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.

Create async background tasks (workflows) using SQS or Hatchet. Use when building queue jobs, background processing, or async tasks.

Key capabilities

  • Defines background job registry entries
  • Scaffolds worker handler logic
  • Configures SQS vs Hatchet runners
  • Sets delay and retry parameters
  • Validates payload schema structures

How it works

Registers tasks in a central registry and maps them to specific backend runners which process messages asynchronously based on provided payloads.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Work definition and job payload specification
You get back
Workflow configuration files and trigger helper functions

When to use workflows

  • Setting up async job processing
  • Integrating SQS for fire-and-forget tasks
  • Implementing retriable workflows with Hatchet
  • Defining payload types for background jobs

About workflows

Configures background workers for tasks, supporting both simple SQS tasks and complex, retriable Hatchet workflows. It handles job naming, payload definition, and trigger registration.

Create async background tasks (workflows) using SQS or Hatchet. Use when building queue jobs, background processing, or async tasks.

When not to use it

  • For real-time user-facing operations requiring immediate feedback
  • When the system does not support asynchronous job queues

Prerequisites

Access to SQS or Hatchet infrastructure

Limitations

  • SQS is limited to 15-minute delays
  • Requires maintenance of infrastructure infrastructure workers

How it compares

It implements structured, repeatable async workflows rather than unmanaged background cron jobs or scripts.
