A Routine is recurring work for one agent: same instructions, new task each run. Under the hood it is a workflow definition with a single work step and a schedule trigger — optimized for cron-style automation, not multi-step graphs.

Definition vs run

ConceptWhat you editWhat executes
Routine (definition)Name, schedule, instructions, enabled flagTemplate
RunRead-only historyOne spawned task per execution
Each run is a normal workflow run (run_number, status, triggered_by). Opening a run shows the task created for that execution.
