Overview

Steering a running mission

Things you can say#

  • "Tell the UI task to use shadcn."
  • "Kill the flaky one."
  • "Hold the deploy step until I review the migration."
  • "This is going the wrong way — re-plan the second half."

Medley relays your intent to the right worker or adjusts the graph. You do not need to know task ids.

Resolving attention items#

When a worker hits a sign-off gate, it lands in the attention queue. Answer it and the mission continues. Unanswered gates hold that branch, not the whole mission.

Reading digests#

Rather than streaming every worker into your chat, Medley relays digests — what finished, what the engine's review said, what needs you next. For the raw stream, open the dashboard.

When the plan was wrong#

Say so. The engine re-plans against the contract rather than forcing the original graph to completion. Changing direction mid-mission is expected, not a failure state.
