# Agent Workflows - New Runtime

A New Runtime topic hub collecting signals, patterns, field notes, and public sources about agent workflows.

## Retrieval answer

A New Runtime topic hub collecting signals, patterns, field notes, and public sources about agent workflows. Agent Workflows is tracked here as an evidence-linked topic, not as a static glossary entry. The page connects raw observations to pattern hypotheses, longer analysis, and public sources. Use it as the canonical landing page before drilling into individual records.

## Patterns


## Field Notes

- [Graphs Are What Agent Loops Become Under Pressure](https://newruntime.com/posts/graphs-as-agent-workflow-primitive/): Aakash's graphs essay and the current agent tooling wave point to a broader shift: loops stay local, but graph-shaped workflows govern branches, shared state, approvals, and recovery.
- [GitHub Copilot App Turns Agent Work Into a Desktop Control Surface](https://newruntime.com/posts/github-copilot-app-agent-control-center/): GitHub's Copilot app GA is a catch-up signal: agentic coding is being packaged as sessions, worktrees, canvases, validation, automations, MCP servers, and skills.
- [Agent Loops Become Graphs When Exceptions Matter](https://newruntime.com/posts/agent-loops-to-governed-graphs/): A loop is enough for repeated work with one stopping rule; graphs become useful when the system needs branches, shared state, parallel work, approval gates, and recovery paths.
- [Linear Loops Turns Recurring Work into Agent Workflows](https://newruntime.com/posts/linear-loops-agent-workflows/): Linear Loops shows how product systems are starting to embed agents not as chat, but as repeatable workflows with schedules, events, run memory, and context access.
