Implement Command Query Responsibility Segregation for scalable architectures. Use when separating read and write models, optimizing query performance, or building event-sourced systems.

General

What this skill does


# CQRS Implementation

Comprehensive guide to implementing CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) patterns.

## When to Use This Skill

- Separating read and write concerns
- Scaling reads independently from writes
- Building event-sourced systems
- Optimizing complex query scenarios
- Different read/write data models needed
- High-performance reporting requirements

## Core Concepts

### 1. CQRS Architecture

### 2. Key Components

| Component | Responsibility |
|-----------|---------------|
| **Command** | Intent to change state |
| **Command Handler** | Validates and executes commands |
| **Event** | Record of state change |
| **Query** | Request for data |
| **Query Handler** | Retrieves data from read model |
| **Projector** | Updates read model from events |

## Templates

### Template 1: Command Infrastructure

```python
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from dataclasses import dataclass

from datetime import datetime

# Concrete commands
@dataclass
