What this skill does


# Workflow Management Skill

This skill helps you work with QStash-based workflows in `apps/api/src/lib/workflows/`.

## When to Use This Skill

- Adding new scheduled workflows for data fetching
- Debugging workflow execution errors
- Modifying existing workflow schedules or logic
- Integrating new data sources into the update pipeline
- Adding new social media posting workflows

## Workflow Architecture

The project uses QStash workflows with the following structure:

```
apps/api/src/lib/workflows/
├── cars/                 # Car registration data workflows
│   └── update.ts        # Scheduled car data updates
├── coe/                 # COE bidding data workflows
│   └── update.ts        # Scheduled COE data updates
└── social/              # Social media posting workflows
    ├── discord.ts
    ├── linkedin.ts
    ├── telegram.ts
    └── twitter.ts
```

## Key Patterns

### 1. Workflow Definition

Workflows are defined using QStash SDK:

```typescript
import { serve } from "@upstash/workflow";

export const POST = serve(async (context) => {
  // Step 1: Fetch data
  await context.run("fetch-data", async () => {
    // Fetching logic
  });

  // Step 2: Process data
  const processed = await context.run("process-data", async () => {
    // Processing logic
  });

  // Step 3: Store results
  await context.run("store-results", async () => {
    // Storage logic
  });
});
```

### 2. Scheduling Workflows

Workflows are triggered via cron schedules configured in:
- SST infrastructure (`infra/`)
- QStash console
- Manual API calls to workflow endpoints

### 3. Error Handling

Always include comprehensive error handling:

```typescript
await context.run("step-name", async () => {
  try {
    // Logic here
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Step failed:", error);
    // Log to monitoring service
    throw error; // Re-throw for workflow retry
  }
});
```

## Common Tasks

### Adding a New Workflow

1. Create workflow file in appropriate directory
2. Define workflow steps using `context.run()`
3. Add route handler in `apps/api/src/routes/`
4. Configure scheduling (if needed)
5. Add tests for workflow logic

### Debugging Workflow Failures

1. Check QStash dashboard for execution logs
2. Review CloudWatch logs for Lambda errors
3. Verify environment variables are set correctly
4. Test workflow locally using development server
5. Check database connectivity and Redis availability

### Modifying Existing Workflows

1. Read existing workflow implementation
2. Identify which step needs modification
3. Update step logic while maintaining error handling
4. Test changes locally
5. Deploy and monitor execution

## Environment Variables

Workflows typically need:
- `DATABASE_URL` - PostgreSQL connection
- `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL` / `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN` - Redis
- `QSTASH_TOKEN` - QStash authentication
- Service-specific tokens (Discord webhook, Twitter API, etc.)

## Testing Workflows

Run workflow tests:
```bash
pnpm -F @sgcarstrends/api test -- src/lib/workflows
```

Test individual workflow locally:
```bash
# Start dev server
pnpm dev

# Trigger workflow via HTTP
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/workflows/cars/update
```

## Best Practices

1. **Idempotency**: Ensure workflows can safely retry without duplicating data
2. **Step Granularity**: Break workflows into small, focused steps
3. **Logging**: Add comprehensive logging for debugging
4. **Timeouts**: Configure appropriate timeouts for long-running operations
5. **Testing**: Write unit tests for workflow logic
6. **Monitoring**: Track workflow execution metrics

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

Backend & APIsscripts

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
