Workflows & Task Tracking

Understand the Workflows view in Burros.AI — a visual task graph showing mission progress, task dependencies, and status for every agent assignment.

Every mission in Burros.AI is executed as a Task Graph. The Workflows page gives you the most detailed view of how your agents are collaborating.

The Task Graph

The Coordinator agent decomposes your mission objective into a hierarchy of tasks.

  • Parent/Child Tasks: High-level goals (e.g., "Implement Backend") are broken into granular steps (e.g., "Define Schema", "Write API Tests").
  • Dependencies: Tasks only become "Ready" once their dependencies are successfully completed.
  • Status Indicators:

- Blue (Ready): Task is waiting for an agent with the required role.

- Indigo (Executing): An agent is actively working on the task.

- Emerald (Completed): Successfully delivered.

- Rose (Failed): Task encountered an error.

Adding Activities Mid-Mission

Sometimes you need to add a new requirement after the mission has already started.

  1. Click the "Add Activity" button in the Workflow header.
  2. Type your new instruction.
  3. The Coordinator will pause, analyze your request, and insert new tasks into the tree dynamically.

Technical Logs (Telemetry)

For power users, every task provides a Technical Log. This shows:

  • Agent Reasoning: The "thought process" behind each action.
  • Tool Invocations: The exact shell commands, git operations, or browser actions the agent performed.
  • Output: The raw result of each tool call.

If a task fails, the Technical Log is your best tool for understanding why it failed and how to provide a course correction in the chat.
