Parallel Tasks

What It Does

AWorld CLI supports background task execution so you can submit a long-running task, keep working in the same session, and check progress later.

The primary commands are /dispatch for submission and /tasks for monitoring.

Commands

/dispatch <task description>
/dispatch
/tasks list
/tasks status <task_id>
/tasks follow <task_id>
/tasks cancel <task_id>

Typical Workflow

1. Submit work with /dispatch Run the benchmark and summarize failures.
2. Continue using the CLI while the task runs in the background.
3. Inspect the queue with /tasks list.
4. Check one task with /tasks status <task_id>.
5. Stream live output with /tasks follow <task_id>.
6. Cancel the task if needed with /tasks cancel <task_id>.

Notes And Limits

• /dispatch without arguments prompts for the task text interactively.
• Background tasks use the default Aworld agent unless your runtime provides a different dispatch setup.
• /tasks list shows the output filename when one exists, so you can tail the log directly from the shell if needed.
