How does the retry logic handle failures?

It uses the retry_with_backoff function which implements an exponential backoff strategy, allowing you to specify the number of attempts and base delay for transient service failures.

What are the primary functions included in cfn-utilities?

The skill provides four main modules: structured JSON logging, standardized error handling, exponential backoff retry logic, and atomic file operations including file locking.

Can I use this for safe file writing in scripts?

Absolutely. The skill includes atomic_write and file locking primitives (acquire_lock/with_lock) to prevent partial writes and race conditions in concurrent environments.

Is cfn-utilities compatible with TypeScript logging?

Yes, the logging output is specifically formatted as JSON to be compatible with TypeScript logging systems, including ISO 8601 timestamps and correlation ID support.

Does this skill require any third-party software?

No, it is designed with zero external dependencies, requiring only a POSIX-compliant bash (4.0+) and standard Linux/macOS coreutils.

Analíticas y Monitorización

Provides standardized bash utility functions for structured logging, error handling, and resilient file operations in AI workflows.

Acerca de

CFN Utilities is a production-grade toolkit designed to bring software engineering best practices to bash scripting within the Claude Flow Novice (CFN) ecosystem. It enables developers to implement structured JSON logging that is fully compatible with TypeScript systems, alongside robust exponential backoff retry logic and atomic file operations. This skill is essential for building reliable AI agent orchestration pipelines where transient failures, concurrent file access, and observability are critical concerns, all while maintaining a zero-dependency footprint.
