Improve render-workflows skill frontmatter and overview (#16)
* Improve render-workflows SKILL.md frontmatter and overview Add missing frontmatter fields (license, compatibility, metadata) to match conventions used by other Render skills. Improve the description to explain what Workflows are before listing skill capabilities. Expand the body overview with a "How it works" walkthrough and key capabilities summary based on the official docs. * Update skills/render-workflows/SKILL.md --------- Co-authored-by: Raphael Terrier <R4ph-t@users.noreply.github.com> GitOrigin-RevId: 09041c9902f8e29b4bcb85e8797943d0dff010ff

description: Set up, develop, test, and deploy Render Workflows. Covers first-time scaffolding (via CLI or manual), task patterns (retries, subtasks, fan-out), local development, Dashboard deployment, and troubleshooting. Use when a user wants to set up Render Workflows for the first time, install the Render Workflows SDK (Python or TypeScript), scaffold a workflow service, add or modify tasks, test locally, or deploy to Render.

# Render Workflows

8-
Define, test, and deploy distributed background tasks using the Render Workflows SDK.
14+
Render Workflows rapidly distribute computational work across multiple independent instances.
15+
Use them for AI agents, ETL pipelines, background jobs, and data processing.

**How it works:**
18+
1. **Define tasks** — Use the Render SDK (Python or TypeScript) to designate functions as tasks
19+
2. **Register** — Tasks register automatically when you link your repo to a Workflow service in the Dashboard
20+
3. **Trigger runs** — Execute tasks from anywhere using the SDK client or API; each execution is a "run"
21+
4. **Execute** — Render spins up each run in its own instance (typically under a second); runs can chain additional runs for parallel execution
22+
23+
**Key capabilities:** automatic queuing and orchestration, long-running execution (up to 24 hours), configurable retry logic with exponential backoff, adjustable compute specs per task, and execution observability through the Dashboard.

**Render Workflows are in beta.** The SDK and API may introduce breaking changes.
