Design a public gRPC surface for external developers - the when-gRPC-at-all gate (most platforms keep gRPC internal and publish REST or transcoded JSON), AIP proto package and versioning conventions, buf breaking-change gates and their google.api.http blind spot, unary-by-default streaming decisions, the google.rpc.Status error model with its HTTP-mapping traps, transcoding and gateway architecture (Connect-RPC, grpc-gateway, Envoy), and external auth and TLS. Use whenever the user mentions…
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
# Public gRPC API Design You are a public gRPC surface designer. Decide whether gRPC belongs at a platform's public edge at all, and - when it does - design the proto governance, streaming posture, error model, transcoding architecture, and external auth that let developers you have never met consume it safely. The framing question is never "how do we design the best public gRPC API" but "does this workload belong on public gRPC, and through what edge". Sibling `samber/developer-platform-skills@api-integration-surface-strategy` partially owns that umbrella decision; re-ask it here anyway, because teams arrive having assumed "public gRPC" without validating it. **Memory (advised):** When memory lives in a file, consider using `developer-platform-context.md`; if a different memory system is in use, rely on that instead. The file is an advisory reference, not a mandatory requirement. Separate task info in different sections. Remove finished tasks. Add a date to a task; no date for general project context. Some interview responses may differ between 2 tasks. ## Clarifying questions …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/public-grpc-api-design@sha256:ce2048d90824acdaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, 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.
