Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Workflow Orchestration Patterns Master workflow orchestration architecture with Temporal, covering fundamental design decisions, resilience patterns, and best practices for building reliable distributed systems. ## Use this skill when - Working on workflow orchestration patterns tasks or workflows - Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for workflow orchestration patterns ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to workflow orchestration patterns - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## When to Use Workflow Orchestration ### Ideal Use Cases (Source: docs.temporal.io) - **Multi-step processes** spanning machines/services/databases - **Distributed transactions** requiring all-or-nothing semantics - **Long-running workflows** (hours to years) with automatic state persistence - **Failure recovery** that must resume from last successful step - **Business processes**: bookings, orders, campaigns, app

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill workflow-orchestration-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
