SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates durable, observable background work for two lanes: deterministic shell jobs and LLM subagent workflows, reducing manual coordination and state leakage across jobs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified routing and queueing for shell and subagent jobs with progress tracking and lifecycle controls.
  • Durable execution across restarts with pause/resume, cancel, and fan-out support.
  • Steering and observability via structured transcripts and in-flight messages.

Quick Start

Submit a deterministic shell job or a subagent run using the gbrain CLI to begin routing tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate shell jobs and LLM subagent workflows with durable execution?▼

You can orchestrate shell jobs and LLM subagent workflows using a durable, observable queue that supports progress tracking, pause/resume, cancel, and fan-out across restarts.

What is the best way to track progress and manage the lifecycle of background shell and LLM tasks?▼

Track progress and manage task lifecycles using structured progress data and steering interfaces like MCP or CLI, which provide observability through structured transcripts and in-flight messages.

Can I pause and resume background tasks across system restarts?▼

Yes, background tasks are durable across restarts, allowing you to pause, resume, and cancel queued shell jobs or LLM subagent workflows without losing execution state.

Do I need a Postgres-backed queue to route and manage subagent tasks?▼

Yes, routing and lifecycle control for shell and subagent tasks requires a Postgres-backed queue to ensure durable execution and structured progress tracking.

How do I route deterministic shell jobs alongside LLM subagent tasks?▼

Route deterministic shell jobs and LLM subagent tasks through a unified queueing system that coordinates both lanes, reducing manual coordination and preventing state leakage across jobs.

How does fan-out work when orchestrating LLM subagent workflows?▼

Fan-out is supported as part of the lifecycle controls, allowing a single LLM subagent workflow to expand into multiple parallel tasks managed within the same durable queue.
