load-balancing
From the author
This skill should be used when the user adds a "load balancer", asks about "L4 vs L7" (transport vs application layer), picks a balancing algorithm ("round robin", "least connections", "weighted", "IP hash"), configures "health checks", needs "sticky sessions" / "session affinity", adds a "reverse proxy", does "SSL/TLS termination", spreads "traffic distribution" across an "autoscaling group", or wants a stateless web tier behind a single entry point. Use it whenever a design has more than one server behind one address, or a single box is the entry-point bottleneck or SPOF, even if the user doesn't say "load balancer".

- load-balancing-patternsancoleman/ai-design-componentsWhen distributing traffic across multiple servers or regions, use this skill to select and configure the appropriate load balancing solution (L4/L7, cloud-managed, self-managed, or Kubernetes ingress) with proper health checks and session management.DevOps★ 525
- resilience-failureproyecto26/system-design-skillsThis skill should be used when the user asks about "fault tolerance", "resilience", a "circuit breaker", "graceful degradation", "retry storm" or "thundering herd on recovery", "exponential backoff with jitter", "timeout", "bulkhead", a "single point of failure" (SPOF), "failover", or "rate limiting" (token bucket / leaky bucket / sliding window). Use it whenever a design must keep working through node crashes, slow dependencies, traffic spikes, or partial outages — i.e. any time the answer to "what happens when this breaks?" is missing, even if the user doesn't say "resilience".Design★ 96

- cachingnahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcherDecide what to cache, at which layer, for how long, and how it gets invalidated — before any cache is added. Use when someone proposes caching to make a read path faster, when stale or cross-user data is suspected, when adding a TTL or a Redis/CDN layer, or when reviewing a change that introduces one. Not for fixing a slow query or an N+1 (do that first — a cache over a bad query hides it), and not for HTTP header tuning with no server-side store.Other★ 59
- messaging-streamingproyecto26/system-design-skillsThis skill should be used when the user designs a "message queue", reaches for "Kafka", "RabbitMQ", "SQS", "Kinesis", "pub/sub", or "event-driven" architecture, asks about "async processing", "background jobs", "stream processing", or wrestles with "exactly-once vs at-least-once", "delivery guarantees", "message ordering", "duplicate handling / dedup", "dead letter queue", "backpressure", "saga orchestration", or "durable workflow". Use it whenever a slow or spiky operation should move off the request path, or two services must be decoupled, even if the user doesn't say "queue".Planning★ 96
- api-designproyecto26/system-design-skillsThis skill should be used when the user needs to "design the API", do "endpoint design", pin down a "request/response shape", choose a "pagination" strategy (cursor vs offset), add an "idempotency key" to a write, plan "API versioning", an "error contract", or pick between "REST vs gRPC vs GraphQL" or "WebSocket vs polling". Use it whenever a design has reached the interface — the concrete request, response, primary access path, and how clients page, retry, and version — even if the user only said "the boxes talk to each other".Design★ 96
