Colophon
How this issue was made- Source
- github.com/temporalio/skill-temporal-developer, branch
main, last pushed 18 September 2026. - Licence
- MIT — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.
- Discovery
- 1 skill found by walking the repository tree for
SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. One layout observed:SKILL.md (repo root). - Issue colours
- Resolved from a curated brand profile — hue 255°, chroma 0.190. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.
- Heading repairs
- 1 repair applied to the front matter so the document has one
h1and no skipped levels:- Shifted “8 headings” from h1 to h2 so the skill title is the only h1.
- Spec compliance
- Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.
- Images
- Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.
- Signal
- Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.
- Agent surfaces
- The whole issue is available as one markdown document at
/temporalio/skill-temporal-developer.md, and each skill at its own.mdURL. - Publication
- Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
