distributed-systems SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

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

Install it, pinned
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/distributed-systems@v2.0.0

Pins v2.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Distributed systems patterns for locking, resilience, idempotency, and rate limiting. Use when implementing distributed locks, circuit breakers, retry policies, idempotency keys, token bucket rate limiters, or fault tolerance patterns.

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 Patterns

Comprehensive patterns for building reliable distributed systems. Each category has individual rule files in `rules/` loaded on-demand.

## Quick Reference

| Category | Rules | Impact | When to Use |
|----------|-------|--------|-------------|
| [Distributed Locks](#distributed-locks) | 1 | CRITICAL | Fencing tokens, owner validation; Redis/Redlock and Postgres advisory via upstream docs |
| [Resilience](#resilience) | 3 | CRITICAL | Circuit breakers, retry with backoff, bulkhead isolation |
| [Idempotency](#idempotency) | 1 | HIGH | Idempotency keys; dedup and database-backed storage via upstream docs |
| [Rate Limiting](#rate-limiting) | 2 | HIGH | Token bucket, sliding window; SlowAPI integration via upstream docs |
| [Edge Computing](#edge-computing) | 2 | HIGH | Edge workers, V8 isolates, CDN caching, geo-routing |
| [Event-Driven](#event-driven) | 2 | HIGH | Event sourcing, CQRS, transactional outbox, sagas |

**Total: 11 rules across 6 categories.** Removed topics point at first-party sources in [Upstream coverage](#upstream-coverage-do-not-restate); ork-specific scars live in `references/ork-delta.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/distributed-systems@sha256:19f144f8754fa101

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
