# Microservices Patterns

Draw the lines between services before the coupling sets in

## What this does

You are splitting a system into separate services, or already have and it's tangled. This helps decide the boundaries, how services talk to each other through events, and what keeps things standing when one part fails. Reach for it when designing a distributed system or pulling a monolith apart.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Decide where one service ends and the next begins
- Break a monolith into pieces
- Set up events between services

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Microservices Patterns safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Microservices Patterns and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/microservices-patterns.

### How do I install Microservices Patterns?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/microservices-patterns on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/backend-development/skills/microservices-patterns. Install from that link, not the branch.
