Idempotent API operations with idempotency keys, Redis caching, DB constraints. Use for payment systems, webhook retries, safe retries, or encountering duplicate processing, race conditions, key expiry errors.

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

# Idempotency Handling

Ensure operations produce identical results regardless of execution count.

## Idempotency Key Pattern

```javascript
const redis = require('redis');
const client = redis.createClient();

async function idempotencyMiddleware(req, res, next) {
  const key = req.headers['idempotency-key'];
  if (!key) return next();

  const cached = await client.get(`idempotency:${key}`);
  if (cached) {
    const { status, body } = JSON.parse(cached);
    return res.status(status).json(body);
  }

  // Store original send
  const originalSend = res.json.bind(res);
  res.json = async (body) => {
    await client.setEx(
      `idempotency:${key}`,
      86400, // 24 hours
      JSON.stringify({ status: res.statusCode, body })
    );
    return originalSend(body);
  };

  next();
}
```

## Database-Backed Idempotency

```sql
CREATE TABLE idempotency_keys (
  key VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY,
  request_hash VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
  response JSONB,
  status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'processing',
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
  expires_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW() + INTERVAL '24 hours'
);

CREATE INDEX idx_idempotency_expires ON idempotency_keys(expires_at);
```

```javascript

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add secondsky/claude-skills/idempotency-handling@sha256:16519969262ccba3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260402.75421fa, 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.
