Create a slash command that allows the manual execution of a Task Flow or lobster workflow.

Summary

Create a slash command that allows the manual execution of a Task Flow or lobster workflow.

Problem to solve

Currently there's no way to explicitly instruct an agent to perform a task flow or a lobster workflow. It would be more effective (faster, tokens, etc.) to run these manual in some cases. Especially helpful for testing and pre-defined workflows that can't run exactly on a schedule.

Proposed solution

A slash command that can perform these manually. Should take in an optional argument to provide json arguments.

Alternatives considered

Installing lobster and calling it manually, but this requires terminal access (can't be done through a channel). Same with curl commands directly to the gateway.

Impact

Enables all task flow and lobster users additional capabilities.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implement a slash command to manually execute Task Flows or lobster workflows with optional JSON arguments.

Guidance

  • Define the slash command's syntax and parameters to accept the workflow type and optional JSON arguments.
  • Determine the authentication and authorization requirements for the slash command to ensure secure execution of workflows.
  • Investigate existing APIs or interfaces for executing Task Flows and lobster workflows to integrate with the slash command.
  • Consider implementing input validation and error handling for the JSON arguments to prevent errors or security vulnerabilities.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to lack of specific technical details.

Notes

The solution requires knowledge of the underlying workflow execution APIs and the platform's slash command implementation. Additional information about the platform, workflows, and security requirements would be necessary for a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed slash command solution to provide manual execution capabilities for Task Flows and lobster workflows, as it addresses the current limitation and provides additional capabilities for users.
