Workflow Run

Run and manage a workflow on either surface.

A — MCP workflow lifecycle

When you need to run a persisted definition and control its lifecycle (pause/resume/cancel):

1. Execute — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_execute or mcp__claude-flow__workflow_run with the workflow ID
2. Monitor — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_status to check progress and step outcomes
3. Pause — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_pause to halt at the current step
4. Resume — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_resume to continue from where paused
5. Cancel — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_cancel to abort the workflow

Execution modes: sequential, parallel (independent steps), conditional (branch on outcome), manual gate (pause for human approval).

B — Native .claude/workflows/*.js

When you need a deterministic subagent fan-out, run a named native workflow with the Workflow tool. The named workflows are the meta.name of each .claude/workflows/*.js file (list them with /workflow or ls .claude/workflows/).
