Workflow Run

This handles the full lifecycle of running workflows in two different modes. For MCP workflows, you get execute, pause, resume, cancel, and status operations with support for sequential, parallel, conditional, and manual gate execution. For native .claude/workflows/*.js files, it invokes the Workflow tool and manages deterministic subagent fan-outs with journal-based resume from a prior runId. The MCP side is stateful orchestration, the native side is cached replay. Use it when you need to actually run a workflow you've already defined, not just create or inspect one. The two surfaces don't share a pause mechanism, which is a bit awkward but reflects the underlying architecture.

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):

Execute — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_execute or mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_run with the workflow ID
Monitor — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_status to check progress and step outcomes
Pause — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_pause to halt at the current step
Resume — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_resume to continue from where paused
Cancel — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__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/).
