforce/flows fe8d7606 (v2.0.16): the CLI USAGE block, the surface
types, SURFACE.md / CLOUD.md / BUDGET.md, and by extracting every code
sample and running `tsc` plus `flows check` against a built 2.0.16 surface.

Wrong now, fixed:
- `flows check` does accept `.flow.ts` (and `--watch`); quickstart and cli
  said it did not.
- `flows run --cloud` accepts an authored `.flow.ts` with `--input`; cloud
  said only declarative flows.
- `f.done` verdicts are success / step_failed / needs_human / declined;
  `canceled` and `budget_exceeded` are refused at runtime
  (`unsupported_completion`). introduction, build, multi-agent and five
  marketing samples used `canceled`; they now use `declined`, which
  shipped in 2.0.16.
- A missing CLI refuses `cli_unresolved`, not `invalid_spec`.
- `budget` is a TypeScript header too (`"$5/run"`, `"$20/day"`,
  `{ tokens, dollars, wallclock }`); build.mdx called it YAML-only and
  listed the legacy `maxTokensIn/Out/maxDollars` envelope.
- `f.memory.recall`/`why` return entry arrays, not strings; `learn`
  refuses in 2.0.16. The sample interpolated `[object Object]`.
- `f.github.createPullRequest` takes `{ owner, repo, title, head, base,
  body }`; the software-factory marketing sample passed `bodyPath` and
  no title (a type error).
- The onboarding comment justifying a wall-clock budget cited the #421
  refusal, fixed in 2.0.13; the comment now states the current reason.

Missing, added: the whole hosted surface (`--sync-code`, `flows sync`,
`flows deploy <flow.ts> --repo --on --approver`, `deployments`,
`undeploy`), the login-store credential fallback, `replay`, `build` /
digest `deploy`, `serve-webhook`, `--reuse-from`,
`--allow-human-influenced`, exit-code detail (`run_not_found` → 2,
`declined` → 0), verification kinds (`exit_code`, the four named gates,
postfix `.gate(config)`), `flows.json` `models` allowlist, and where
deterministic steps actually run (the daemon's cwd).

Not yet shipped, now marked as such instead of implied available:
callback `.gate(fn)` and `r.artifacts` (flows#449), PR-event listeners
and hosted v2 schedules. Marketing samples keep their `.gate(fn)` /
`artifacts` shape on purpose.

`flows check` works on the TypeScript flow too — `npx flows check hello.flow.ts` — and `flows run` repeats the same preflight before its first step.

🟡 Quickstart note becomes hidden tab

The new flows check note becomes a third CodeGroup tab instead of normal text. Readers see a “Tab 3” control and miss the note by default.

Learn more

CodeGroup treats every direct React element as a selectable block. The paragraph is therefore included alongside the two fenced code blocks, and its missing code-fence label becomes “Tab 3.” Moving the closing tag above the paragraph restores the two-language selector and renders the note normally.

Example: A reader with TypeScript selected sees only the TypeScript command. They must discover and select “Tab 3” to read the new preflight note.

Recommended fix: Close CodeGroup immediately after the YAML code fence, then place the note below it.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the callback gates in this sample.

RelayFlows 2.0.16 refuses .gate((r) => …) with unsupported_gate. This sample uses three callback gates. Each gate also checks artifacts, which the documentation states is always empty in 2.0.16. Users who copy this flow cannot pass these steps.

Use supported named gates, such as subprocess_gate commands that check plan.md, summary.md, and review.passed.

Replace callback gates in the public examples. FlowExamples.tsx imports and renders flowExamples, so these examples are reachable public onboarding content. RelayFlows 2.0.16 refuses callback-form .gate((r) => …) calls with unsupported_gate, and artifacts is always empty in that version. The support-triage, content-pipeline, voicemail-follow-up, and redacted-summary examples therefore cannot pass their gates.

Replace these callbacks with supported named gates, such as subprocess_gate checks for the required files. One correction in web/app/flows/flow-examples.ts covers all four examples.

Validates the spec: schema, step graph, verification blocks, and whether every declared CLI actually exists and is authenticated. Nothing runs and nothing is spawned. This is the same preflight a run does before its first step, exposed on its own so a broken spec fails in CI instead of at minute 27 of a real run.
Validates the flow: schema, step graph, verification blocks, helper and trigger declarations, and whether every declared CLI actually exists and is authenticated (a real `claude -p --model …` / `codex exec …` probe, not a version check). Nothing runs and nothing is spawned — `check` never opens the daemon socket, and refuses `--data-dir` for that reason. It prints one `GATE` line per verification and one `RESOLVED` line per `llm`/`agent` step naming the CLI and model and where they came from (step, named agent, flow, or `flows.json`).

Clarify the execution boundary of flows check. The preflight invokes declared CLI probes, so “nothing runs” is inaccurate unless it is limited to flow runtime components.

  • web/content/docs/relayflows/cli.mdx#L44-L44: state that no flow, worker, or daemon starts, but declared CLI probes execute.
  • web/content/docs/relayflows/quickstart.mdx#L66-L66: align the quickstart wording with that scoped behavior.

Based on learnings: CLI behavior must be verified before it is documented.

… the language switch

Convention: every flow example is shown in TypeScript, with the YAML form
reachable only through the docs' Language dropdown (`<CodeGroup>`, first
fence `typescript TypeScript`, second `yaml YAML`).

- introduction.mdx §Verification: bare YAML sample wrapped; TS twin uses
  postfix `.gate({ type: 'regex_match' })`.
- multi-agent.mdx §Named agents: bare YAML sample wrapped; TS twin spreads
  per-agent `{ cli, model }` objects, the idiom until an `agents:` header
  exists (flows#300); the Note rewritten around that.
- build.mdx §Permissions and recovery: YAML step fragment wrapped as a full
  flow with a TS twin that states what the TS body gets by default.
- quickstart.mdx, build.mdx: the "YAML is canonical" / "YAML describes…"
  sentences no longer lead; TypeScript is named the default first.

All three new TS samples pass `tsc` and `flows check` against 2.0.16.

Rewrites the introduction's opening in the same register as flows PR #453
("Stop babysitting agents. Script them.") and adds a new Cookbook page
linking every verified recipe in AgentWorkforce/flows-cookbook, plus a
real "Deploy Flow" badge asset (the reused launch-agent badge always
rendered "Launch Agent" regardless of alt text).

Both verbs are declared in @relayflows/surface and pass `flows check`, but
the 2.0.16 authored executor refuses them at runtime (`unsupported_verb`,
authored-flow-executor.ts). They are being implemented on flows
`feat/f-human` and land in the release after 2.0.17. A Note where each is
introduced (introduction, build, multi-agent) says so and names the shipped
human gate, `f.done('needs_human')` + `flows resume`. Sample shapes are
unchanged.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove unavailable verbs from the TypeScript guidance.

Line 69 recommends f.human and f.dispatch as TypeScript use cases. Lines 101-105 state that both verbs return unsupported_verb at runtime in 2.0.16. A user can therefore create a flow that passes flows check but cannot run. Limit this guidance to supported control flow, or label these verbs as future-release-only.

Fix or remove the broken deploy badge.

The image source returns HTTP 404, so the page shows a broken badge. Use a published asset URL or remove the image reference.

…maining page

flow-examples.ts (the public flows carousel): every example used the
predicate-form .gate((r) => r.artifacts.includes(...)), which is refused
at runtime (unsupported_gate). Replaced all 9 occurrences with the real
subprocess_gate config form. 5 examples also called f.human, which throws
unsupported_verb — annotated each call rather than silently leaving broken
example code as the first thing a visitor sees about flow syntax.

Ran a systematic, CLI-verified pass over every remaining relayflows docs
page (cli.mdx, cloud.mdx, build.mdx, multi-agent.mdx,
memory-and-integrations.mdx, reliability.mdx) rather than trust what was
already written. reliability.mdx held up completely. Found and fixed
real "typechecks but doesn't execute" gaps elsewhere:
- f.human/f.dispatch presented as working in build.mdx and multi-agent.mdx
  (real: unsupported_verb on both, filed nowhere as clearly before now)
- workspace: 'x: readonly' claimed to be the problem; a bare workspace
  value fails identically under --local-agent, so the annotation was
  never the actual cause
- flows check claimed to verify ai-hist memory reachability; only
  flows run actually does
- flows build doesn't work for any flow()-pattern authored TS flow,
  with no documented alternative shape
- flows run --cloud <flow.ts> --input is broken (HTTP 400 / misrouted
  into the declarative loader) in both cli.mdx and cloud.mdx's examples,
  independently reproduced in each

Also: quickstart.mdx's flows check note was rendering as an unlabeled
third CodeGroup tab instead of prose; the run ID in "if it gets
interrupted" had no stated source; added agentrelay.com/cloud as the
no-install path in introduction.mdx and quickstart.mdx; added Deploy
Flow badges to every cookbook.mdx recipe; removed GitHub issue/PR
hyperlinks site-wide per policy, keeping the reference as plain text.

…rce/agentrelay.com into docs/relayflows-audit-2-0-16

Resolved: a parallel session independently found and documented the same
f.human/f.dispatch unsupported_verb issue in build.mdx and multi-agent.mdx
while this session's fix was in flight. Combined both — kept the more
precise detail from each (exact error text, feat/f-human branch and
post-2.0.17 timeline, the f.done('needs_human') + flows resume workaround)
into one Note per page instead of two redundant ones.

Caught this right before merging the same content into the
writing-relayflows skill: flows#461 (flows run --cloud broken for
authored TS flows) was closed today by a real CLI fix. Re-verified
directly against relayflows@2.0.17 rather than trust the tracker
alone — flows run --cloud --wait <flow.ts> --input, with and without
--sync-code, now submits successfully and returns a real run id where
2.0.16 gave an immediate HTTP 400 or misrouted into the declarative
loader. Root cause was a Surface version mismatch between Cloud and
the CLI, badly reported.

Running next dev locally flipped this to .next/dev/types/... — a
dev-mode codegen artifact, not something this PR's actual changes
require. Reverted to the .next/types/... path already on main; it'll
get regenerated correctly by whatever build step actually needs it.
