event-sourcing-cqrs-patterns

event-sourcing-cqrs-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mickeyyaya/refactoring-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (5,062 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to event sourcing, where an application stores each change as an event, and CQRS, which separates changing data from reading it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing event logs, read models, projections, snapshots, event changes, replay logic, and eventually consistent systems.
Why use it?
It helps review systems that need history, audit trails, complex business rules, or reliable asynchronous updates without losing important design details.

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

event-sourcing-cqrs-patterns 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 11d 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.

Event Sourcing and CQRS Patterns

Overview

Traditional CRUD stores only current state — once you update a record, the history is gone. Event Sourcing inverts this: every state change is recorded as an immutable event appended to an event log. The current state is always derived by replaying events. CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) separates the write side (commands that emit events) from the read side (projections that build optimized query models).

When to use: Audit trail requirements, financial ledgers, collaborative editing, domain-driven systems with complex business rules, systems needing temporal queries ("what was the balance on date X?"), or microservice architectures requiring reliable async integration.

Quick Reference

Pattern Core Idea Primary Red Flag
Event Store Append-only log of domain events Mutable events, missing sequence numbers
CQRS Separate write model (commands) from read model (queries) Single model that is both read and written
Projection / Read Model Build query-optimized view from events Projections tightly coupled to event internals
Snapshot Checkpoint aggregate state to skip full replay Snapshots taken too rarely or too often
Aggregate Replay Rebuild aggregate by replaying its event stream Loading entire global log instead of per-aggregate stream
Event Versioning / Upcasting Migrate old event schemas to new versions Breaking schema changes without versioning
Eventual Consistency Accept that read models lag behind the write model Assuming reads are always current after a write
Idempotency / At-Least-Once Process duplicate events safely Missing deduplication in event handlers

Patterns in Detail

1. Event Sourcing Fundamentals — Event Store and Append-Only Log

The event store is the single source of truth. Events are facts — immutable records of things that happened. The event log is append-only: you never update or delete events.

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.
