What it does

Canva Reliability Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Canva reliability controls for transport failures, asynchronous jobs, token rotation, throttling, and dead letters. Use when preventing duplicate writes or recovering safely across timeouts and restarts. Trigger with: "Canva retries", "Canva circuit breaker", "recover Canva job".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a durable operation ledger, current error contract, scoped queues, and explicit failure budgets.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Async programming. It works with Canva. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Preventing duplicate writes
  • Recovering safely across timeouts and restarts
  • With: Canva retries
  • Canva circuit breaker

Example prompts

  • “Canva retries”
  • “Canva circuit breaker”
  • “recover Canva job”
  • “/canva-reliability-patterns”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a durable operation ledger, current error contract, scoped queues, and explicit failure budgets.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Classify operations
  2. Persist before dispatch
  3. Handle ambiguous failure
  4. Poll bounded jobs
  5. Serialize credential refresh
  6. Use scoped circuits and dead letters
  7. Prove recovery

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • canva.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires a durable operation ledger, current error contract, scoped queues, and explicit failure budgets.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Canva Reliability Patterns loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Canva Reconciliation and Recovery

Overview

Reliability begins with knowing whether an operation happened. Reconcile existing resources and jobs before replaying a mutation, and keep credential rotation outside generic request retries.

Prerequisites

  • Operation types, retry classifications, and duplicate impact
  • Durable identity/job ledger and terminal-state contract
  • Endpoint/user queues, time budgets, alert owner, and rollback

Instructions

Step 1: Classify operations

Use Read and Grep to label safe read, token exchange, mutating submission, job poll, webhook delivery, and cleanup. Define retriable errors per operation.

Step 2: Persist before dispatch

Create one application operation record with tenant/resource authorization and intended effect before sending a mutating request.

Step 3: Handle ambiguous failure

After timeout or connection loss, use returned or recoverable identity to query existing state. Never blindly recreate a design, export, upload, or autofill.

Step 4: Poll bounded jobs

Apply exponential backoff with jitter to the same job, stop at local deadline, continue later from durable state, and handle success/failed plus unknown future states safely.

Step 5: Serialize credential refresh

Single-flight by Canva user, atomically store the returned replacement refresh token, wake waiting requests on success, and reauthorize rather than looping invalid credentials.

Step 6: Use scoped circuits and dead letters

Open by endpoint/failure class, preserve operations with reconciliation state, and require an owner before replay. Do not mix authorization failures with provider availability.

Step 7: Prove recovery

Use Write or Edit to test restart, duplicate delivery, lost response, throttling, terminal failure, refresh race, circuit recovery, and dead-letter replay.

Authentication

Canva Connect calls use Bearer access tokens obtained by a backend through OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with SHA-256 PKCE. Request explicit least-privilege scopes, keep client secrets and tokens out of browser-visible state, and serialize refresh so the replacement single-use refresh token is stored atomically.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep for discovery and evidence. Use Write or Edit only for the approved artifact, code, configuration, test, or receipt described by this workflow; do not make an unapproved Canva-side change.

Output

  • Scoped decision or implementation artifact
  • Redacted operation and validation receipt
  • Failure, rollback, and follow-up ownership record

Examples

A network timeout follows export submission. The worker retains the operation and job reference, resumes polling after restart, and never submits a second export merely because the response was uncertain.
