Concurrency safety patterns for distributed pueue + moon + systemd-run job pipelines.

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 Job Safety

Patterns and anti-patterns for concurrent job management with pueue + moon + systemd-run, learned from production failures in distributed data pipeline orchestration.

**Scope**: Universal principles for any pueue workflow with concurrent parameterized jobs. Examples use illustrative names but the principles apply to any domain.

**Prerequisite skills**: `devops-tools:pueue-job-orchestration`, `itp:bootstrap-monorepo` (moon tasks + proto toolchains)

---

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

## The Nine Invariants

Non-negotiable rules for concurrent job safety. Violating any one causes silent data corruption or job failure.

Full formal specifications: [references/concurrency-invariants.md](./references/concurrency-invariants.md)

### 1. Filename Uniqueness by ALL Job Parameters

Every file path shared between concurrent jobs MUST include ALL parameters that differentiate those jobs.

```
WRONG:  {symbol}_{start}_{end}.json                    # Two thresholds collide

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/distributed-job-safety@sha256:8b215e27cdb44d2e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.b542227, 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.
