# toast

The `toast` step type displays a themed status message in success, info, warning, or error variants — the same status styling Atmos uses to report results across the CLI.

```yaml
steps:
  - name: done
    type: toast
    level: success
    content: Deployment complete.
```

## Fields

- **`content`** — Required. Message text. Supports templates.
- **`level`** — Optional status level. Supported values include `success`, `info`, `warn`, `warning`, and `error`. The default is `info`.

`success`, `info`, `warn`, and `error` are `level` values, not step types.

When a `toast` step runs inside a `type: cast` step, its rendered status message is written while the cast recorder is active and becomes part of the generated asciicast.
