protobuf-architect SKILL.md skillA
protobuf-architect from ralvarez-ai/ralvaskills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ralvarez-ai/ralvaskills/protobuf-architect@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Protocol Buffers (proto3) standards — Buf-style package naming, protovalidate (CEL), buf toolchain for lint/breaking/generation, field-number reservation, well-known types. Language-agnostic schema design. Use when designing or evolving .proto files.
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
# Protocol Buffers Architecture Language-agnostic schema standards. Proto files target **proto3** + `buf` toolchain. Validation uses `protovalidate` (CEL). Code generation is per-language and out of scope here — see the language architect skill for the generated-code idioms (e.g. [go-architect](../../languages/go-architect/SKILL.md) when generating for Go). File-layout, validation, codegen, and breaking-check snippets in [RECIPES.md](RECIPES.md); pinned tool versions in [STACK.md](STACK.md). ## 1. File layout & package naming Buf-style hierarchical packages — `<org>.<product>.<resource>.<version>`. Mirrors the on-disk path. One service or coherent message group per file. Tree + package declaration in [RECIPES.md](RECIPES.md). - **Package = directory path.** `acme/shop/users/v1/` → `package acme.shop.users.v1;`. Enforced by `buf lint`. - **Per-language `option *_package`** declarations live in every file. Set them up-front; don't refactor later (it's a breaking change). - **One `service`** definition per file; supporting messages can live alongside or in sibling files. ## 2. Message design …

How to install
mdr add ralvarez-ai/ralvaskills/protobuf-architect@sha256:26bb8e95c5f23053The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
