What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you design and implement crash-safe, long-running orchestration so your tasks can pause for external events, resume later, and retry reliably without losing progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

Durable orchestration with checkpoints: Use "use workflow" for orchestration and "use step" for retryable, observable units of work.
AI agents that survive interruptions: Build stateful agents with DurableAgent and stream results while maintaining durability across runs.
Pause/resume with hooks: Wait for deterministic external events using createHook() and resume via resumeHook() (plus webhooks with createWebhook() / resumeWebhook() patterns).

Quick Start

Implement a Vercel Workflow where an API route starts the run and the workflow pauses until an external event arrives, then continues with durable step-based logic.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build a durable agent workflow that survives interruptions and restarts?▼

Pause a Vercel workflow for external events using createHook() and resume it via resumeHook(). You can also use createWebhook() and resumeWebhook() patterns to wait for deterministic external events and continue execution safely.

What is the difference between the "use workflow" and "use step" directives?▼

The "use workflow" directive defines the durable orchestration scope, while "use step" isolates retryable, observable units of work within it. This separation ensures crash-safe execution and deterministic resumption of long-running API route tasks.

Can I use Vercel Workflow APIs to pause and resume long-running tasks via webhooks?▼

How do I retry failed steps in a long-running Vercel API route orchestration?▼

Retry failed steps by wrapping individual units of work with the "use step" directive inside your workflow. This makes each step observable and retryable, preventing progress loss during long-running API route orchestration.

Does durable orchestration work with stateful AI agents that need to stream results?▼

Durable orchestration supports stateful AI agents through DurableAgent, allowing you to stream results while maintaining durability across runs. This ensures long sessions survive restarts without losing their execution state.
