Running an Agent from a Flow

Invoke a reusable Agent as one node in a graph.

Every Flow can invoke Agents via Agent nodes.

Adding an Agent node

Toolbar → + agent → the node lands on the canvas → click it → Inspector shows a dropdown of your saved Agents.

What happens at runtime

When the Flow reaches an Agent node:

1. Xura loads the Agent’s system prompt + skill fragments.
2. Constructs a scoped Claude turn with the Agent’s allowed tools.
3. Passes the previous step’s output as context.
4. Runs the turn, streams progress into the current stage panel.
5. Passes the Agent’s output to the next node.

Interpolation

Agent node config accepts {{prev.field}} interpolation, same as action nodes. Useful to pass structured context.

Why use an Agent node vs raw tool calls

• Reuse — one Agent, many Flows.
• Guardrails — the Agent’s system prompt enforces boundaries.
• Tool scoping — limits blast radius.
