What problem does it solve?
The workflow Skill helps you create long-running, restart-safe automations that can pause for external events and resume later without losing progress.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Durable orchestration: Create workflows that survive restarts, retries, and multi-step execution.
- Step-first reliability: Use step functions for Node.js access, caching, and deterministic execution to avoid sandbox limitations.
- AI-ready agents: Run DurableAgent-based AI within workflows so tool execution and streaming work across durable steps.
- Event-driven coordination: Wait on hooks (and webhooks) to integrate external systems such as chat mentions, approvals, or queued events.
- Production-like failure handling: Use FatalError vs RetryableError to control retry behavior for different classes of failures.
Quick Start
Use the workflow skill to build a durable mention-driven agent that can pause for approval, retry transient failures, and resume with the approved payload.
