Argo Workflows Plugin

argo is the CLI for Argo Workflows, the container-native workflow engine on Kubernetes. It submits YAML workflows, streams logs, inspects node trees, and manages templates and cron schedules against the Argo Server via your kubeconfig.

Commands

Workflows

• argo workflow submit — Submit a workflow YAML or template (--watch to follow)
• argo workflow list — List workflows (--all-namespaces, --since, --status)
• argo workflow get — Status and step tree of one workflow
• argo workflow logs — Logs from workflow or specific node (-f follow, -c <container>)
• argo workflow watch — Live-render until completion
• argo workflow retry — Retry a failed workflow
• argo workflow delete — Delete workflows by name

Templates & cron

• argo template list — List WorkflowTemplates
• argo cron list — List CronWorkflows

Usage Examples

• "Submit this workflow manifest and watch it"
• "Show logs of the failed node in workflow X"
• "List workflows that ran in the last 24h"
• "Retry the failed workflow"
