Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Async job processing with validated state transitions, progress tracking, and asset linking. Ensure jobs always reach terminal states with proper error handling.Key capabilities
- →Define valid state transitions for async jobs
- →Track job progress and status updates
- →Link assets to specific job IDs
- →Ensure jobs reach terminal states
- →Handle error states and recovery
How it works
The skill uses a defined state machine to validate transitions between job statuses and ensures all jobs reach a terminal state.
Inputs & outputs
When to use job-state-machine
- →Building reliable background task queues
- →Tracking job progress and status
- →Implementing error handling for async jobs
About job-state-machine
Ensures background jobs follow strict state transitions and reach terminal states. Includes logic for progress tracking and asset association with proper error recovery.
Async job processing with validated state transitions, progress tracking, and asset linking. Ensure jobs always reach terminal states with proper error handling.
When not to use it
- →Synchronous tasks that do not require state persistence
- →Simple scripts without background processing
Limitations
- →Requires adherence to defined terminal states
- →Requires database integration for state persistence
How it compares
It provides a formal, validated state transition mechanism instead of manual status flag management.
