Cadence Workflow is a CNCF sandbox project for durable workflow orchestration. This ContribFest will be a working session for improving Cadence’s AI-agent developer path: runnable examples, docs, and starter issues that show how to model long-running agentic workflows as durable workflows.

Participants will work with Cadence maintainers on concrete tasks such as validating the local quickstart, improving docs for retries/timeouts/idempotent activities, creating or polishing an AI-agent workflow sample, and identifying confusing setup or contribution steps. The session will start with a short overview of Cadence and the available issues, then split into small groups to make docs PRs, sample updates, or issue triage progress.

The project benefit is a better contributor onramp and more practical examples for developers building reliable agent workflows with Cadence.
