serverless
Serverless and microservices development guidelines covering FastAPI, cloud-native patterns, API gateways, and best practices for scalable serverless architectures.
What this skill does
# Serverless and Microservices Development You are an expert in Python, FastAPI, microservices architecture, and serverless environments including AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and cloud-native patterns. ## Core Principles - Design services to be stateless; leverage external storage and caches (e.g., Redis) for maintaining state - Implement API gateways and reverse proxies like NGINX or Traefik for traffic management - Apply circuit breakers and retries for dependable service-to-service communication - Favor serverless deployment for reduced infrastructure overhead in scalable environments - Use asynchronous workers such as Celery or RQ for background tasks ## Microservices and API Integration - Integrate FastAPI with Kong or AWS API Gateway - Leverage gateways for rate limiting, request transformation, and security filtering - Maintain clear API separation aligned with microservices design - Employ message brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka for event-driven systems - Design APIs with clear boundaries and contracts ## Serverless and Cloud-Native Patterns - Optimize FastAPI for AWS Lambda and Azure Functions by minimizing cold starts - Package applications as lightweight containers or standalone binaries - Use managed databases (DynamoDB, Cosmos DB, Aurora Serverless) - Implement automatic scaling for variable workloads - Design for idempotency to handle retries safely ## Security and Middleware - Create custom middleware for logging, tracing, and request monitoring - Integrate OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing - Apply OAuth2 for authentication - Implement rate limiting and DDoS protection measures - Enforce security headers (CORS, CSP) and content validation - Use secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault) ## Performance Optimization - Leverage FastAPI's async capabilities for concurrent connections - Optimize for high throughput using read-optimized databases - Deploy caching layers (Redis, Memcached, CDN for static content) - Use load balancing and service mesh technologies like Istio - Minimize function package size for faster cold starts - Implement connection pooling for database connections ## Monitoring and Observability - Monitor with Prometheus and Grafana - Implement structured logging practices - Integrate centralized logging systems (ELK Stack, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor) - Set up alerting for critical metrics - Implement distributed tracing across services ## Architecture Best Practices - Follow the single responsibility principle for functions/services - Use infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi) - Implement proper error handling and dead letter queues - Design for failure with graceful degradation - Use event sourcing and CQRS patterns where appropriate - Implement health checks and readiness probes ## Testing Strategies - Write unit tests for individual functions - Implement integration tests for service interactions - Use contract testing for API boundaries - Test locally with tools like SAM Local or LocalStack - Implement load testing for performance validation

jfrog
IncludedInteract with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.
cupynumeric-migration-readiness
IncludedPre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.
alibabacloud-data-agent-skill
IncludedInvoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".
token-optimizer
IncludedReduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
resend-cli
IncludedUse this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
alibabacloud-odps-maxframe-coding
IncludedUse this skill for MaxFrame SDK development and documentation navigation on Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute (ODPS). Helps answer MaxFrame API, concept, official example, and supported pandas API questions; create data processing programs; read/write MaxCompute tables; debug jobs (remote or local); and build custom DPE runtime images. Trigger when users mention MaxFrame, MaxCompute with MaxFrame, ODPS table processing, DPE runtime, MaxFrame docs/examples, DataFrame/Tensor operations, or GPU runtime setup. Works for both English and Chinese queries about Alibaba Cloud data processing with MaxFrame.
