## What it does

This plugin equips Claude Code with the `temporal-developer` skill, guiding engineers through SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Java. It supplies reference patterns for designing workflows, defining activities, and setting up workers. It also covers retries, timeouts, signals, and queries.

Workflow execution issues can be tricky. The skill specifically targets non-determinism bugs and teaches safe code versioning strategies. It also outlines saga patterns and automated testing workflows.

The project is currently in Public Preview. Expect changes as the plugin develops.

## Install

# Temporal Plugin for Claude Code

This repository provides a [Claude Code plugin](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins) for working with [Temporal](https://temporal.io/) — developing applications, using the CLI, managing server, and working with Temporal Cloud.

> [!WARNING]
> This plugin is in Public Preview, and will continue to evolve and improve.
> We would love to hear your feedback - positive or negative - over in the [Community Slack](https://t.mp/slack), in the [#topic-ai channel](https://temporalio.slack.com/archives/C0818FQPYKY)

## Installation

From inside Claude Code, run:

1. `/plugin marketplace add temporalio/claude-temporal-plugin`
2. `/plugin install temporal@temporal-marketplace`

Then run `/reload-plugins` to activate the plugin in the current session.

*Note:* We recommend enabling automatic updates using the interactive `/plugin` menu 

### Alternative: interactive install

1. Run `/plugin` to open the plugin manager
2. Select **Marketplaces**
3. Choose `temporal-marketplace` from the list
4. Select **Enable auto-update** (recommended) or **Disable auto-update**
5. Install the `temporal` plugin
6. Run `/reload-plugins`

## What's Included

- **temporal-developer** skill — Comprehensive guidance for developing Temporal applications: creating workflows, activities, and workers; handling signals, queries, and updates; debugging non-determinism errors; implementing saga patterns, versioning strategies, and testing approaches across Python, TypeScript, Go, and Java SDKs.

## Standalone Skill

The skill content is derived from [temporalio/skill-temporal-developer](https://github.com/temporalio/skill-temporal-developer). If you only need the skill without the plugin wrapper, you can install it directly from that repo.
