# Plans, runs & crews

For multi-step and multi-agent work, the Stage shows the shape of the job — the plan as a live checklist, a single agent's run as a timeline, a workflow as a node sequence, and a crew as a board of agents at work.

## Plan — the live to-do list

The plan surface is the agent’s working plan as a checkable list. Each step shows its state — done (check), working (spinner), waiting (blocked), or error — with the active step highlighted and completed steps struck through. The header carries overall progress, a state pill (Running / Done / Failed), and while the run is live, a Stop button that aborts the turn.

## Run — one agent’s timeline

The run surface shows a single agent’s execution as a vertical timeline: each step a dot on a connecting rail, with its label and detail, and a work-status dot showing where it is. It’s the trace of what the agent actually did, step by step.

## Flow — a workflow as nodes

The flow surface renders an automation as a top-down sequence of nodes — trigger → actions → conditions → output — each a card with an icon, label, and status, joined by a rail. The panel is narrow, so the path runs vertically rather than as a sprawling 2-D graph.

## Crew — the team at work

When you run a crew, the crew surface is a live board of every agent: one row each, with an avatar, role, the activity it’s on right now, and a work-status dot. The header counts how many are working. It’s the team-view for multi-agent runs.
