reactive-integration-design

reactive-integration-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from avizmarlon/agent-skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,036 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for integrations that react to events from external systems, such as containers, Kubernetes, message queues, or file systems. It recommends using events produced by the operating system or runtime, such as Docker events or Kubernetes watches, to learn what actually happened.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing event-driven integrations, choosing between runtime event streams, webhooks, software callbacks, and polling, and planning how to detect deployments, state changes, queue messages, or file changes.
Why use it?
It helps avoid missed or silently changed notifications from application webhooks, which are messages an application promises to send when something occurs. The approach favors event sources closer to the system itself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

reactive-integration-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Observe Facts, Not Promises — Reactive Integration Design

When designing a reactive integration to an external system event (container deployment, Kubernetes state change, queue message, OS-level file change), prefer primitive event streams (kernel-level or runtime-level — docker events, inotify, Kubernetes watch API, fanotify, journald) over application-level callbacks (webhooks, SDK callbacks, HTTP API polling).

Why This Matters

Primitive events describe facts. They are generated by the kernel or runtime and represent something that actually occurred in the system. The contract between your integration and the event source is stable across versions because it is enforced at the infrastructure layer, not the application layer.

Webhooks describe promises. They are contracts the application makes to notify you when something happens. Promises break silently:

  • When the application upgrades, the webhook payload format may change without notice.
  • When the application loses permissions or encounters errors, events get dropped without notification.
  • Under high load, the application may batch, skip, or defer webhook deliveries.
  • The webhook endpoint itself may be removed or behavior changed without backward compatibility.

The fragility gap: a webhook depends on the application continuing to implement and maintain the notification contract. A primitive event stream depends only on the infrastructure remaining functional—which it must, or the entire system fails anyway.

Examples

  • Container deployment monitoring: Instead of polling the Kubernetes API every N seconds or relying on a platform's webhook delivery, consume the Kubernetes watch API directly. The watch API is a runtime primitive; a platform's webhook system is an application-level contract that can change.
  • File system integration: Instead of consuming an application's "file changed" callback, use inotify (Linux) or fanotify (Linux, more recent) to observe kernel-level file events. These are OS primitives.
  • Container lifecycle: Instead of relying on a container orchestration platform's webhook, consume docker events directly. docker events is a runtime primitive exposed by the Docker daemon.
  • Journal events: Instead of polling application logs via HTTP API, follow journald on the host. Journal is kernel-level infrastructure.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

reactive-integration-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository avizmarlon/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,036 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
