distributed-systems SKILL.md skillA

distributed-systems from robsonkades/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/distributed-systems@git:20261016.c769bd8

Pins git:20261016.c769bd8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Triage and routing entry point for cross-process Java systems. Classifies design questions and production symptoms, establishes boundary and fault assumptions, then selects the specialist skill for delivery, consistency, time, overload, partitioning, messaging, coordination, recovery or observability. Use when the next technical owner is unclear; it deliberately does not duplicate specialist guidance.

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

# Distributed Systems

## Purpose

Classify a cross-process design question or symptom when its owner is unclear. Use the available
evidence and only the questions that separate the candidates, then hand off to the skill that
owns the decision. An already established question can go directly to its owner.

The failure this prevents is the answer given at the wrong altitude — debating retry policy for
an operation nobody has established is idempotent, tuning a consumer whose real problem is that
the partition key was wrong, or adding a distributed lock to a system that needed a conditional
write. In a distributed system the expensive mistakes are made at design time and discovered at
3am, so the routing matters more here than the depth.

## Workflow

This router has no Java language minimum. Before a specialist implementation, inspect the
project runtime/toolchain, resolved clients/frameworks and deployed broker/store versions;
the specialist's compatibility contract applies. Routing does not authorize upgrades.

Reuse the request, repository, incident packet and prior decisions before asking for context.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/distributed-systems@sha256:80f423845c48cea9

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.
