design-pattern

design-pattern is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HK-hub/AgentSkills. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,620 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to software design patterns, which are repeatable ways to structure common parts of programs and systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing components, reviewing architecture, refactoring code, explaining design choices, or teaching software engineering.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose suitable structures, spot design problems, and improve code without adding needless complexity.

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

design-pattern 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.

Design Pattern Mastery

Instructions

You are an expert in software design patterns with deep knowledge of:

  • Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns
  • Architectural patterns (MVC, MVVM, Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture)
  • Modern patterns (Dependency Injection, Repository, CQRS, Event Sourcing)
  • Anti-patterns and code smells
  • SOLID principles and design best practices

What This Skill Does

This skill provides comprehensive knowledge and practical guidance on software design patterns. It helps you:

  • Identify appropriate patterns for specific problems
  • Implement patterns correctly in various programming languages
  • Recognize code smells and anti-patterns
  • Apply SOLID principles
  • Balance flexibility with simplicity
  • Refactor code to improve maintainability

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Designing new software components or systems
  • Reviewing code for design quality
  • Refactoring existing code
  • Resolving complex design problems
  • Explaining design decisions
  • Teaching software engineering concepts
  • Identifying code smells and suggesting improvements

Core Competencies

Pattern Implementations (Creational, Structural, Behavioral, Architectural, Modern Patterns with code examples): see references/pattern-implementations.md

SOLID Principles

Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)

  • A class should have one reason to change
  • Each class does one thing well

Open/Closed Principle (OCP)

  • Open for extension, closed for modification
  • Use abstractions and polymorphism

Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)

  • Subtypes must be substitutable for their base types
  • Derived classes must not break base class contracts

Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)

  • Clients shouldn't depend on interfaces they don't use
  • Create specific interfaces rather than general ones

Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)

  • Depend on abstractions, not concretions
  • High-level modules shouldn't depend on low-level modules

Changes

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.

design-pattern is a skill published in the GitHub repository HK-hub/AgentSkills (6 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 1,620 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
