SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables real-time visibility into the status of Output SDK workflows, reducing manual checks and enabling faster issue detection.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Retrieve current workflow status (RUNNING, COMPLETED, FAILED, TERMINATED, TIMED_OUT) by workflow ID.
  • Interpret statuses and determine next actions such as fetching results or starting debug procedures.
  • Ideal for monitoring long-running processes and automating health checks in scripts.

Quick Start

Start by checking a workflow's status with npx output workflow status <workflowId> to see its current state.

Frequently Asked Questions about output-workflow-status

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check the status of an Output SDK workflow?▼

To check an Output SDK workflow status, run the CLI command `npx output workflow status <workflowId>` to retrieve its current state, such as RUNNING, COMPLETED, or FAILED. This provides real-time visibility without manual polling.

What does the TERMINATED workflow status mean in Output SDK?▼

The TERMINATED workflow status indicates that the process was stopped before completion. When you query an Output SDK workflow and receive this status, diagnosing why it cannot return a result requires investigating external termination triggers or script interruptions.

Can I use the output-sdk CLI to automate health checks for long-running workflows?▼

Yes, the Output SDK CLI is ideal for automating health checks in scripts. By querying workflow statuses like RUNNING or TIMED_OUT, you can programmatically monitor long-running processes and trigger faster issue detection without manual checks.

Why does my Output SDK workflow return a TIMED_OUT status instead of a result?▼

An Output SDK workflow returns a TIMED_OUT status when it exceeds its execution time limit. Diagnosing why the workflow cannot return a result involves checking the process duration against configured timeouts and optimizing the long-running operations.

What should I do after an Output SDK workflow shows COMPLETED status?▼

After an Output SDK workflow shows a COMPLETED status, the next action is fetching results. Interpreting this status confirms the process finished successfully, allowing you to proceed with retrieving the generated output data from the workflow ID.
