What it installs

Skills (10)

  • api-gateway-design

    Design API gateways that route, authenticate, rate-limit, and aggregate backend services. Use when building client-facing APIs or managing service boundaries.

  • caching-strategy

    Design multi-layer caching strategies (client, edge, service, database) for performance. Use when optimizing latency or reducing database load.

  • cqrs-design

    Separate command (write) and query (read) models for complex domains. Use when read/write patterns diverge significantly or when audit/consistency requirements demand immutability.

  • data-partitioning

    Design partitioning and sharding strategies for data at scale. Use when single database hits throughput or storage limits.

  • domain-driven-design

    Apply DDD principles to model business domains, design aggregates, and establish clear language across teams. Use when modeling complex business logic or integrating domain experts.

  • event-driven-architecture

    Design systems that communicate through events instead of direct service calls. Use when building loosely-coupled, scalable, and resilient architectures.

  • microservices-patterns

    Apply proven microservices patterns including saga, circuit breaker, bulkhead, and eventual consistency. Use when designing service-to-service communication and handling distributed failures.

  • monolith-assessment

    Evaluate whether to keep, refactor, or break apart a monolithic system. Use when facing scaling or team velocity challenges with monoliths.

  • service-mesh-patterns

    Implement service mesh patterns for observability, resilience, and traffic management. Use when managing complex microservices communication at scale.

  • system-decomposition

    Break complex systems into bounded contexts with DDD. Map business capabilities to service boundaries, define ubiquitous language, assess cohesion/coupling. Use when refactoring monoliths or designing new architectures.

Slash commands (4)

  • /architect-system-design:architect-system

    Design complete system architecture from requirements. Produces C4 diagrams, bounded contexts, and integration specifications.

  • /architect-system-design:decompose-monolith

    Assess monolith and plan migration to services. Provides step-by-step extraction roadmap.

  • /architect-system-design:design-api

    Create API gateway and service contract specifications. Design scalable APIs.

  • /architect-system-design:evaluate-architecture

    Audit existing architecture for resilience and scalability. Produces recommendations.
