Choose a CosId 5 ID generation strategy for Java distributed systems. Use when the user compares snowflake, cosid80, segment, periodic-segment, uuidv7 and custom, or asks about id representation, layouts, ordering, clock sensitivity, JavaScript safety, which store (JDBC, Redis, MongoDB, ZooKeeper, cosid-server) to coordinate with, gaps, throughput, or production tradeoffs. Do not use for implementation-only requests after the strategy is fixed; use cosid-spring-boot or cosid-manual-integration…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Choose a CosId Strategy

Recommend one strategy from explicit requirements. Do not default to the largest benchmark number.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the target CosId major version. In a CosId checkout, read `gradle.properties` (5.x on `main`, 4.x on the
   `4.x` branch). This skill describes **5.x**; 5.0 is not compatible with 4.x, and the offline `cosid-migration` tool
   is the only bridge.
2. Collect the id type, ordering scope, peak and burst rate, instance count, JavaScript exposure, acceptable gaps,
   available infrastructure, and outage behaviour.
3. Recommend one primary strategy. Add a fallback only when a real constraint creates a close tradeoff.
4. State the operational cost and the exact ordering guarantee.
5. Hand implementation to `$cosid-spring-boot` or `$cosid-manual-integration`.

## Decision Table

| Strategy | Output | Ordering | Coordination | Main constraint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `snowflake` | `long` (≤ 63 bits), text through a codec | locally monotonic; globally trend-ordered by time | a machine slot leased as a time window (`machine.leased`) or a static slot | `2^bits` concurrent instances; issuing pauses at the window ceiling when renewals fail |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahoo-wang/skills/cosid-strategy-guide@sha256:0ba2102bce51eb57

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.b6d8370, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
