microservices-architecture SKILL.md skillA

microservices-architecture from travisjneuman/.claude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add travisjneuman/.claude/microservices-architecture@git:20260930.c8d311d

Pins git:20260930.c8d311d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Microservices architecture patterns and best practices. Use when designing distributed systems, breaking down monoliths, or implementing service communication.

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

# Microservices Architecture

Comprehensive guide for designing and implementing microservices-based systems.

## Microservices Fundamentals

### What are Microservices?

```
MICROSERVICES = Independently deployable services
               that do one thing well

Characteristics:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ✓ Single responsibility                 │
│ ✓ Own their data                        │
│ ✓ Independently deployable              │
│ ✓ Communicate via APIs                  │
│ ✓ Technology agnostic                   │
│ ✓ Owned by small teams                  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### Monolith vs Microservices

```
MONOLITH:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│           Single Application            │
│  ┌──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┐         │
│  │ Users│Orders│ Cart │Search│         │
│  └──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┘         │
│           Single Database               │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

MICROSERVICES:
┌──────┐  ┌──────┐  ┌──────┐  ┌──────┐
│Users │  │Orders│  │ Cart │  │Search│
│ DB   │  │ DB   │  │ DB   │  │ DB   │
└──────┘  └──────┘  └──────┘  └──────┘

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add travisjneuman/.claude/microservices-architecture@sha256:d0a4e25bb89aaa63

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.c8d311d, 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.
