SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires temper-cli, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the operation of state machines, ensuring every action is governed and verified, reducing manual oversight and human error.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State Machine Automation: Automate the execution of state machines across various systems and workflows.
  • Full Governance: Ensures all actions are policy-compliant, with human oversight where necessary.
  • Verification: Verifies the correctness of state machine operations through a cascading verification process.
  • Use Case: For example, automate the deployment of a service by transitioning through states like "Pending", "Building", "Deploying", "Live", and "Rolledback".

Quick Start

Start the Temper Agent by running the command: temper mcp --port 3000

Frequently Asked Questions about temper-agent

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate state machine operations with policy compliance?

State machine automation with policy compliance executes governed state transitions while verifying each action against predefined rules. The Temper agent handles authorization denials and supports system evolution through feedback loops.

How does cascading verification work for state machine workflows?

Cascading verification validates the correctness of state machine operations through a sequential checking process. This ensures every state transition, like moving from Building to Deploying, meets governance requirements before proceeding.

Do I need a running Temper server to execute governed state machines?

Yes, a running Temper server and a sandboxed execution environment are required. You can start the server and agent by running the command `temper mcp --port 3000` to begin automating state transitions.

Can I handle authorization denials automatically during state transitions?

Yes, the automation handles authorization denials during state machine execution. It ensures all actions remain policy-compliant and integrates human oversight where necessary to resolve governance violations.

What is the best way to automate service deployment state transitions?

Automating service deployment state transitions involves moving through states like Pending, Building, Deploying, Live, and Rolledback. The Temper agent enforces full governance and verifies each transition to reduce manual oversight and human error.

Does temper-cli support sandboxed execution for state machine governance?

Yes, temper-cli supports sandboxed execution required for state machine governance. This isolated environment ensures that verified and policy-compliant state transitions execute safely without unintended side effects.
