 "title": "Add a durable task ledger with resume instructions",
 "page_title": "How to add a durable task ledger with resume instructions with Agent Workflow Platform",
 "summary": "Track tasks, heartbeats, and checkpoints in a file-backed ledger that a new session can resume from.",
 "who": "A developer or agent running long multi-step work in a repository who loses progress when a chat or process stops.",
 "problem": "Work stopped mid-task has no durable record, so the next session must rebuild context from memory.",
 "outcome": "A ledger in the ignored .agent-workflow/ directory holds the task, its checkpoint, and a rebuilt resume instruction that a new session can follow.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the repository with `git clone https://github.com/primorLee/agent-workflow-platform.git` and enter it with `cd agent-workflow-platform`.",
  "Add a task with `python workflows/runtime/scheduler.py add \"Create a deterministic smoke test\" 2 --group reliability`.",
  "Record progress with `python workflows/runtime/scheduler.py heartbeat`.",
  "Save a checkpoint with `python workflows/runtime/scheduler.py checkpoint \"Run the regression and attach its output\"`.",
  "Stop the process, then in a new terminal or agent session run `python workflows/runtime/guardian.py resume`."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the agent-workflow-platform repository, add a task to the scheduler, send a heartbeat, and save a checkpoint with the status of <your-task>. Then run guardian.py resume in a new session and report the rebuilt resume instruction, confirming it comes from the durable state under .agent-workflow/.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the scheduler does not spawn Agents or execute tasks, and Guardian does not restart a process, so you must run the work yourself and only use the ledger to record and resume it.",
