microservices-patterns — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited microservices-patterns (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Service decomposition, communication, resilience, and orchestration patterns.
| Pattern | Description | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Domain-Driven | Align services with bounded contexts | Complex business domains |
| Data-Ownership | Service owns its data store | Data isolation required |
| Team-Aligned | One service per team | Large organizations |

Use async for: event propagation, eventual consistency, load leveling.
\\\typescript // Example with opossum const breaker = new CircuitBreaker(fetchUserProfile, { timeout: 3000, errorThresholdPercentage: 50, resetTimeout: 30000, }); \\\
\\\typescript async function retryWithBackoff(fn, maxRetries = 3) { for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) { try { return await fn(); } catch (e) { await sleep(Math.pow(2, i) * 1000); } } throw new Error('Max retries exceeded'); } \\\
| Pattern | Consistency | Complexity | Use When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saga (orchestration) | Eventual | High | Complex multi-service transactions |
| Saga (choreography) | Eventual | Medium | Simple event chains |
| Event sourcing | Eventual | High | Audit trail, time travel |
| Shared database | Strong | Low | Anti-pattern, avoid |
Tools: Kong, AWS API Gateway, Envoy, NGINX.
Responsibilities: routing, auth, rate limiting, request transformation, load balancing.
