Agentic Plugin Marketplace is a collection of reusable plugins, agents, skills, commands, and rules for coding-agent tools including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, and GitHub Copilot. It is for developers assembling agentic workflows across multiple harnesses from shared Markdown sources, and the catalogue entries are examples or subsets of those workflow components.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.00428 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00171 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00086 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00043 |
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 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.

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.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 wshobson/agents (41,247 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 428 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
