Cloud Agent Workflows - Continue

<Info>

What is a Cloud Agent Workflow?

Mission Control Cloud Agents automatically run on a repository when:

A schedule is reached (cron)
An event occurs (webhook, GitHub trigger)

Use Cloud Agents for recurring or event-driven tasks like:

Daily vulnerability scans
Weekly changelog generation
Reacting to new pull requests or Sentry alerts

Creating a Cloud Agent Workflow

In Mission Control, create a [new agent](https://continue.dev/agents/new).

<AccordionGroup> <Accordion title="Start with a Blank Agent"> Create an agent from scratch by clicking Create Agent. You'll choose the repository, agent, trigger type, and schedule or webhook. </Accordion> <Accordion title="Use a Template"> Select any of the “Try these Agent” cards such as: - _Update agents.md_ - _Draft Changelog Updates_ - _Solve Snyk Vulnerabilities_

Templates preload the recommended agent and schedule so you can customize and run them quickly.

</Accordion> </AccordionGroup> </Step> <Step title="Name the Agent">

Give your Agent a clear, descriptive name, especially if your team will be managing multiple agents.

Examples:
- `Morning status check`
- `Weekly changelog draft`
- `Daily Snyk vulnerability scan`

</Step> <Step title="Select Repository & Type of Kickoff">

Choose:

- Repository – the codebase the Agent will run against  
- Kickoff - whether or not the agent will run automatically on trigger or if it will be available for manual kickoff from the Mission Control UI. For example, you may want a docs agent to only run when manually kicked off on a PR, while a security agent should run automatically on a schedule.

</Step> <Step title="Choose Trigger Type">

Pick how this Cloud Agent Workflow should run:

- Cron – run on a schedule (daily, weekly, hourly, custom)  
- Webhook – run when an external system sends a request 
- GitHub Trigger – run when specific GitHub events occur (e.g. pull request opened, issue created)

</Step> <Step title="Create the Agent Workflow">

Click Create Agent and now you'll be able to see, edit, and montitor it in your [Agents tab in Mission Control](https://continue.dev/agents).

</Step> </Steps>

Monitoring Cloud Agent Runs

Agent runs show up just like Tasks:

Each execution creates a Session where you can open the detail view to see the summary, diff, and logs.
Any PR generated by the agent appears in your Inbox for review
You can also see the agents work on PRs in the PR timeline and checks.
