Script-run workstation

Configure type = SCRIPT_RUN for script worker dispatch through a SCRIPT_WORKER backend.

How To Use

Author a workstation with type SCRIPT_RUN and bind a SCRIPT_WORKER. Choose behavior for the scheduling axis you need — STANDARD for fire-once dispatch, REPEATER for change-triggered loops, CRON for schedules, or POLLER for long-lived poller ingress. Wire inputs plus outputs, onContinue, onRejection, and onFailure so script outcomes route correctly. Put command and args on the SCRIPT_WORKER, not on this workstation type. Do not set promptFile, openCodeAgent, classificationRoutes, or operation bindings that belong to other WorkstationType families. Choose AGENT_RUN for agent loops, INFERENCE_RUN for bounded inference, or MODEL_WORKSTATION for prompt-file model steps. SCRIPT_RUN is not a scheduling behavior and is not MODEL_WORKSTATION — keep promptFile and model prompt surfaces on the model-workstation type.

Discriminator: type = SCRIPT_RUN

SCRIPT_RUN requires a SCRIPT_WORKER companion and is compatible with every published WorkstationKind. Bind the script worker, then choose scheduling on the behavior axis.

Schema reference

The embed below shows the live Workstation base definition with SCRIPT_RUN overlay applicability. SCRIPT_RUN has no selected exclusive fields. Excluded fields belong to other WorkstationType families or to CRON scheduling and must not appear on this type.

Workstation

object

A processing step in the factory graph. Workstations consume authored work states, run a worker or logical move, and emit the next work states.

Fields

behaviorbehaviorOptionalWorkstationKind
Scheduling behavior for this workstation, such as STANDARD, REPEATER, or CRON execution.
bodybodyOptionalstring
Inline workstation instructions or script body when authored directly in factory config.
classificationRoutesclassificationRoutesOptionalClassificationRoute[]Excluded
Explicit label-to-destination routing used only by CLASSIFIER_WORKSTATION definitions. Each route must declare a unique non-empty label and one or more outputs.
copyReferencedScriptscopyReferencedScriptsOptionalboolean
Copy supported referenced script files into the expanded workstation layout when config expand runs.
croncronOptionalWorkstationCronExcluded
Cron trigger configuration for workstations whose behavior is CRON.
descriptiondescriptionOptionalNameValue
Optional localized customer-facing explanation of this workstation.
envenvOptionalStringMap
Environment variables added to the workstation execution context.
guardsguardsOptionalWorkstationGuard[]Excluded
Guarded loop breakers should use `VISIT_COUNT` guards here with a `LOGICAL_MOVE` workstation instead of top-level exhaustion rules.
ididOptionalstring
Optional durable public identifier for this workstation. Graph and layout references should use this id instead of the mutable name.
inputsinputsRequiredWorkstationIO[]
Work states this workstation can consume before it dispatches.
limitslimitsOptionalWorkstationLimits
Retry and execution ceilings applied to this workstation.
namenameRequiredstring
Customer-authored workstation name used by guards, diagnostics, and authored references.
onContinueonContinueOptionalWorkstationIO[]
Optional destination emitted when the workstation makes partial progress and should continue iterating. Classifier workstations must not declare onContinue.
onFailureonFailureOptionalWorkstationIO[]
Optional destination emitted when the workstation fails permanently.
onRejectiononRejectionOptionalWorkstationIO[]
Optional destination emitted when the worker rejects the current work without a hard failure. Classifier workstations must not declare onRejection.
operationoperationOptionalModelOperationNameExcluded
Uppercase provider-agnostic operation requested by `MODEL_INVOKE` workstations, such as `TTS`.
operationBindingsoperationBindingsOptionalWorkstationOperationBinding[]Excluded
Optional workstation-authored slot bindings that resolve operation inputs from runtime content or static config content.
outcomeFormatoutcomeFormatOptionalWorkstationOutcomeFormatExcluded
Optional worker-output parsing mode for model workstations. When set to `decision-envelope`, agent output is parsed as a reviewer/checker JSON envelope that maps directly onto WorkResult outcome, feedback, output, and optional recorded output work instead of stop-token routing.
outputSchemaoutputSchemaOptionalstringExcluded
JSON schema string used to validate or parse structured model output when configured.
outputsoutputsOptionalWorkstationIO[]
Work states emitted after a non-classifier workstation succeeds. Classifier workstations must use classificationRoutes instead of normal success outputs.
promptFilepromptFileOptionalstringExcluded
Path to a prompt template file loaded for model-oriented workstation execution.
resourcesresourcesOptionalResourceRequirement[]
Resource capacity this workstation consumes while one dispatch is in flight.
runnerrunnerOptionalRunnerID
Optional workstation-specific runner override. When omitted, dispatch falls back to the factory runner, then worker modelProvider compatibility when no explicit runner is configured, then the default codex runner.
stopWordsstopWordsOptionalarrayExcluded
Stop words authored on the topology entry for model-oriented dispatches.
typetypeOptionalWorkstationType
Runtime workstation implementation type, equivalent to the workstation AGENTS.md frontmatter type.
workPropagationworkPropagationOptionalWorkPropagation
Optional policy for whether downstream work uses the workstation output payload or preserves the consumed input payload.
workerworkerRequiredstring
Name of a worker declared in the workers list.
workingDirectoryworkingDirectoryOptionalstring
Go template resolved from token tags at dispatch time.
worktreeworktreeOptionalstring
Go template resolved and passed as the worktree path to CLI dispatchers.

Examples

Use the minimal valid example when starting a SCRIPT_RUN workstation with behavior STANDARD. The misuse example borrows promptFile from MODEL_WORKSTATION — that field is excluded from SCRIPT_RUN.

Minimal valid SCRIPT_RUN workstation:

{
  "name": "lint-step",
  "worker": "script-main",
  "type": "SCRIPT_RUN",
  "behavior": "STANDARD",
  "inputs": [
    "ready"
  ],
  "outputs": [
    "accepted"
  ],
  "onContinue": [
    "ready"
  ],
  "onFailure": [
    "failed"
  ]
}

Incompatible misuse — promptFile on SCRIPT_RUN:

{
  "name": "lint-step",
  "worker": "script-main",
  "type": "SCRIPT_RUN",
  "behavior": "STANDARD",
  "promptFile": "prompts/lint.md",
  "inputs": [
    "ready"
  ],
  "outputs": [
    "accepted"
  ]
}

promptFile belongs on MODEL_WORKSTATION. Keep SCRIPT_RUN on identity, worker binding, inputs, outputs, and routing fields only.
