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 code → skill-temporal-developer.
• Exhaustive CLI flags / command reference → run temporal <cmd> --help; cross-command CLI conventions → cli-conventions.md.
• Worker performance tuning, sizing, capacity planning → skill-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.
