# `fluffbuzz tasks`

Inspect durable background tasks and Task Flow state. With no subcommand,
`fluffbuzz tasks` is equivalent to `fluffbuzz tasks list`.

See [Background Tasks](/automation/tasks) for the lifecycle and delivery model.

## Usage

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
fluffbuzz tasks
fluffbuzz tasks list
fluffbuzz tasks list --runtime acp

fluffbuzz tasks cancel <lookup>
fluffbuzz tasks audit
fluffbuzz tasks maintenance
fluffbuzz tasks maintenance --apply
fluffbuzz tasks flow list
fluffbuzz tasks flow show <lookup>
fluffbuzz tasks flow cancel <lookup>
```

## Root Options
