# Prompt Norm

> Send a prompt to Norm. Returns 202 with a run ID.

## Overview

Dispatches a Norm run against the issue. Asynchronous, returns 202 once queued. Progress, tool calls, and final output stream into the issue's [Activity feed](/api-v1/get/triage-issues-id-activity) as `entry_kind: "agent"` entries.

The first word of `detail` is parsed as an intent. Slashes are optional.

* `/fix` (default), full read+write toolbelt including pathway editing, tool config, and snippet/pipeline tests.
* `/verify`, read-only. Norm checks the current draft against the evidence and reports.
* `/status`, read-only. Norm summarizes current state, leading diagnosis, and any draft verification.
* `/debug`, alias for `/fix`.

The `@norm` mention in [Add Comment](/api-v1/post/triage-issues-id-comments) calls this same flow.

  Your API key for authentication.
</ParamField>

***

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  Internal UUID of the issue.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="session_id" type="string" required>
  Internal UUID of the agent session, from [Create Agent Session](/api-v1/post/triage-issues-id-agent-sessions) or the `latest_agent_session.id` field on the issue.
</ParamField>

***

## Body Parameters

<ParamField body="detail" type="string" required>

## Response

Returns `202 Accepted`. The body acknowledges the dispatch but does not include Norm's reply. Subscribe to the issue's [Activity feed](/api-v1/get/triage-issues-id-activity) (or refetch it on a poll) to read Norm's progress and final output.

<ResponseField name="data.session_id" type="string">
  ID of the session the prompt was dispatched to. Matches the `{session_id}` in the URL.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="data.run_id" type="string">
  ID of the Norm run created for this prompt. Each prompt produces one run; multi-turn conversations on the same session produce multiple runs.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="data.intent" type="string">
  The parsed intent. One of `fix`, `verify`, or `status`. `/debug` is normalized to `fix`.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="errors" type="null | array">
  `null` on success. Returns 404 if the issue or session does not exist, or if the session does not belong to the named issue.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json Response theme={null}
  {
    "data": {
      "session_id": "0431f6ad-fdd3-4408-a6cc-909842d1db41",
      "run_id": "56cae586-0670-4f1b-8113-96a2421d56d5",
      "intent": "fix"
    },
    "errors": null
  }
  ```
</ResponseExample>
