SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you set up Vercel Workflow SDK before it is installed, so you can start using durable workflows in a new or existing app without guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Framework Detection: Identifies supported stacks such as Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, NestJS, Nitro, Express, Fastify, Hono, and Vite.
  • Guided Initialization: Follows the official getting-started path to install dependencies, configure the framework, create the first workflow, add a route handler, and verify the setup.
  • Practical Scenarios: Use it when adding durable background jobs, workflow orchestration, or step-based server actions to a web app or API service.

Quick Start

Ask to install and configure Workflow SDK for your app and follow the official setup steps for the detected framework.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Vercel Workflow SDK in a Next.js application?

Guided initialization detects your Next.js framework, installs dependencies, configures the setup, creates your first workflow route handler, and verifies the configuration before the package exists in node_modules.

Can I use durable workflows with frameworks other than Next.js?

Durable workflows are supported across Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, NestJS, Nitro, Express, Fastify, Hono, and Vite through automated framework detection and framework-specific onboarding.

What are durable workflows and when do I need them in my web app?

Durable workflows are reliable background jobs and step-based server actions for workflow orchestration. You need them when adding reliable, long-running background processes or orchestrated steps to a web app or API service.

Do I need to install the Workflow SDK package before running the setup?

No, the setup handles installation and configuration before the package exists in node_modules, allowing you to start using durable workflows without manual dependency installation guesswork.

What's the best way to add background jobs and workflow orchestration to an Express API?

The best way is using guided initialization to install dependencies, configure Express, create your first workflow, and verify the setup for durable background processing and workflow orchestration.

Why does workflow route verification fail during framework setup?

Workflow route verification can fail if dependency checks are incomplete, framework detection is incorrect, or the route handler was not properly added during the guided initialization steps.
