Unstick an item

Work stops for a reason, and ub-agents says which. Start with status, or ask about one item.

$ ub-agents status
$ ub-agents status 214

In the terminal view

Stopped items are listed under Needs attention in ub-agents launch. Select one and press 4 for the Unblock tab: it shows the item's Action needed comment, with each decision, the options and how to resume.

Needs a person

The item has a stop label such as needs-human and an Action needed comment that lists the options and how to resume. Decide, remove the stop label, and add the workflow label you want.

Failed too often

After max-attempts failures in a row the item stops. Fix the cause, then reset the count with a reason using retry.

$ ub-agents retry 214 --reason "Fixed the flaky fixture"

Run one item now

Evaluate a single issue or pull request under the usual rules, run it once and exit.

$ ub-agents launch 214
$ ub-agents launch 219 --agent reviewer

Leftover worktrees

The launcher removes each run's worktree when the run ends. A crashed run can leave it behind. Preview, then remove what is safe to remove with cleanup.

$ ub-agents cleanup
$ ub-agents cleanup --apply

Logs

Launcher output is also appended to .ub-agents/launch.log. Each run keeps its own log under .ub-agents/runs/.

$ tail -f .ub-agents/launch.log
