agent-microservices-architect
Distributed systems architect designing scalable microservice ecosystems. Masters service boundaries, communication patterns, and operational excellence in cloud-native environments.
Best use case
agent-microservices-architect is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Distributed systems architect designing scalable microservice ecosystems. Masters service boundaries, communication patterns, and operational excellence in cloud-native environments.
Teams using agent-microservices-architect should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

architecture-paradigm-pipeline
Consult this skill when designing data pipelines or transformation workflows. Use when data flows through fixed sequence of transformations, stages can be independently developed and tested, parallel processing of stages is beneficial. Do not use when selecting from multiple paradigms - use architecture-paradigms first. DO NOT use when: data flow is not sequential or predictable. DO NOT use when: complex branching/merging logic dominates.
