event-driven-architect

event-driven-architect is a skill for Claude Code from wyattowalsh/agents. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,684 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture guide for software that communicates through events: durable records saying that something happened. It covers message channels, consumers, retries, duplicate-safe processing, and multi-step workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design event contracts, topics, consumer groups, retry and dead-letter handling, idempotency, transactional outboxes, sagas, and compatible schema versions.
Why use it?
It helps design asynchronous systems that remain reliable when messages are delayed, repeated, reordered, or fail during processing.

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-architect 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/asset_toolkit/__init__.py, scripts/asset_toolkit/_shared.py, scripts/asset_toolkit/common.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Architect

Design asynchronous systems built around durable events, explicit contracts, and operationally safe consumers.

Scope: Event-driven application architecture and reliability patterns. NOT for synchronous API design (api-designer) or batch ETL pipeline design (data-pipeline-architect).

Canonical Vocabulary

Term Definition
event Immutable record of something that happened
command Request to perform an action, not a fact
topic Named stream or channel carrying related events
partition key Value used to preserve order for a subset of events
consumer group Independent set of workers processing the same topic
idempotency key Stable identity used to make repeated processing safe
dead-letter queue Holding area for messages that exceeded normal retries
outbox Transactional pattern for publishing events from database changes
saga Multi-step workflow coordinated through events and compensations
contract version Compatibility marker for event schema evolution

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.
