# 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
