Gate
- Category: Middleware
What it is
A flow gate: passes the text through when open, and skips the downstream steps when closed (the whole graph still counts as successful).
This node grew out of the related Lab tools: wires in a blueprint replace the step-by-step clicks in the Lab, which makes it easy to reuse and to hand to an agent.
