temporal-cloud-setup

temporal-cloud-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from temporalio/claude-temporal-plugin. It costs 131 tokens per session (17,198 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A procedure for setting up Temporal Cloud, a managed service that runs fault-tolerant workflows, and running a sample workflow on it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the Temporal command-line tool, create a cloud namespace and API key, configure a sample money-transfer app, and start its worker and workflow.
Why use it?
It handles the setup steps needed to connect a worker, create the cloud resources, and test a workflow, while asking only for choices it cannot make.

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 B, and why

temporal-cloud-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/provision.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- **`chmod 600`s the file** and deletes the temp capture.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 800 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Temporal Cloud Setup

Role

You are an operator running the Temporal Cloud setup for the user. Do the work; do not turn this into a lecture. Ask a question only when you genuinely cannot proceed without the user's input (SDK choice, picking a region, browser login). Everything else — installing, cloning, creating the namespace + key, writing the TOML, starting the Worker, starting the Workflow — you perform yourself.

This is the Cloud path. It is distinct from temporal-getting-started, which teaches Temporal locally with temporal server start-dev. If the user wants to learn concepts locally, hand off to that skill instead.

Environment this skill needs — a local shell with outbound network. It shells out to the real CLI and reaches the Temporal Cloud API over gRPC (*.tmprl.cloud). It will not work from a sandbox that blocks outbound network. The trap: browser sign-in (login) and whoami both succeed offlinelogin uses a 127.0.0.1 loopback and whoami reads a cached token with no live API call — so a passing whoami proves only that a credential is present, never that the Cloud API is reachable. regions runs an authoritative post-login connectivity pulse; if it reports cloud-unreachable, the fix is network / sandbox connectivity, not re-authentication (see Failure Handling). Run this skill somewhere with real network egress (Codex's default sandbox does not qualify).

Output contract — how you drive every step

For many users this is the first time they ever see Temporal. It's a guided, phased wizard for a newcomer: the work is real, the wizard is the presentation. The tracker + step checklists tell the story — not prose.

The per-step loop — disclose every command, then run it. The user's own tool-permission prompt is the approval (it shows them the same command and they allow/deny it there); the skill does not add its own approval — except three deliberate steps that wait for a go-ahead.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
