+# 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, approvals
+- **Entity lifecycle management**: inventory tracking, account management, cart workflows
+- **Infrastructure automation**: CI/CD pipelines, provisioning, deployments
+- **Human-in-the-loop** systems requiring timeouts and escalations
+
+### When NOT to Use
+
+- Simple CRUD operations (use direct API calls)
+- Pure data processing pipelines (use Airflow, batch processing)
+- Stateless request/response (use standard APIs)
+- Real-time streaming (use Kafka, event processors)
+
+## Critical Design Decision: Workflows vs Activities
+
+**The Fundamental Rule** (Source: temporal.io/blog/workflow-engine-principles):
+
+- **Workflows** = Orchestration logic and decision-making
+- **Activities** = External interactions (APIs, databases, network calls)
+
+### Workflows (Orchestration)
+
+**Characteristics:**
+
+- Contain business logic and coordination
+- **MUST be deterministic** (same inputs → same outputs)
+- **Cannot** perform direct external calls
+- State automatically preserved across failures
+- Can run for years despite infrastructure failures
+
+**Example workflow tasks:**
+
+- Decide which steps to execute
+- Handle compensation logic
+- Manage timeouts and retries
+- Coordinate child workflows
+
+### Activities (External Interactions)
+
+**Characteristics:**
+
+- Handle all external system interactions
+- Can be non-deterministic (API calls, DB writes)
+- Include built-in timeouts and retry logic
+- **Must be idempotent** (calling N times = calling once)
+- Short-lived (seconds to minutes typically)
+
+**Example activity tasks:**
+
+- Call payment gateway API
+- Write to database
+- Send emails or notifications
+- Query external services
+
+### Design Decision Framework
+
+```
+Does it touch external systems? → Activity
+Is it orchestration/decision logic? → Workflow
+```
+
+## Core Workflow Patterns
+
+### 1. Saga Pattern with Compensation
+
+**Purpose**: Implement distributed transactions with rollback capability
+
+**Pattern** (Source: temporal.io/blog/compensating-actions-part-of-a-complete-breakfast-with-sagas):
+
+```
+For each step:
+  1. Register compensation BEFORE executing
+  2. Execute the step (via activity)
+  3. On failure, run all compensations in reverse order (LIFO)
+```
+
+**Example: Payment Workflow**
+
+1. Reserve inventory (compensation: release inventory)
+2. Charge payment (compensation: refund payment)
+3. Fulfill order (compensation: cancel fulfillment)
+
+**Critical Requirements:**
+
+- Compensations must be idempotent
+- Register compensation BEFORE executing step
+- Run compensations in reverse order
+- Handle partial failures gracefully
+
+### 2. Entity Workflows (Actor Model)
+
+**Purpose**: Long-lived workflow representing single entity instance
+
+**Pattern** (Source: docs.temporal.io/evaluate/use-cases-design-patterns):
+
+- One workflow execution = one entity (cart, account, inventory item)
+- Workflow persists for entity lifetime
+- Receives signals for state changes
+- Supports queries for current state
+
+**Example Use Cases:**
+
+- Shopping cart (add items, checkout, expiration)
+- Bank account (deposits, withdrawals, balance checks)
+- Product inventory (stock updates, reservations)
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Encapsulates entity behavior
+- Guarantees consistency per entity
+- Natural event sourcing
+
+### 3. Fan-Out/Fan-In (Parallel Execution)
+
+**Purpose**: Execute multiple tasks in parallel, aggregate results
+
+**Pattern:**
+
+- Spawn child workflows or parallel activities
+- Wait for all to complete
+- Aggregate results
+- Handle partial failures
+
+**Scaling Rule** (Source: temporal.io/blog/workflow-engine-principles):
+
+- Don't scale individual workflows
+- For 1M tasks: spawn 1K child workflows × 1K tasks each
+- Keep each workflow bounded
+
+### 4. Async Callback Pattern
+
+**Purpose**: Wait for external event or human approval
+
+**Pattern:**
+
+- Workflow sends request and waits for signal
+- External system processes asynchronously
+- Sends signal to resume workflow
+- Workflow continues with response
+
+**Use Cases:**
+
+- Human approval workflows
+- Webhook callbacks
+- Long-running external processes
+
+## State Management and Determinism
+
+### Automatic State Preservation
+
+**How Temporal Works** (Source: docs.temporal.io/workflows):
+
+- Complete program state preserved automatically
+- Event History records every command and event
+- Seamless recovery from crashes
+- Applications restore pre-failure state
+
+### Determinism Constraints
+
+**Workflows Execute as State Machines**:
+
+- Replay behavior must be consistent
+- Same inputs → identical outputs every time
+
+**Prohibited in Workflows** (Source: docs.temporal.io/workflows):
+
+- ❌ Threading, locks, synchronization primitives
+- ❌ Random number generation (`random()`)
+- ❌ Global state or static variables
+- ❌ System time (`datetime.now()`)
+- ❌ Direct file I/O or network calls
+- ❌ Non-deterministic libraries
+
+**Allowed in Workflows**:
+
+- ✅ `workflow.now()` (deterministic time)
+- ✅ `workflow.random()` (deterministic random)
+- ✅ Pure functions and calculations
+- ✅ Calling activities (non-deterministic operations)
+
+### Versioning Strategies
+
+**Challenge**: Changing workflow code while old executions still running
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. **Versioning API**: Use `workflow.get_version()` for safe changes
+2. **New Workflow Type**: Create new workflow, route new executions to it
+3. **Backward Compatibility**: Ensure old events replay correctly
+
+## Resilience and Error Handling
+
+### Retry Policies
+
+**Default Behavior**: Temporal retries activities forever
+
+**Configure Retry**:
+
+- Initial retry interval
+- Backoff coefficient (exponential backoff)
+- Maximum interval (cap retry delay)
+- Maximum attempts (eventually fail)
+
+**Non-Retryable Errors**:
+
+- Invalid input (validation failures)
+- Business rule violations
+- Permanent failures (resource not found)
+
+### Idempotency Requirements
+
+**Why Critical** (Source: docs.temporal.io/activities):
+
+- Activities may execute multiple times
+- Network failures trigger retries
+- Duplicate execution must be safe
+
+**Implementation Strategies**:
+
+- Idempotency keys (deduplication)
+- Check-then-act with unique constraints
+- Upsert operations instead of insert
+- Track processed request IDs
+
+### Activity Heartbeats
+
+**Purpose**: Detect stalled long-running activities
+
+**Pattern**:
+
+- Activity sends periodic heartbeat
+- Includes progress information
+- Timeout if no heartbeat received
+- Enables progress-based retry
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Workflow Design
+
+1. **Keep workflows focused** - Single responsibility per workflow
+2. **Small workflows** - Use child workflows for scalability
+3. **Clear boundaries** - Workflow orchestrates, activities execute
+4. **Test locally** - Use time-skipping test environment
+
+### Activity Design
+
+1. **Idempotent operations** - Safe to retry
+2. **Short-lived** - Seconds to minutes, not hours
+3. **Timeout configuration** - Always set timeouts
+4. **Heartbeat for long tasks** - Report progress
+5. **Error handling** - Distinguish retryable vs non-retryable
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+**Workflow Violations**:
+
+- Using `datetime.now()` instead of `workflow.now()`
+- Threading or async operations in workflow code
+- Calling external APIs directly from workflow
+- Non-deterministic logic in workflows
+
+**Activity Mistakes**:
+
+- Non-idempotent operations (can't handle retries)
+- Missing timeouts (activities run forever)
+- No error classification (retry validation errors)
+- Ignoring payload limits (2MB per argument)
+
+### Operational Considerations
+
+**Monitoring**:
+
+- Workflow execution duration
+- Activity failure rates
+- Retry attempts and backoff
+- Pending workflow counts
+
+**Scalability**:
+
+- Horizontal scaling with workers
+- Task queue partitioning
+- Child workflow decomposition
+- Activity batching when appropriate
+

+
+**Key Principles**:
+
+1. Workflows = orchestration, Activities = external calls
+2. Determinism is non-negotiable for workflows
+3. Idempotency is critical for activities
+4. State preservation is automatic
+5. Design for failure and recovery

+# Writing Plans
+
+## Overview
+
+Write comprehensive implementation plans assuming the engineer has zero context for our codebase and questionable taste. Document everything they need to know: which files to touch for each task, code, testing, docs they might need to check, how to test it. Give them the whole plan as bite-sized tasks. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits.
+
+Assume they are a skilled developer, but know almost nothing about our toolset or problem domain. Assume they don't know good test design very well.
+
+**Announce at start:** "I'm using the writing-plans skill to create the implementation plan."
+
+**Context:** This should be run in a dedicated worktree (created by brainstorming skill).
+
+**Save plans to:** `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md`
+
+## Bite-Sized Task Granularity
+
+**Each step is one action (2-5 minutes):**
+- "Write the failing test" - step
+- "Run it to make sure it fails" - step
+- "Implement the minimal code to make the test pass" - step
+- "Run the tests and make sure they pass" - step
+- "Commit" - step
+
+## Plan Document Header
+
+**Every plan MUST start with this header:**
+
+```markdown
+# [Feature Name] Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** [One sentence describing what this builds]
+
+**Architecture:** [2-3 sentences about approach]
+
+**Tech Stack:** [Key technologies/libraries]
+
+---
+```
+
+## Task Structure
+
+```markdown
+### Task N: [Component Name]
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `exact/path/to/file.py`
+- Modify: `exact/path/to/existing.py:123-145`
+- Test: `tests/exact/path/to/test.py`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+```python
+def test_specific_behavior():
+    result = function(input)
+    assert result == expected
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `pytest tests/path/test.py::test_name -v`
+Expected: FAIL with "function not defined"
+
+**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
+
+```python
+def function(input):
+    return expected
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `pytest tests/path/test.py::test_name -v`
+Expected: PASS
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add tests/path/test.py src/path/file.py
+git commit -m "feat: add specific feature"
+```
+```
+
+## Remember
+- Exact file paths always
+- Complete code in plan (not "add validation")
+- Exact commands with expected output
+- Reference relevant skills with @ syntax
+- DRY, YAGNI, TDD, frequent commits
+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+After saving the plan, offer execution choice:
+
+**"Plan complete and saved to `docs/plans/<filename>.md`. Two execution options:**
+
+**1. Subagent-Driven (this session)** - I dispatch fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration
+
+**2. Parallel Session (separate)** - Open new session with executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints
+
+**Which approach?"**
+
+**If Subagent-Driven chosen:**
+- **REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development
+- Stay in this session
+- Fresh subagent per task + code review
+
+**If Parallel Session chosen:**
+- Guide them to open new session in worktree
+- **REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** New session uses superpowers:executing-plans
