FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a markdown plan file one task at a time?▼

To execute a markdown plan file one task at a time, provide the plan file path to the automation workflow. It reads ### Task N: or ### Iteration N: sections and runs exactly one uncompleted task before stopping.

What is the best way to automate stepwise task execution without progress logging?▼

The best way to automate stepwise task execution without progress logging is using a plan-driven workflow that processes one uncompleted task section and halts, skipping completed items and returning <<<ALL_TASKS_DONE>>> when finished.

How does a plan-driven workflow handle non-automatable checkboxes?▼

A plan-driven workflow handles non-automatable checkboxes by recognizing the [x] mark within the plan structure. It skips these completed or manual items to advance only to the next uncompleted [ ] checkbox section.

Does stepwise plan execution work with custom markdown task formats?▼

Stepwise plan execution requires specific markdown task formats to function correctly. It relies on parsing ### Task N: or ### Iteration N: headers alongside [ ] and [x] checkboxes to identify and execute the next actionable item.

Why does my plan automation stop after running a single task section?▼

Plan automation stops after running a single task section because it is designed for controlled, stepwise progress. This prevents runaway execution by halting after completing one uncompleted task, allowing incremental verification before proceeding.

When should I not use automated stepwise task execution for my workflow?▼

You should not use automated stepwise task execution if your workflow requires continuous, unattended batch processing or automatic progress logging. It is built specifically for controlled, single-step advancement and manual verification.
