Implement saga patterns for distributed transactions and cross-aggregate workflows. Use this skill when implementing distributed transactions across microservices where 2PC is unavailable, designing compensating actions for failed order workflows that span inventory, payment, and shipping services, building event-driven saga coordinators for travel booking systems that must roll back hotel, flight, and car rental reservations atomically, or debugging stuck saga states in production where…
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
# Saga Orchestration Patterns for managing distributed transactions and long-running business processes without two-phase commit. ## Inputs and Outputs **What you provide:** - Service boundaries and ownership (which service owns which step) - Transaction requirements (which steps must be atomic, which can be eventual) - Failure modes for each step (transient vs. permanent, retry policy) - SLA requirements per step (informs timeout configuration) - Existing event/messaging infrastructure (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, etc.) **What this skill produces:** - Saga definition with ordered steps, action commands, and compensation commands - Orchestrator or choreography implementation for your chosen pattern - Compensation logic for each participant service (idempotent, always-succeeds) - Step timeout configuration with per-step deadlines - Monitoring setup: state machine metrics, stuck saga detection, DLQ recovery --- ## When to Use This Skill - Coordinating multi-service transactions without distributed locks - Implementing compensating transactions for partial failures - Managing long-running business workflows (minutes to hours) …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/saga-orchestration@sha256:95372f5b82350535The 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.
