Mission Control Runnable Chain Design
Purpose
Apply composable chain design patterns to Mission Control workflows while keeping the runtime provider-agnostic.
The Codex chat agent is not the Mission Control Manager. It is the bridge between the user and the Mission Control Manager.
Use when
- The user wants an LLM pipeline or agent workflow designed.
- A task needs staged prompt, tool, validation, and handoff steps.
- Provider interchangeability matters.
Workflow
- Ask Mission Control to identify inputs, model calls, tools, transforms, validators, and outputs.
- Model the workflow as composable steps with explicit contracts.
- Define retry, fallback, and human-approval boundaries.
- Recommend implementation in Mission Control primitives or external frameworks only when useful.
Mission Control calls
Tools:
mission_control_start_taskmission_control_get_status
Resources:
mission-control://projects/{project_id}/agent-contractsmission-control://projects/{project_id}/decision-ledgermission-control://projects/{project_id}/status
User-facing output
- Provide chain stages, inputs/outputs, tools, error handling, and validation checkpoints.
Approval behavior
Ask before adding new external services or write-capable tools.
Never do
- Do not force LangChain where Mission Control primitives are enough.
- Do not hide state or retry behavior.
- Do not make model outputs look executable without validation.
Failure and fallback
If implementation details are unknown, return an architecture sketch and questions.
Example invocation
Use Mission Control to design a provider-agnostic chain for triaging issues.
