distributed-feasibility-checker

distributed-feasibility-checker is a skill for Claude Code from bookforge-ai/bookforge-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,810 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC-BY-SA-4.0.

A structured check for deciding whether a system should be distributed across multiple services or remain a monolith. It considers common distributed-system problems and whether the team can operate the added complexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when comparing a monolith with microservices or another distributed design before committing to the change.
Why use it?
Distributed systems introduce network failures, coordination costs, and operational work that a monolith avoids. This helps determine whether those costs are justified.

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

distributed-feasibility-checker 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 7d 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.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
