Workflow Orchestration Patterns

About

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge for architecting resilient distributed systems using Temporal. It provides deep guidance on separating workflow logic from external activities, implementing saga patterns for distributed transactions, and ensuring execution determinism. It is essential for developers building long-running business processes, complex state machines, or reliable microservice integrations where failure recovery and state persistence are critical requirements.
