Stores the Temporal company-blog material in the repo under company-blogs/ (root-level, outside docs/, so it is archived-only and never built or served by MkDocs).

Includes:

  • The published "Everything in Its Place: Making Agents Write Correct Temporal Applications" post (live at https://temporal.io/blog/making-agents-write-correct-temporal-applications)
  • A README explaining the company-blogs/ section
  • Seed material for a future timers-vs-timeouts post (outline + Slack source notes)
  • The AI-Apps edit checklist and a parked note on density-based AI-tell detection

The draft carried several claims that would not have survived a reader
checking them. The Knowledge Base section quoted a refusal string the
MCP server never emits; the real wording was captured from the live Ask
AI widget and substituted. "Early 2023" paired with "agents" was
anachronistic, since Copilot Chat did not reach GA until December 2023,
so that sentence now refers to ChatGPT's launch and to AI rather than
agents. The claim that every official SDK has a samples repository
omitted Rust, whose samples-rust holds only a pointer into sdk-rust.
The skill-invocation advice referred to a "classifier" that does not
exist in the Skills mechanism.

Terminology now follows Temporal's published docs style guide: Temporal
Application and Event History capitalized, replay testing lowercase,
and the skill command in its namespaced plugin form. Also fixes a
markdown bug where an image and the following line would have rendered
as one paragraph, plus a batch of grammar and agreement errors.

Left alone deliberately: the hotlinked Giphy embeds, the customer claim
with no named source, and the consultant parable's figures.

Adds the images the post references and drops the earlier top-level
copy now that the post lives in its own directory. Ignores Playwright
MCP scratch output, and records this repo's commit rules in CLAUDE.md:
no .ai-sessions/ here, and commits run with --no-verify.
Keep the in-progress Temporal company-blog material together on its own
branch rather than leaving it uncommitted. Adds a README explaining the
company-blogs section, the timers-vs-timeouts post outline and its Slack
source notes, the AI-Apps edit checklist, and a parked note on
density-based AI-tell detection.

Also lands two small polish edits to the AI-Apps post: moves the "how I
do things" plug to the end as a sign-off, and drops the shouty all-caps
in the Old Man Yells At Cloud image alt text.
"Getting My Ducks in a Row" was a generic idiom with no line into the
piece. "Everything in Its Place" is the English gloss of mise en place,
the post's opening image and its actual thesis: prep the context,
guardrails, and spec before the agent cooks. Now published on the
Temporal blog.
