Cascade Workflow

소개

The Cascade Workflow skill provides a robust framework for agentic coding that prioritizes system completion through a three-tier fallback mechanism. By defining Primary (optimal), Secondary (acceptable), and Tertiary (guaranteed) execution levels, it allows Claude to handle external API timeouts and service failures gracefully. This skill is essential for building resilient AI-driven applications where providing a partial or cached result is significantly better than a total system failure or error message.
