retry
Retry a failed job using its reference ID. When a command fails, you can re-run it with the same parameters without typing the full command again.
Syntax
@Smart Workflow retry <request_id>Examples
Retry a failed job
@Smart Workflow retry faf49ec7-b7f3-4dc7-aea8-323888098708Copy the reference ID from the error message
@Smart Workflow retry abc12345-1234-5678-9abc-def012345678How it works
1
Find reference ID
Copy the reference ID from the failed job's error message.
2
Lookup original job
Smart Workflow retrieves the original command and parameters.
3
Re-execute job
A new job is created with the same settings and queued for processing.
Finding the Reference ID
When a job fails, Smart Workflow includes a reference ID in the error message. This is the ID you'll use with the retry command.

Reference:

When to use
Temporary failures
Rate limits, network timeouts, or API unavailability.
Transient errors
GitHub API errors that may resolve on retry.
Same parameters
When you want to re-run with identical settings.
⚠️ Important Notes
- •Request IDs expire after 24 hours—retry promptly after failures
- •The retry uses the exact same parameters as the original command
- •If you need different parameters, run a new command instead
💡 Pro Tips
- •Wait a few minutes before retrying rate limit errors
- •Smart Workflow automatically retries some transient errors up to 3 times before showing the failure
- •If the same error persists after retry, the issue may require a different approach
