grpc-service-designer

grpc-service-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from khalilbenaz/claude-skills-collection. It costs 104 tokens per session (2,309 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing gRPC services, a system for fast service-to-service communication using Protobuf contracts. It covers request patterns, streaming, generated code, errors, security, and compatibility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write .proto files, design RPC methods, implement clients and servers, handle streaming and deadlines, add health checks, and test backward compatibility.
Why use it?
It helps choose between single requests and different kinds of data streams before implementation. It also reduces integration problems by keeping client and server contracts consistent across deployments.

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

grpc-service-designer 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 9d 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.

Concepteur de Services gRPC

Workflow en étapes

  1. Qualifier la communication — choisir le bon pattern (voir tableau ci-dessous) avant d'ouvrir un éditeur.
  2. Concevoir le contrat .proto — package versionné, messages dédiés par RPC, enums avec valeur 0 UNSPECIFIED.
  3. Générer le codeprotoc ou plugin SDK ; vérifier que le code généré ne doit jamais être édité manuellement.
  4. Implémenter serveur puis client — gestion d'erreurs gRPC status codes, deadlines, idempotence.
  5. Sécuriser et observer — TLS mutuel, intercepteurs logging/métriques, health checks.
  6. Valider la compatibilité — tester la rétrocompatibilité binaire avant tout déploiement.

Critère de choix du pattern de communication

Pattern Quand l'utiliser Exemple concret
Unaire Requête/réponse atomique, latence faible CRUD, auth, paiement ponctuel
Server streaming Serveur pousse un volume inconnu Notifications, export CSV/JSON
Client streaming Client envoie un flux puis attend le résultat Upload fichiers, ingestion de logs
Bidirectionnel Dialogue continu, ordre important Chat temps réel, monitoring interactif

Règle heuristique : si la réponse tient dans une seule trame TCP et que le serveur répond immédiatement → unaire. Dès qu'une des parties envoie plusieurs messages → streaming.

Conception du contrat Protobuf

Structure de référence

syntax = "proto3";

package myapp.payments.v1;

option csharp_namespace = "MyApp.Payments.V1";
option go_package = "github.com/myapp/payments/v1;paymentsv1";

import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";

service PaymentService {
  // Unaire
  rpc CreatePayment(CreatePaymentRequest) returns (CreatePaymentResponse);
  // Server streaming
  rpc WatchStatus(WatchStatusRequest) returns (stream PaymentStatusEvent);
  // Client streaming
  rpc BatchImport(stream ImportTransactionRequest) returns (BatchImportResponse);
  // Bidirectionnel
  rpc SyncLedger(stream LedgerEntry) returns (stream LedgerAck);
}

message CreatePaymentRequest {
  string idempotency_key = 1;  // UUID v4, obligatoire
  int64  amount_cents    = 2;
  string currency        = 3;  // ISO 4217
  string recipient_id    = 4;
  map<string, string> metadata = 5;
}

message CreatePaymentResponse {
  string payment_id = 1;
  PaymentStatus status = 2;
  google.protobuf.Timestamp created_at = 3;
}

enum PaymentStatus {
  PAYMENT_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED = 0;  // obligatoire
  PAYMENT_STATUS_PENDING     = 1;
  PAYMENT_STATUS_PROCESSING  = 2;
  PAYMENT_STATUS_COMPLETED   = 3;
  PAYMENT_STATUS_FAILED      = 4;
}

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.
