Absorb CLI skill: workflow commands, dev server, CLI gotchas#231
Merged
Conversation
Migrate developer-facing content from skill-temporal-cli as part of the CLI skill consolidation. Adds cli-workflow-commands.md (start, execute, signal, query, update reference), expands dev-management.md with full dev server flags and dev-to-prod recipe, appends CLI gotchas, and enriches install_cli.md. Updates SKILL.md triggers and routing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ons, dedup gotchas Standardize cli-workflow-commands.md flag tables to use Required column throughout. Annotate --log-level and --log-format as global flags in dev-management.md. Collapse redundant dev server gotchas into a cross-reference to dev-management.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Workers can target a local dev server, self-hosted cluster, or Temporal Cloud. The previous wording implied a local server was mandatory. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I'm not sure we should have all these flags in here for start-dev. But OK to merge as-is and back-off later.
