Skill: temporal-workertuning

Overview

Temporal Workers poll Task Queues, execute Workflow and Activity Tasks, and report results back to the Temporal Service. Worker performance depends on three resource dimensions: compute (concurrent task execution slots), memory (workflow cache), and IO (pollers and network). This skill provides guidance for tuning all three dimensions across Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, and .NET SDKs.

The key abstractions are Slot Suppliers (which control how many tasks a Worker accepts) and Worker Tuners (which assign slot suppliers to different task types). Workers can use fixed-size suppliers for predictable workloads, resource-based suppliers for automatic adjustment, or custom suppliers for full control.
