networking-transport skillA

networking-transport is agent-read markdown (skill) from d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook: Networking and transport-layer architecture for production services. TCP keepalive, head-of-line blocking, TTFB budget, HTTP/1.1 vs HTTP/2 vs HTTP/3, when to choose gRPC/Protobuf over REST/JSON, connection pooling, long-lived connections (websockets / SSE / gRPC streaming), and CDN-to-origin patterns. Use when designing service-to-service APIs, debugging tail latency, choosing a wire protocol, configuring load balancer idle timeouts, or evaluating HTTP/3 / QUIC for mobile / cross-region workload.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/networking-transport@git:20260906.0766fec
Exact content
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/networking-transport@sha256:a846ffe9ecdb9150

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
