.claude/skills/discover-distributed-systems/# Distributed Systems Skills Discovery Provides automatic access to comprehensive distributed systems skills. ## When This Skill Activates This skill auto-activates when you're working with: - Consensus algorithms (RAFT, Paxos) - CAP theorem, consistency models - CRDTs and eventual consistency - Vector clocks, causality - Replication and partitioning - Distributed locks and leader election - Gossip protocols - Probabilistic data structures ## Available Skills ### Quick Reference The Distributed Systems category contains 17 skills: 1. **cap-theorem** - CAP theorem, consistency vs availability trade-offs 2. **consensus-raft** - RAFT consensus, leader election, log replication 3. **consensus-paxos** - Paxos consensus, Basic/Multi-Paxos 4. **crdt-fundamentals** - Conflict-free Replicated Data Types basics 5. **crdt-types** - Specific CRDT implementations (LWW, OR-Set, RGA) 6. **dotted-version-vectors** - Compact causality, sibling management, optimized vector clocks 7. **interval-tree-clocks** - Dynamic causality, fork/join, scalable tracking 8. **vector-clocks** - Causality tracking, happens-before 9. **logical-clocks** - Lamport clocks, logical time 10. **eventual-consistency** - Consistency levels, quorums, BASE 11. **conflict-resolution** - LWW, multi-value, semantic resolution 12. **replication-strategies** - Primary-backup, multi-primary, chain, quorum 13. **partitioning-sharding** - Hash/range/consistent hashing, rebalancing 14. **distributed-locks** - Redlock, ZooKeeper locks, fencing tokens 15. **leader-election** - Bully, ring, consensus-based election 16. **gossip-protocols** - Epidemic protocols, failure detection 17. **probabilistic-data-structures** - Bloom filters, HyperLogLog, Count-Min Sketch ### Load Full Category Details For complete descriptions and workflows: ```bash cat ~/.claude/skills/distributed-systems/INDEX.md ``` This loads the full Distributed Systems category index with: - Detailed skill descriptions - Usage triggers for each ski
