external-service-template

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust template for integrating with external services that handle long-running jobs, ensuring reliable execution and status monitoring.

Core Features & Use Cases

• External Job Orchestration: Manages the lifecycle of asynchronous tasks executed by external APIs.
• Polling Mechanism: Implements a time-based polling strategy to track job progress and completion.
• Error Handling: Gracefully handles service failures, timeouts, and connection errors.
• Use Case: Integrate with a third-party image processing service that takes time to render complex graphics. This Skill will initiate the job, poll for its completion, and retrieve the final rendered image.

Quick Start

Use the external-service-template skill to start a new job with the description 'generate report' and parameters {'user_id': 123}.
