cloud-distributed-systems

cloud-distributed-systems is a skill for Claude Code from vivekkachhadiyatech/skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (226 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide to cloud services and distributed systems, where software runs across multiple machines or locations. It covers scaling, fault tolerance, messaging, and common cloud patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Looking up topics such as serverless functions, unique ID generation, idempotency, infrastructure as code, distributed locks, and cloud messaging.
Why use it?
It helps explain how systems keep working during failures and handle changing amounts of traffic without turning the explanation into a design decision.

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

cloud-distributed-systems 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 6d 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

Cloud & Distributed Systems — reference

Domain knowledge lookup. The full concept set — each with What it is → How it works → Architecture guidance and source diagram — lives in the knowledge doc.

On invocation:

  1. Read ../knowledge/cloud-distributed-systems.md.
  2. Find the concept's ## section (the doc opens with a ## Concept index).
  3. Answer from that section. Do not answer from memory when the doc covers it; the doc is faithful to the ByteByteGo source and flags source anomalies inline.

For a design/creation task in this domain, defer to the matching task skill (see ../README.md).

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.
