Research direction

Start by reviewing the skill's current structure and the Temporal CLI workflows it is intended to teach. Define how the skill should list workers, inspect workflow status and executions, check health, extract errors, cancel workflows, and read results. Done means these management tasks are supported through the Temporal CLI rather than the removed operational shell scripts.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For now I have cut all the operational shell scripts, to reduce surface of this skill prior to shipping.

We should re-work this to instead teach the agent to use the Temporal CLI directly, such as for these uses:

  • List workers for a workflow (e.g. to debug why workflow is stuck)
  • Check workflow status (e.g. wait until its running)
  • Check worker health
  • List recent workflow executions (e.g. find workflow IDs)
  • Extract workflow errors
  • Cancel workflows
  • Read workflow results
