Modes, goals and helpers

How Oda works on bigger jobs: modes, goals and loops, subagents and teams, workflows, background work and schedules.

• Agent modes

  See the modes Oda works in, pick one for a task, set the default for new tasks, know what a chat keeps, and open each mode's short guide.

• Goals

  Keep Oda working toward one objective: how goals behave, the goal pill, the card in Activity, pause and resume, the on-hold notice, and the /goal command.

• Subagents

  What Subagents are, how Oda's helper chats appear in a session, and how many Oda may run.

• Agent teams

  Let Oda lead a team of helpers on a job: named teammates, messages between them, and a shared task board with its limits.

• Workflows

  Run a scripted workflow that fans work across many helper agents and returns one result, with its limits.

• Activity

  Watch what Oda is running: open the Activity panel, read its bands, follow subagents and workflow runs, stop background work, and clear finished work with undo.

• Schedule recurring tasks

  Create, change, pause, run and delete scheduled tasks from the Scheduled page or a chat, with the fields, limits and permissions that apply.
