system-design

100 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (GitHub) · design · 36 stars · scanned at commit 1691932

Use when designing a system or service before implementation. Produces a design covering data model, API surface, failure modes, scaling limits, and the trade-offs that were actually decided. Trigger on "design a system for", "will this hold at 10x traffic", "monolith or microservices". Do not use for recording a decision already made — see the architecture-decisions skill; for cloud network and account layout, see the cloud-architecture skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'system-design' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'system-design' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named system-design already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/development/system-design' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/development/system-design' ~/.agents/skills/'system-design' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'system-design' ~/.claude/skills/'system-design' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
