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.
