# ClawFlow
`ClawFlow` appears in some older OpenClaw release notes and documentation as if it were a user-facing runtime with its own `openclaw flows` command surface.
That is not the current operator-facing surface in this repository.
Today, the supported CLI surface for inspecting and managing detached work is [`openclaw tasks`](/automation/tasks).
## What to use today
- `openclaw tasks list` shows tracked detached runs
- `openclaw tasks show <lookup>` shows one task by task id, run id, or session key
- `openclaw tasks cancel <lookup>` cancels a running task
- `openclaw tasks audit` surfaces stale or broken task runs
```bash
openclaw tasks list
openclaw tasks show <lookup>
openclaw tasks cancel <lookup>
```
## What this means for older references
If you see `ClawFlow` or `openclaw flows` in:
- old release notes
- issue threads
- stale search results
- outdated local notes
translate those instructions to the current task CLI:
- `openclaw flows list` -> `openclaw tasks list`
- `openclaw flows show <lookup>` -> `openclaw tasks show <lookup>`
- `openclaw flows cancel <lookup>` -> `openclaw tasks cancel <lookup>`
