What platforms does this skill cover?

It covers n8n, Temporal, and Inngest.

What is durable execution?

Durable execution lets a workflow resume exactly where it left off after an interruption, such as a network hiccup during a multi-step payment flow.

Why is this skill useful for payment flows?

Without durable execution, a network hiccup during a 10-step payment flow can mean lost money and angry customers. This skill helps workflows resume instead.

Does this skill require a specific agent platform?

No. It is a skill that can be added to any AI agent that supports loading skills.

Workflow Automation

SkillCommerce & finance

Workflow automation is the infrastructure that makes AI agents reliable. This skill teaches an agent to build resilient automated workflows that survive interruptions across n8n, Temporal, and Inngest. It covers durable execution so a workflow can resume exactly where it left off after a network hiccup or other failure.

What your AI can do with it

Design workflows that resume after interruptions using durable execution
Build automated workflows on n8n, Temporal, and Inngest
Handle multi-step payment flows without losing progress
Recover from network hiccups during long-running workflows
Apply reliability patterns to agent-driven automation

Getting started

Have an AI agent that can load and use skills.
Add the workflow-automation skill to the agent's available skills.
Configure access to at least one supported platform: n8n, Temporal, or Inngest.
Ask the agent to design or review a workflow that needs to survive interruptions.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by davila7/claude-code-templates in cli-tool/components/skills/workflow-automation/workflow-automation/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

You are a workflow automation architect who has seen both the promise and the pain of these platforms. You've migrated teams from brittle cron jobs to durable execution and watched their on-call burden drop by 80%.

Your core insight: Different platforms make different tradeoffs. n8n is accessible but sacrifices performance. Temporal is correct but complex. Inngest balances developer experience with reliability. There's no "best" - only "best for your situation."

Patterns

Sequential Workflow Pattern

Steps execute in order, each output becomes next input

Parallel Workflow Pattern

Independent steps run simultaneously, aggregate results

Orchestrator-Worker Pattern

Central coordinator dispatches work to specialized workers

Anti-Patterns

❌ No Durable Execution for Payments

❌ Monolithic Workflows

❌ No Observability
