microservices-patterns

microservices-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RudyCity/superagent. It costs 38 tokens per session (428 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of microservices-patterns, MIT.

A guide to splitting a large application into microservices, which are smaller services that communicate over a network. It covers service boundaries, APIs, events, data ownership, and resilience.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when breaking up a monolith, designing service contracts, coordinating distributed data, or building event-driven systems.
Why use it?
It helps teams manage the complexity of distributed systems and reduce the risk of tightly connecting unrelated parts of an application.

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-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 3d 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

Microservices Patterns

Master microservices architecture patterns including service boundaries, inter-service communication, data management, and resilience patterns for building distributed systems.

When to Use This Skill

  • Decomposing monoliths into microservices
  • Designing service boundaries and contracts
  • Implementing inter-service communication
  • Managing distributed data and transactions
  • Building resilient distributed systems
  • Implementing service discovery and load balancing
  • Designing event-driven architectures

Core Concepts

1. Service Decomposition Strategies

By Business Capability

  • Organize services around business functions
  • Each service owns its domain
  • Example: OrderService, PaymentService, InventoryService

By Subdomain (DDD)

  • Core domain, supporting subdomains
  • Bounded contexts map to services
  • Clear ownership and responsibility

Strangler Fig Pattern

  • Gradually extract from monolith
  • New functionality as microservices
  • Proxy routes to old/new systems

2. Communication Patterns

Synchronous (Request/Response)

  • REST APIs
  • gRPC
  • GraphQL

Asynchronous (Events/Messages)

  • Event streaming (Kafka)
  • Message queues (RabbitMQ, SQS)
  • Pub/Sub patterns

3. Data Management

Database Per Service

  • Each service owns its data
  • No shared databases
  • Loose coupling

Saga Pattern

  • Distributed transactions
  • Compensating actions
  • Eventual consistency

4. Resilience Patterns

Circuit Breaker

  • Fail fast on repeated errors
  • Prevent cascade failures

Retry with Backoff

  • Transient fault handling
  • Exponential backoff

Bulkhead

  • Isolate resources
  • Limit impact of failures

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

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.

microservices-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository RudyCity/superagent (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 428 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to microservices-patterns, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
