cross-service-query-design SKILL.md skillA

cross-service-query-design 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/cross-service-query-design@git:20261001.2e77f4f

Pins git:20261001.2e77f4f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Choose API composition or a read model when a query joins data owned by multiple services, a list needs cross-service filtering or ordering, or projection lag changes what a consumer may conclude. Define freshness, completeness, authorization, query bounds and rebuild. Excludes fan-out mechanics, event-store adoption and CDC operations.

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

# Cross-Service Query Design

Choose a read path that can answer the consumer's actual question under change and failure.
A joined response is a new contract: successful calls to every owner do not establish a
common snapshot, an exact global page, or permission to return every field.

This skill owns the choice and contract of the cross-service query. Keep an adequate
existing API, local query or reporting solution when it satisfies that contract. It does
not require extracting services or replacing mutable state with an event store.

## Discover the question before choosing the mechanism

Inspect the endpoint and its consumers, domain rules, API/event contracts, ADRs, query plans,
traces, access policies, incidents and recovery runbooks. Capture only evidence that changes
the choice:

- **Purpose and authority:** display, search, reconciliation, export or a decision authorizing
  an effect? Who owns each fact and who may change it? Can a missing/stale fact change eligibility?
- **Query semantics:** predicates, join keys and cardinality, null/absence meaning, duplicates,
  sort/ties, totals, pagination and expected data growth. Which owner can identify candidates
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/cross-service-query-design@sha256:9ebd061758b04a1c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.2e77f4f, 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.
