bp-distributed-systems

bp-distributed-systems is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from davidYichengWei/agentic-engineering-framework. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,274 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing systems made of multiple computers or services that communicate over a network. It covers delays, lost connections, security, coordination, data consistency, failures, and recovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing network calls, remote procedure calls, message queues, clusters, replication, sharding, retries, failover, or recovery behavior.
Why use it?
It counters unsafe assumptions such as networks always working, systems always being available, or failures being rare.

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

bp-distributed-systems 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 4d 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 it actually says

分布式系统设计原则

触发条件:需求涉及以下任一场景时应加载此 skill:

  • 网络通信(RPC、HTTP、消息队列)
  • 多节点协调(集群、主从、分片)
  • 数据一致性(事务、复制、同步)
  • 故障恢复(重试、failover、降级)

13 条 Best Practices

每条对应一个常见 Fallacy(错误假设)。

# Fallacy 现实 Best Practice 关键设计要点
BP-1 网络可靠 会丢包、延迟、断连 假设网络会失败 超时、重试(指数退避)、幂等、断路器
BP-2 延迟为零 受距离/拥塞/处理影响 延迟是核心考量 异步优于同步、批量、本地缓存、预取
BP-3 带宽无限 高峰期是稀缺资源 最小化传输量 压缩、只传必要字段、分页/流式、优先级队列
BP-4 网络安全 可被窃听/篡改/攻击 零信任架构 TLS加密、认证授权、输入验证、审计日志
BP-5 拓扑不变 节点会增减/故障/迁移 适应动态拓扑 服务发现、负载均衡、健康检查、优雅上下线
BP-6 单管理员 跨多个管理边界 多管理域协调 接口契约、版本兼容、跨团队沟通、统一监控
BP-7 传输免费 消耗带宽/CPU/电力 优化传输路径 数据本地性、减少跨AZ调用、批量合并、增量同步
BP-8 网络同构 不同厂商/配置/性能 兼容异构环境 不依赖特定网络特性、协议协商、适配不同MTU
BP-9 系统单体 多个独立组件构成 显式管理交互 组件边界、清晰接口、依赖管理、部分失败
BP-10 完全可观测 状态难以完整获取 主动设计可观测性 结构化日志、分布式追踪、指标埋点、健康检查
BP-11 永远在线 维护/故障/网络都会停机 高可用架构 冗余部署、自动failover、优雅降级、灾备
BP-12 单一根因 多个关联因素 多维度故障分析 关联分析、保留上下文、时间线重建、故障注入
BP-13 故障罕见 规模化后是常态 为故障而设计 故障隔离(blast radius)、自动恢复、混沌工程

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.

bp-distributed-systems is a skill published in the GitHub repository davidYichengWei/agentic-engineering-framework (158 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,274 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
