principle-concurrency SKILL.md skillA

principle-concurrency from lugassawan/swe-workbench is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add lugassawan/swe-workbench/principle-concurrency@git:20260828.71a6399

Pins git:20260828.71a6399 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Concurrency principles — race conditions, livelock, backpressure, lock-free primitives, choosing between mutex vs channel vs actor vs semaphore vs CAS. Auto-load when designing concurrent code, fixing a deadlock, choosing a synchronization primitive, or reasoning about goroutine/thread/task lifetimes.

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

# Concurrency

Concurrency is a correctness hazard first, a performance tool second. Prove correctness before optimizing.

## Failure Modes

**Race condition** — two goroutines/threads read and write shared state without synchronization; result is non-deterministic. **Fix:** mutex, channel, or atomic.

**Deadlock** — two or more tasks each hold a lock the other needs; all block forever. **Fix:** consistent lock-acquisition ordering; prefer higher-level primitives.

**Livelock** — tasks keep changing state in response to each other but make no progress; common in retry loops that back off identically. **Fix:** add jitter; use backpressure signals.

**Starvation** — a low-priority task never gets scheduled because high-priority tasks monopolize a resource. **Fix:** fair queues; priority inheritance; rate limits.

**Lost wakeup** — a condition-variable signal fires before the waiter starts waiting; waiter sleeps forever. **Fix:** always check the predicate in a loop; use atomic flags.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lugassawan/swe-workbench/principle-concurrency@sha256:a8b2cf28dd761431

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.71a6399, 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.
