Use this agent when troubleshooting Temporal workflows, analyzing event history, diagnosing stuck or failed workflows, investigating errors, or understanding workflow execution problems.

Use this agent when developing Temporal.io workflow applications, designing workflows, implementing activities, configuring workers, writing tests, or handling versioning.

Use this agent when deploying Temporal clusters, configuring Kubernetes resources, setting up monitoring, managing namespaces, scaling workers, configuring security (mTLS), or performing cluster operations.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "activity implementation", "activity timeouts", "activity retries", "heartbeat", "idempotent activity", "StartToCloseTimeout", "ScheduleToCloseTimeout", "HeartbeatTimeout", or needs guidance on designing and configuring Temporal activities.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "deploy Temporal", "Temporal Helm chart", "install Temporal", "Kubernetes Temporal", "EKS Temporal", "local Temporal cluster", "temporal-server deployment", or needs guidance on deploying self-hosted Temporal clusters.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "Temporal sizing", "history shards", "cluster capacity", "Temporal resources", "scale Temporal", "Temporal performance", "how many shards", or needs guidance on capacity planning for Temporal clusters.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "Temporal monitoring", "Prometheus Temporal", "Grafana Temporal", "Temporal metrics", "Temporal alerts", "monitor workflows", "Temporal observability", or needs guidance on setting up monitoring for Temporal clusters.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "temporal namespace", "create namespace", "namespace retention", "multi-tenant temporal", "namespace configuration", "namespace isolation", or needs guidance on organizing and managing Temporal namespaces.

Architecture decision framework for evaluating whether Temporal Nexus is right for your use case. Use when user asks "should I use nexus", "nexus vs child workflows", "nexus vs activities", "when to use nexus", "cross-namespace pattern", "multi-namespace architecture", "nexus tradeoffs", or "nexus benefits". Covers tradeoff analysis, complexity scoring, and migration paths. Do NOT use for Nexus implementation details or code examples — use nexus-operations instead.

Temporal Nexus implementation guidance for cross-namespace durable communication. Use when user asks about "nexus", "nexus operation", "nexus service", "nexus endpoint", "cross-namespace communication", "nexus caller", "nexus handler", "NexusClient", "ExecuteOperation", "WorkflowRunOperation", or "multi-namespace". Covers Go SDK (GA), with TypeScript/Python/Java in references. Do NOT use for architecture decisions about whether to adopt Nexus — use nexus-decision-guide instead.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "temporal mTLS", "temporal authorization", "temporal security", "secure temporal", "TLS temporal", "certificate configuration", "RBAC temporal", or needs guidance on securing Temporal clusters.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "workflow signal", "workflow query", "workflow update", "send signal", "query workflow state", "SignalWithStart", "workflow communication", or needs guidance on message passing patterns in Temporal.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "testing workflows", "TestWorkflowEnvironment", "workflow tests", "activity mocking", "replay testing", "temporal testing", "unit test workflow", or needs guidance on testing Temporal applications.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "workflow stuck", "workflow failing", "temporal error", "debug workflow", "diagnose temporal", "workflow not completing", "activity timeout", "non-deterministic error", or needs help resolving Temporal issues.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "upgrade temporal", "temporal version upgrade", "migrate temporal", "update temporal server", "upgrade cluster", "schema migration", "SDK compatibility", or needs help planning safe Temporal upgrades.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "workflow versioning", "GetVersion", "workflow migration", "update running workflow", "workflow reset", "deploy workflow changes", "backward compatible workflow", or needs guidance on safely updating Temporal workflows.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "search attributes", "temporal search", "list workflows", "visibility query", "elasticsearch temporal", "find workflow", "workflow filter", or needs guidance on searching and filtering Temporal workflows.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "worker concurrency", "task queue", "worker performance", "worker scaling", "MaxConcurrentActivityExecutionSize", "MaxConcurrentWorkflowTaskExecutionSize", "poller configuration", or needs guidance on optimizing Temporal worker performance.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "workflow patterns", "saga pattern", "state machine workflow", "Continue-As-New", "deterministic workflow", "long-running workflow", "workflow design", or needs guidance on structuring Temporal workflows for specific business scenarios.
