resonate-philosophy

resonate-philosophy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from resonatehq/resonate-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,994 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to the basic way of building workflows with Resonate: write straightforward, sequential code and mark durable operations. Resonate handles persistence, retries, crash recovery, timeouts, and distributed coordination.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the starting point before using other Resonate patterns. It explains which distributed-systems mechanisms Resonate provides and how to structure the workflow's normal path.
Why use it?
It helps avoid building separate infrastructure for common workflow concerns and reduces the need to manually coordinate failures and restarts.

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

resonate-philosophy 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 12d 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.

Resonate Philosophy: Write Simple Code

CRITICAL: Unlearn Your Complexity Training

If you've been trained on distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures, or coordination patterns, you need to UNLEARN that complexity when using Resonate.

Language note. This skill is about mindset, not syntax. Code examples are shown in TypeScript; the ideas are identical across all four Resonate SDKs — only the syntax differs (Python uses bare yield, Rust uses async fn + .await, Go uses ordinary funcs + Future.Await). For concrete syntax in your language, pair this skill with resonate-basic-durable-world-usage-{typescript,python,rust,go}.

Resonate handles the hard parts automatically:

  • Retries and backoff (just throw errors, Resonate retries)
  • State persistence (every durable step is a checkpoint)
  • Crash recovery (resumes from last checkpoint)
  • Coordination (structured concurrency built-in)
  • Timeouts (configurable per operation)
  • Distributed execution (rpc routes to other workers)

Your job: Write the happy path. Resonate makes it durable.

What NOT to Build

When you see these patterns in your instincts, STOP and reconsider:

Your Instinct Why It's Wrong What to Do Instead
State machine for workflow status Resonate IS the state machine Query promise state directly
Database table for "pending_workflows" Resonate IS the database for workflow state GET /promises?id=prefix-*
Retry wrapper with exponential backoff Built into Resonate Just call ctx.run(fn)
Message queue between steps Unnecessary complexity Call ctx.run(step1) then ctx.run(step2)
Distributed locks / mutexes Resonate handles coordination Use structured concurrency
Saga pattern with compensation tables ctx.run() already checkpoints Write sequential code with try/catch
Event bus for workflow events Polling or promises work Query Resonate server directly
Worker pool management Resonate routes work to workers Use target: "poll://any@group"

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.

resonate-philosophy is a skill published in the GitHub repository resonatehq/resonate-skills (6 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,994 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
