design-patterns-implementation

design-patterns-implementation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tmcfarlane/oh-my-cursor. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,847 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using common software design patterns, such as Factory, Observer, Strategy, and Singleton. Design patterns are recurring ways to structure code around common problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when refactoring architecture, separating components, building extensible plugin systems, applying SOLID principles, or reviewing design choices.
Why use it?
It helps organize code so components can be extended, tested, and changed with fewer dependencies. It also provides a shared vocabulary for architectural decisions and code reviews.

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-patterns-implementation 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 1mo 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 Patterns Implementation

Overview

Apply proven design patterns to create maintainable, extensible, and testable code architectures.

When to Use

  • Solving common architectural problems
  • Making code more maintainable and testable
  • Implementing extensible plugin systems
  • Decoupling components
  • Following SOLID principles
  • Code reviews identifying architectural issues

Common Design Patterns

1. Singleton Pattern

Ensure a class has only one instance with global access.

class DatabaseConnection {
  private static instance: DatabaseConnection;
  private connection: any;

  private constructor() {
    this.connection = this.createConnection();
  }

  public static getInstance(): DatabaseConnection {
    if (!DatabaseConnection.instance) {
      DatabaseConnection.instance = new DatabaseConnection();
    }
    return DatabaseConnection.instance;
  }

  private createConnection() {
    return { /* connection logic */ };
  }
}

// Usage
const db1 = DatabaseConnection.getInstance();
const db2 = DatabaseConnection.getInstance();
// db1 === db2 (same instance)

2. Factory Pattern

Create objects without specifying exact classes.

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class PaymentProcessor(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def process_payment(self, amount: float) -> bool:
        pass

class StripeProcessor(PaymentProcessor):
    def process_payment(self, amount: float) -> bool:
        # Stripe-specific logic
        return True

class PayPalProcessor(PaymentProcessor):
    def process_payment(self, amount: float) -> bool:
        # PayPal-specific logic
        return True

class PaymentProcessorFactory:
    @staticmethod
    def create_processor(processor_type: str) -> PaymentProcessor:
        if processor_type == 'stripe':
            return StripeProcessor()
        elif processor_type == 'paypal':
            return PayPalProcessor()
        else:
            raise ValueError(f'Unknown processor: {processor_type}')

# Usage
processor = PaymentProcessorFactory.create_processor('stripe')
processor.process_payment(100.00)

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-patterns-implementation is a skill published in the GitHub repository tmcfarlane/oh-my-cursor (109 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,847 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
