temporal-ops

temporal-ops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from temporalio/claude-temporal-plugin. It costs 158 tokens per session (8,161 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line operations guide for running Temporal environments, either in Temporal Cloud or on your own servers. Temporal is a system for running reliable background workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage namespaces, capacity, access keys, certificates, search fields, exports, billing, and audits, or to investigate stuck workflows, connection errors, and similar incidents.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose problems and manage a live Temporal installation without confusing server administration with writing workflow code.

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

temporal-ops 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 3d 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.

Skill: temporal-ops

Overview

This skill operates and diagnoses Temporal environments. It has two modes:

  • Operations: the user wants to do something — create a namespace, rotate a key, check capacity, find unhealthy workflows, cancel a batch, set up export. The skill executes the right commands and interprets the output.
  • Diagnosis: the user arrives with a symptom — a stuck workflow, a cert error, a connection timeout, a non-determinism panic. The skill routes the investigation through a layered, bottom-up diagnosis until a root cause is identified with a confidence score.

It does not teach how to write workflows or activities (use skill-temporal-developer for that), and it does not reproduce exhaustive CLI flag tables — run temporal <cmd> --help for those, and see cli-conventions.md for cross-command CLI conventions. The boundary is: if the user needs to administer or troubleshoot a running Temporal environment, this skill applies.

Out of scope

  • Writing workflows, activities, or SDK codeskill-temporal-developer.
  • Exhaustive CLI flags / command reference → run temporal <cmd> --help; cross-command CLI conventionscli-conventions.md.
  • Worker performance tuning, sizing, capacity planningskill-temporal-workertuning.
  • Helm, Kubernetes, database admin, monitoring stack config for self-hosted — beyond the CLI surface.

If the conversation drifts into one of these areas, hand off to the relevant sibling skill rather than improvising.

Philosophy

Operator discipline

When the user wants to perform an operational task:

  1. Identify the intent and backend. Is this a Cloud operation (tcld) or a self-hosted operation (temporal operator)? Data-plane operations (temporal workflow, temporal batch, etc.) work on both. If the backend is ambiguous, ask before proceeding — do not assume Cloud or self-hosted and do not output environment-specific commands until you know.
  2. Execute commands and interpret output. Run the documented command, read the result, and report what it means — or act on it if the user asked for an action. Read-only commands (get, list, describe, count, show) run freely. Anything listed under Destructive operations is proposed to the user first.
  3. Verify the result. After a mutating operation, confirm the new state matches the user's intent.

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.

temporal-ops is a skill published in the GitHub repository temporalio/claude-temporal-plugin (26 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 158 tokens to every session and 8,161 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-30.
