# `openclaw flows`
|
||||
|
||||
Inspect and manage [ClawFlow](/automation/clawflow) jobs.
|
||||
`openclaw flows` is **not** a current OpenClaw CLI command.
|
||||
|
||||
Some older release notes and docs mistakenly documented a `flows` command surface. The supported operator surface is [`openclaw tasks`](/automation/tasks).
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw flows list
|
||||
openclaw flows show <lookup>
|
||||
openclaw flows cancel <lookup>
|
||||
openclaw tasks list
|
||||
openclaw tasks show <lookup>
|
||||
openclaw tasks cancel <lookup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Commands
|
||||
## Use instead
|
||||
|
||||
### `flows list`
|
||||
- `openclaw tasks list` — list tracked background tasks
|
||||
- `openclaw tasks show <lookup>` — inspect one task by task id, run id, or session key
|
||||
- `openclaw tasks cancel <lookup>` — cancel a running background task
|
||||
- `openclaw tasks notify <lookup> <policy>` — change task notification behavior
|
||||
- `openclaw tasks audit` — surface stale or broken task runs
|
||||
|
||||
List tracked flows and their task counts.
|
||||
## Why this page exists
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw flows list
|
||||
openclaw flows list --status blocked
|
||||
openclaw flows list --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `flows show`
|
||||
|
||||
Show one flow by flow id or owner session key.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw flows show <lookup>
|
||||
openclaw flows show <lookup> --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The output includes the flow status, current step, wait target, blocked summary when present, stored output keys, and linked tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
### `flows cancel`
|
||||
|
||||
Cancel a flow and any active child tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw flows cancel <lookup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
This page stays in place so existing links from older changelog entries, issue threads, and search results have a clear correction instead of a dead end.
