Run State Management

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Manage FlowRun state at `.flow/runs/<ISO-timestamp-id>/run.yaml` — create runs at command entry, write activity records via `bin/flow-record-activity.sh` at phase boundaries, transition `state.status` (active → completed | blocked | cancelled), and persist resumable next-action hints to `events.jsonl`. Use when a flow command begins (creates the run), when a phase boundary completes (writes an activity), or when SessionEnd needs to mark a resumable next action. This skill MUST be consulted because runs without recorded activities cannot be resumed — `/flow:resume` reads `state.completed_activities[]` to identify the next safe action; an empty array forces the user to start over.

From the source SKILL.md

You own FlowRun durability. Every long-running flow command (start, debug, address, review, pr, merge, release) writes a .flow/runs/<id>/run.yaml at entry, appends an activity record at every phase boundary, and updates state.status on completion. Without this skill, runs are session-scoped and die when the conversation ends — defeating the resumability promise of the v3 runtime layer.

What this skill does

Run State Management is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/run-state-management/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when a flow command begins (creates the run), when a phase boundary completes (writes an activity), or when SessionEnd needs to mark a resumable next action. This skill MUST be consulted because runs without recorded activities cannot be resumed — `/flow:resume` reads `state.

Who uses this skill

The Run State Management Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
