Vercel Workflows v4 operator

Look up Vercel Workflows commands, configuration, lifecycle controls, and focused operations across definitions and steps, durability and retries, sleep and events, human approval, versioning and observability. Use when the user wants a concise reference instead of a guided workflow.

Author Vercel Workflow definitions and steps with directives, serializable inputs and outputs, deterministic orchestration, side-effect boundaries, and typed results. Use when creating a workflow, splitting work into steps, fixing serialization, or moving side effects into durable boundaries.

Configure workflow durability, checkpoints, retries, backoff, timeouts, idempotency, crash recovery, compensation, and poison-step handling. Use when a workflow must survive failures, retries duplicate work, or recovery and compensation need design.

Inspect Vercel Workflows package and CLI versions, project and account context, configuration, environment variable names, resources or runs, persistence, limits, and safe checks without changing anything. Use before Vercel Workflows work, when the target is uncertain, or when the user asks what is configured.

Implement human-in-the-loop workflow approvals with immutable action previews, approver identity, authorization, expiry, denial, audit, and durable resume semantics. Use when a workflow proposes consequential action, must pause for review, or approval behavior is incorrect.

Connect Vercel Workflows to application runtimes, identity, storage, external events, observability, CI, and deployment while preserving isolation, durability, credential, and action boundaries. Use when Vercel Workflows crosses another system or must operate consistently through production.

Install and configure Vercel Workflows from zero with project-local packages, exact account and environment scope, server-only authentication, baseline limits and persistence, one minimal operation, and bounded verification. Use when a project has no Vercel Workflows setup or the user explicitly asks to initialize it.

Operate durable workflow sleeps, timers, hooks, events, correlation identifiers, external callbacks, races, timeout paths, and resume validation. Use when pausing without compute, waiting for an external event, resuming from callbacks, or handling timeout races.

Diagnose Vercel Workflows failures involving versions, scope, authentication, resource or run state, persistence, retries, timeouts, isolation, networking, observability, usage, and deployment without masking the original error. Use when Vercel Workflows fails, stalls, resumes incorrectly, or causes unexpected remote effects.

Operate workflow versioning and observability including atomic deployment versions, run history, step timelines, logs, traces, usage, schema migration, rollback, and incident review. Use when deploying workflow changes, inspecting runs, correlating failures, or rolling back without corrupting in-flight work.
