What happens to a Gang-of-Four pattern when the collaboration crosses a process boundary, and which additional architectural contracts it may require. Covers process-local, boundary, interaction and algorithm patterns; assumptions that need rechecking at a boundary — shared state, clocks, atomicity, ordering and delivery; the transformations (Singleton to leader election, Observer to pub/sub, Iterator to pagination, Mediator to an orchestrator); and the level confusion that treats a design…
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
# Patterns and Distribution ## Purpose Stop a local design's guarantees from being assumed across a network. GoF patterns primarily describe collaborating objects in one address space. Local calls can still partially mutate then throw, block on I/O, or race; a process boundary additionally introduces an independent failure/ambiguity domain, serialization and operational ownership. The patterns whose names survive the crossing are the ones most likely to hide that it stopped holding. ## What a boundary removes This classification is conceptual; Java API references use Java 17. Inspect the target runtime, codec, broker and persistence versions and effective configuration before applying their guarantees. Start with the caller's operation, required effects, loss/recovery tolerance and actual deployment boundary. Reuse existing contracts, tests and operational evidence; ask only about missing facts that change the decision. Keep an adequate local design or remote protocol. A remote read does not need durable progress merely because it crosses a process; a restart-surviving effect may. ```text Inside one process Across a boundary …

How to install
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/gof-patterns-and-distribution@sha256:7396615953fe2e51The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.9ecadfd, 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.
