Design distributed systems using Leslie Lamport's rigorous approach. Emphasizes formal reasoning, logical time, consensus protocols, and state machine replication. Use when building systems where correctness under concurrency and partial failure is critical.
Distributed systems patterns for locking, resilience, idempotency, and rate limiting. Use when implementing distributed locks, circuit breakers, retry policies, idempotency keys, token bucket rate limiters, or fault tolerance patterns.
When designing distributed systems for scalability, reliability, and consistency. Covers CAP/PACELC theorems, consistency models (strong, eventual, causal), replication patterns (leader-follower, multi-leader, leaderless), partitioning strategies (hash, range, geographic), transaction patterns (saga, event sourcing, CQRS), resilience patterns (circuit breaker, bulkhead), service discovery, and caching strategies for building fault-tolerant distributed architectures.
CQRS and Event Sourcing for auditability, read/write separation, and temporal queries. Triggers: CQRS, event-sourcing, audit-trail, temporal queries, distributed-systems Use when: read/write scaling differs or audit trail required DO NOT use when: selecting paradigms (use architecture-paradigms first), simple CRUD without audit needs.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "design a system", "design <a product>" (e.g. "design WhatsApp", "design a URL shortener", "design a news feed"), "high-level architecture for…", "how would you architect…", "system design interview", or wants to scope, diagram, and justify a backend/distributed-system design. It runs a reasoning loop — clarify, estimate, design, weigh trade-offs, stress-test, iterate — and routes to focused building-block skills. Use it whenever a request is an open-ended design problem, even if the user doesn't say "system design".
Cloud design patterns for distributed systems architecture covering 42 industry-standard patterns across reliability, performance, messaging, security, and deployment categories. Use when designing, reviewing, or implementing distributed system architectures.
Production-grade fault tolerance for distributed systems. Use when implementing circuit breakers, retry with exponential backoff, bulkhead isolation patterns, or building resilience into LLM API integrations.
Use this skill when designing distributed systems, architecting scalable services, preparing for system design interviews, or making infrastructure decisions. Triggers on load balancing, CAP theorem, sharding, replication, caching strategies, message queues, microservices architecture, database selection, rate limiting, and any task requiring high-level system architecture decisions.
Design stable, compatible public APIs using extend-only design principles. Manage API compatibility, wire compatibility, and versioning for NuGet packages and distributed systems.
Distinguished Principal Engineer backend/system architecture skill. Use when the user demands "BackendPE", "Supermode", "Antigravity", or requests high-performance, unlimited-context, world-class backend and distributed systems design. This skill maximizes depth, rigor, and production readiness.
Use when designing new system architecture, reviewing existing designs, or making architectural decisions. Invoke for system design, architecture review, design patterns, ADRs, scalability planning.
Distributed systems expert specializing in service decomposition, orchestration, and microservices architecture patterns. Use when designing microservices, defining service boundaries, implementing service mesh, or handling distributed system challenges. Triggers include "microservices", "service mesh", "service decomposition", "distributed systems", "API gateway", "event-driven".
