# Workflow Orchestration Patterns

Long-running processes that survive a crash mid-flight

## What this does

A process spanning several services and a lot of time will be interrupted, and picking up where it left off is the hard part. This covers designing durable workflows with Temporal: what goes in a workflow versus an activity, how state is held, how to roll back a partly-finished transaction, and the determinism rules to respect. Reach for it when building long-running or distributed processes.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Design a workflow that runs for days without losing its place
- Split what belongs in a workflow from what belongs in an activity
- Undo a multi-service transaction that failed halfway

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Workflow Orchestration Patterns

Distributed processes that run for a long time need to be durable, not just correct on a good day. This skill covers designing such workflows with Temporal.

It takes in the separation of workflow from activity, saga patterns for transactions that must unwind, state management, and the determinism constraints workflow code has to live inside.

Use it when building long-running processes, distributed transactions, or microservice orchestration.

## Questions

### Is Workflow Orchestration Patterns safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Workflow Orchestration Patterns and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/workflow-orchestration-patterns.

### How do I install Workflow Orchestration Patterns?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/workflow-orchestration-patterns on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/backend-development/skills/workflow-orchestration-patterns. Install from that link, not the branch.
