Mission Control: The Visual Dashboard

Mission Control is the heart of the Sire experience. It is designed to provide complete visibility and control over your automated workflows, transforming complex backend processes into intuitive visual maps.

The Workflow Canvas

The canvas is where you interact with your Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG).

Understanding the Graph

• Sequential Execution: Steps connected in a single line run one after the other.
• Parallel Execution: Multiple steps branching from a single parent run simultaneously, significantly reducing total execution time.
• Data Flow: You can see how data is passed between steps using our expression syntax (e.g., {{ $node["step-id"].json.result }}).

Interactive Editing

You aren't locked into what the AI generates.

• Drag & Drop: Move nodes to organize your view.
• Add/Delete: Manually insert new tools into the flow or remove unnecessary steps.
• Fine-tuning: Click any node to edit its input parameters, retry logic, or timeout settings.

Real-Time Monitoring: The Thought Stream

When a workflow is running, Sire provides a unique Thought Stream. This is a live feed that translates technical execution logs into readable insights.

• Live Status: See exactly which steps are Pending, Running, or Completed.
• Instant Feedback: If a step fails, the Thought Stream highlights the error immediately, allowing you to diagnose the issue without digging through raw server logs.
• Progress Indicators: A global progress bar and per-node status rings keep you informed of the mission's overall health.

Execution History & Auditing

Every time a workflow runs, Sire creates a permanent record of the execution.

• Playback: Review past runs to see exactly what data was processed at each step.
• Reproducibility: Re-run any past execution with the same (or modified) inputs.
• Audit Trail: Track who started the workflow, how long it took, and what resources it consumed---essential for compliance and cost management.

Artifact Management

Workflows often produce files---PDFs, spreadsheets, images, or code. Sire's Artifact Store keeps these organized and linked to the specific execution that created them.

• Browser Preview: View generated text and images directly in Mission Control.
• Secure Downloads: Download artifacts to your local machine when needed.
• Retention Policies: Configure how long artifacts are kept to balance accessibility with storage costs.

Advanced Filtering

Use filters to find specific workflows and executions quickly.

Workflow Filters

• Status: Filter by Active, Draft, or Archived.
• Tag: Filter by workflow tags you have assigned.
• Created By: Show workflows created by a specific team member.
• Date Range: Filter by creation or last-modified date.

Execution Filters

• Status: Filter by Running, Completed, Failed, or Cancelled.
• Workflow: Show executions for a specific workflow.
• Date Range: Filter by execution start time.
• Duration: Find executions that took longer than a threshold.
• Trigger Type: Filter by Manual, Scheduled, Webhook, or API.

Command Palette

Press Cmd/Ctrl + K to open the command palette. Type to search across:

• Workflow names and IDs
• Execution IDs
• Settings pages
• Documentation

The command palette supports fuzzy matching, so partial names and abbreviations work.

Tips for Mastery

• Breadcrumbs: Navigate easily between Workflows, Executions, and Settings using the header navigation.
• Pinned Workflows: Right-click a workflow and select Pin to keep frequently used workflows at the top of your list.
• Bulk Actions: Select multiple workflows with Cmd/Ctrl + Click and apply actions (archive, tag, delete) in batch.
