Choosing facts, asynchronous commands or request/response across services; then designing choreography/orchestration, payload authority, evolution horizon and consumer runtime. Use when a broker masks synchronous outcome dependence, workflows are unreconstructable, consumers read back every event, or publish and database commit form a dual write. Delivery, idempotency, ordering, outbox mechanics and schema evolution remain in their owning skills.

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

# Event Driven Architecture

## Purpose

Decide whether two components should exchange a **fact** or a **call**. An event is an
immutable observation about something that happened in the publisher's domain
(`OrderPlaced`); a command is an instruction to a named recipient with an expected outcome
(`ShipOrder`); request/response can carry a command or a query and returns an outcome. An
asynchronous command can return outcome later through status, callback or event. This
is a coupling decision, not a technology one, and the honest answer is often
request/response. A broker can carry request/reply, but it retains the outcome dependency
and adds transport, correlation, timeout and reply-recovery costs that need justification.

The failure this prevents is the distributed monolith: services that talk only over a broker
yet cannot be released independently, because one team's event is another team's function
call in disguise. The second is the flow that exists nowhere — every step is a handler,
the sequence is emergent, and answering "why did this order never ship" means reconstructing
it from logs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/event-driven-architecture@sha256:ce48660980bcbb6e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c769bd8, 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.
