microservices-architecture

microservices-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Omar-Obando/qwen-orchestrator. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing systems as microservices, which are separate services that communicate to provide one application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan domain-driven boundaries, event-driven communication, CQRS, sagas, service discovery, API gateways, tracing, versioning, and Kubernetes deployments.
Why use it?
It helps decide service boundaries and coordinate distributed systems where data, requests, and failures span multiple services.

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-architecture 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.

Microservices Architecture Skill — Backend Developer

Overview

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for designing and implementing microservices architectures. It covers domain-driven design, service boundaries, event-driven communication, CQRS, sagas, service discovery, and distributed systems patterns following CMA certification standards.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Designing microservices architecture
  • Defining service boundaries and domains
  • Implementing domain-driven design patterns
  • Creating event-driven communication systems
  • Implementing CQRS pattern
  • Designing sagas for distributed transactions
  • Setting up service discovery
  • Implementing API gateway patterns
  • Designing distributed caching strategies
  • Implementing circuit breakers
  • Setting up distributed tracing
  • Designing service mesh architectures
  • Implementing event sourcing patterns
  • Creating resilient distributed systems
  • Setting up container orchestration (Kubernetes)
  • Implementing API versioning strategies
  • Designing database per service pattern
  • Implementing sidecar patterns
  • Setting up service mesh (Istio, Linkerd)
  • Designing observability for microservices
  • Implementing distributed logging
  • Setting up distributed tracing (Jaeger, Zipkin)
  • Designing fault tolerance patterns

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • Writing application business logic (use domain-driven skill)
  • Designing database schemas (use database-design skill)
  • Writing API endpoint specifications (use api-design skill)
  • Performing security audits (use security-auditor skill)

│  1. Codebase: One codebase tracked in revision control      │

│  11. Logs: Treat logs as event streams                      │

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.

microservices-architecture is a skill published in the GitHub repository Omar-Obando/qwen-orchestrator (49 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 2,544 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
