Questions

How do I install background?: Download plugins/ai-agency/hyperflow/skills/background/SKILL.md from the publisher, or copy the path and open the repository. PlugMCP lists the skill and does not host the file.
Where does background live?: The publisher keeps it at https://github.com/jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace.
Which agents can use background?: Claude, Cursor, and Codex can read a SKILL.md you add from the publisher's repository.

name: background description: | Use when the user wants to see, inspect, cancel, or prune background agents fired during prior chain runs. Read/manage `.hyperflow/background/registry.json` and the per-agent output buffers at `.hyperflow/background/<id>.md`. Standalone — never auto-invoked. Trigger with /hyperflow:background, "list background agents", "what's running in background", "cancel background agent", "show background result". allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash(ls:), Bash(cat:), Bash(rm:), Bash(find:), Glob, Grep argument-hint: "<list|show|cancel|prune> [id|--all]" version: 4.7.0 license: MIT compatibility: Designed for Claude Code tags: [background, orchestration, lifecycle]

Background

Read-only-by-default management interface for background agents fired by other hyperflow skills (dispatch quality gates, deploy CI watcher, scaffold analysis refresh, cache compact, scope speculative prefetch). Reads from + per-agent output buffers.

Subcommand	Description
`list`	Print the registry: in-flight · completed-uncollected · stalled · errored
`show <id>`	Print one agent's output buffer (`.hyperflow/background/<id>.md`)
`cancel <id>`	Cancel one specific in-flight agent
`cancel --all`	Cancel every in-flight agent (use before closing a session)
`prune`	Delete completed `.hyperflow/background/<id>.md` files older than 7 days

Failure	Behavior
Registry file missing	Treat as empty — `list` prints `No background agents.`; other subcommands print `No registry — fire a background agent first.` and stop.
Registry JSON malformed	Print `Registry malformed — back up to .hyperflow/background/registry.json.bak and re-create empty.` Move file, write empty registry, continue.
`show <id>` for unknown id	List 3 closest IDs by Levenshtein distance.
`cancel <id>` for already-completed agent	Print `Agent <id> already <status> — nothing to cancel.`
Provider cancellation API unavailable	Mark entry `status: cancelled` in registry; the foreground orchestrator drops the result on collection. Print `Marked <id> as cancelled (provider has no live cancellation API — agent will run to completion or timeout, but result will be discarded).`
Prune called with no eligible entries	Print `Nothing to prune — no completed buffers older than 7 days.`
