name: workflow-control-plane description: "Keep the host Workflow plane available and route concrete tasks to matching Ready Workflows. Automatically use enabled Workbench Roles for useful ordinary subtasks when no Ready Workflow matches; the user need not request a Role. Manage Workflows on request. Do not start Runs for planning, discussion, comparison, audit, or experiment design."

Workflow control plane

Automatic Roles are the default. When no Ready Workflow matches a concrete request and a helper would materially help, automatically select an enabled Workbench Role and launch its returned adapter. Follow Role orchestration.

The persistent control plane is available without a matching Workflow. Workflows cover end-to-end tasks; Roles assign ordinary helpers through the orchestration skill and never enter running Workflow nodes.

A failed Run is unfinished. On completion_satisfied:false or recovery_required:true, inspect the failed node and evidence, repair or retry that unit. Report completion only when final acceptance makes the Run succeeded.

Read the route for this request

Read only the relevant route; do not load authoring instructions into execution context.

• Exact Ready startup or node packet already supplied: call its named tool with the supplied business arguments and that tool's Host invocation preset. Follow the returned action. The tool and packet supply the execution contract; no execution-reference read, tool inventory, capabilities call, listing or routing is required. Read a reference only for a missing detail or an observed failure.
• Execute an unselected concrete task: read execution to select its Ready Workflow and start it.
• Generate from a Skill or brief: read authoring. It links the semantic contract, independent review, and mandatory completion cleanup.
• Inspect, edit, publish or delete an existing Workflow: read editing.
• Export or install a Workflow package: read packages.
• Recover a failed/interrupted Run or its control: read recovery.
• Remove superseded authoring Drafts: read authoring cleanup.
• Unavailable tools or UI connection failures: read connection diagnosis.
• Meta: planning, comparing, auditing, evaluating, or designing experiments about Skills or Workflows. Work directly. Merely mentioning this plugin is not permission to start a Run.

Open UI with codex_agents_workflow_app or codex_agents_workflow_settings; no Run/thread is created. Use codex_agents_workflow_console for standalone or unsupported hosts. Keep transport/bootstrap out of model context. Report the observed error; never invent receipts, hide App failures or substitute execution.
