Pro Tips

Use 'temporal workflow execute' instead of 'start' to see the result immediately.

Filter workflows with list queries: 'temporal workflow list --query "WorkflowType='MyWorkflow'"'.

View event history in real-time with: 'temporal workflow show --workflow-id <id> --follow'.

Use '--workflow-id' for deterministic IDs to prevent duplicate executions.

Common Mistakes

terminate forcibly stops workflows without cleanup. Use cancel for graceful shutdown.

reset creates a new execution from a point in history. Test carefully as it may replay with different code.
