workflow-orchestration-patterns

workflow-orchestration-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mattmre/EVOKORE-MCP-PUBLIC. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,944 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of workflow-orchestration-patterns, MIT.

A guide to designing long-running workflows with Temporal, a system that coordinates work across services and remembers progress when steps fail or take a long time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for bookings, orders, approvals, infrastructure automation, distributed transactions, or other multi-step processes involving services and people.
Why use it?
Distributed processes can lose track of their state or leave partial changes when something fails. These patterns explain how to recover, coordinate steps, and handle compensating actions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

workflow-orchestration-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Workflow Orchestration Patterns

Master workflow orchestration architecture with Temporal, covering fundamental design decisions, resilience patterns, and best practices for building reliable distributed systems.

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)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
