event-driven

event-driven is a skill for Claude Code from Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills. It costs 100 tokens per session (3,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to three related software design patterns: event-driven architecture, event sourcing, and CQRS. Event-driven systems communicate through events, event sourcing stores changes as events, and CQRS separates reading data from changing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing event-based services, event stores, audit trails, projections, separate read and write models, or recovery actions after failed operations.
Why use it?
It helps clarify which pattern solves which problem instead of treating them as one required package. These patterns can support reactive systems, audit histories, and separate read models.

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-driven 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 10d 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-Driven Architecture, Event Sourcing & CQRS

Overview

This skill covers three complementary but independent patterns that are frequently used together:

  1. Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) -- A system design where components communicate through events rather than direct calls.
  2. Event Sourcing -- A persistence pattern where state is stored as a sequence of events rather than as current state.
  3. CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) -- A pattern that separates read and write models.

These patterns can be used independently or combined. Understanding when to use each -- and when to combine them -- is critical.

event-driven is a skill published in the GitHub repository Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 3,312 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
