# Temporal AI Skill Guide (Gemini)

## Directives

1. Read `WorkflowTaskFailed` payload for expected vs actual commands.
2. Correlate deploy time with nondeterminism metric spikes.
3. Distinguish activity failure (retryable) from workflow task failure (often code/version).

---

## Agent Operational Directive

> **MANDATORY**: Recommend rollback + patch/version before editing history or terminating production workflows without approval.
