microservices-decomposition

microservices-decomposition is a skill for Claude Code from cnfeat/top-pm-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,913 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A microservices decomposition design explains how to split a monolith or new system into separate services. A monolith is one application containing many parts; microservices are smaller services that can be owned and deployed separately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decompose a monolith, define service boundaries, choose synchronous or asynchronous communication, and plan a gradual migration.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose service boundaries, data ownership, and communication methods before splitting a system. It also provides a migration plan and connects service ownership to team structure.

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

microservices-decomposition 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 6d 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.

Microservices Decomposition

Produce a complete microservices decomposition design for a system — whether decomposing an existing monolith or designing service boundaries for a new system. Ground the decomposition in Domain-Driven Design (DDD) concepts: identify bounded contexts first, then derive service boundaries from them. Include communication pattern decisions (sync vs. async, event vs. RPC), data ownership rules, and a pragmatic migration plan if decomposing a monolith. Conway's Law is real — include an organizational alignment section. The deliverable should be specific enough that a team can begin implementation, not an abstract architectural diagram.

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not already provided:

  • System or domain description — what the system does, its core domain, and the key business processes it supports
  • Current architecture — monolith (describe the tech stack and rough module structure), partial services (list existing services), or greenfield
  • Team structure — number of teams, team names if known, and approximate team sizes; this drives service ownership
  • Performance and scalability requirements — any specific SLAs, load characteristics, or scaling constraints per domain area
  • Migration constraints — what cannot be rewritten all at once, hard deadlines, zero-downtime requirements, budget constraints
  • Integration points — external systems, third-party APIs, or legacy systems that cannot be changed

If decomposing a monolith, also ask for: approximate codebase size, what is most painful to change today, and where the team experiences the most coupling-related friction.

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.
