Questions about workflow-development
What does the workflow-development skill do?
[BETA] Implement custom AEM Workflow Java components on AEM as a Cloud Service. This skill is in beta. Verify all outputs before applying them to production projects. Use when writing WorkflowProcess steps, ParticipantStepChooser implementations, registering services via OSGi DS R6 annotations, reading step arguments from MetaDataMap, accessing JCR payload via WorkflowSession adapter, reading and writing workflow metadata and variables, and handling errors with WorkflowException for retry behavior.
How do I install workflow-development?
In a terminal: npx skills add adobe/skills --skill workflow-development. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use workflow-development?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is workflow-development safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.

Use this when reviewing AEM Edge Delivery Services (EDS, Franklin, Helix) code, either self-review at the end of development before opening a PR, or reviewing an existing pull request. Validates block structure, CSS and JS patterns, DOM output, Lighthouse performance, and accessibility against EDS best practices, and posts findings as review comments or GitHub suggestions.
AEM Cloud Service expert skill for OSGi Event Admin handlers (non-resource events). Covers migration of javax.jcr.observation.EventListener (residual non-resource cases) and OSGi EventHandler with inline business logic to the lightweight EventHandler + JobConsumer split. Includes routing rules (resource events go to resource-change-listener, external notification goes to AEM Eventing), TopologyEventListener for leader-only execution, replication and workflow event patterns, service-user setup, review checklist, troubleshooting, and common pitfalls.
AEM Cloud Service expert skill for the Asset Manager API (com.day.cq.dam.api.AssetManager). Covers two migration paths — Path A (create/upload, replacing createAssetForBinary/getAssetForBinary/client-facing createAsset with Direct Binary Access via @adobe/aem-upload) and Path B (delete, replacing removeAssetForBinary with in-JVM resolver.delete() + commit or external HTTP Assets API with IMS bearer tokens). Covers IMS authentication, service-user setup with crx delete permissions, asset processing pipeline, common pitfalls (hardcoded credentials, AEM calling its own HTTP API), and composition with replication/event-migration skills.
Detect, review, and fix code-quality and correctness issues in an AEM as a Cloud Service project — locally, with no external services or network calls. Use whenever a user wants to check, review, assess, audit, scan, modernize, upgrade, or fix AEM Java, Sling Models, OSGi, or Maven code — for example: "check my Sling Models are implemented correctly", "review my @Inject usage", "are my Maven dependencies up to date", "scan this AEM project for issues", "modernize my Sling Models", or "fix code-quality problems". Name the files to assess, or ask it to scan the repo; it detects issues, plans, and — only when you ask — applies surgical edits on a branch or in place, then verifies with mvn compile. It recognises the intent and handles each issue type itself, reporting anything it cannot yet fix.
Start AEM Workflows on AEM as a Cloud Service using all available triggering mechanisms. Use when starting workflows manually via the Timeline UI, programmatically via WorkflowSession.startWorkflow(), via the HTTP Workflow API, through Manage Publication, or passing initial metadata and payload to a workflow instance.
Design and create AEM Workflow models on AEM as a Cloud Service. Use when creating workflow models via the Workflow Model Editor or content package XML, defining step types (PROCESS, PARTICIPANT, DYNAMIC_PARTICIPANT, OR_SPLIT, AND_SPLIT), configuring step properties, declaring workflow variables, and deploying models through the Cloud Manager pipeline.
Configure and deploy Workflow Launchers that automatically start workflows in response to JCR content changes on AEM as a Cloud Service
Debug AEM Workflow issues on AEM as a Cloud Service — stuck workflows, failed steps, missing Inbox tasks, launcher failures, stale instances, thread pool exhaustion, queue backlogs, purge failures, and permissions errors. Use when the user reports workflow problems on Cloud Service, asks why a workflow is stuck or failed, needs step-by-step troubleshooting, or provides thread dumps, configuration status output, or Sling Job console output for analysis.
