Design durable workflows with Temporal for distributed systems. Covers workflow vs activity separation, saga patterns, state management, and determinism constraints. Use when building long-running processes, distributed transactions, or microservice orchestration.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Workflow Orchestration Patterns Master workflow orchestration architecture with Temporal, covering fundamental design decisions, resilience patterns, and best practices for building reliable distributed systems. ## When to Use Workflow Orchestration ### Ideal Use Cases (Source: docs.temporal.io) - **Multi-step processes** spanning machines/services/databases - **Distributed transactions** requiring all-or-nothing semantics - **Long-running workflows** (hours to years) with automatic state persistence - **Failure recovery** that must resume from last successful step - **Business processes**: bookings, orders, campaigns, approvals - **Entity lifecycle management**: inventory tracking, account management, cart workflows - **Infrastructure automation**: CI/CD pipelines, provisioning, deployments - **Human-in-the-loop** systems requiring timeouts and escalations ### When NOT to Use - Simple CRUD operations (use direct API calls) - Pure data processing pipelines (use Airflow, batch processing) - Stateless request/response (use standard APIs) - Real-time streaming (use Kafka, event processors) ## Detailed patterns and worked examples …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/workflow-orchestration-patterns@sha256:f4418f98189bd89dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260522.be57c0b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
