domain-cloud-native — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
A domain skill that injects cloud-native architecture rules into Rust projects, covering health endpoints, graceful exits, and stateless design.
npx skills add actionbook/rust-skills --skill domain-cloud-native -a claude-codeWhat domain-cloud-native does
The skill provides architectural constraints for building cloud-native Rust applications. It guides the coding agent toward 12-factor application standards: reading configuration from environment variables via config or figment, offloading state to external databases, and producing lean binaries.
The guidelines focus on operational resilience. They specify patterns for Axum and Tokio to handle SIGTERM signals properly, drain active connections, and expose distinct /health and /ready endpoints. Distributed tracing relies on tracing and opentelemetry, while service-to-service communication points to tonic.
Because this skill is marked with user-invocable: false, developers do not call it with a slash command. It triggers automatically when your prompt mentions Kubernetes, containers, or gRPC services. Applying these constraints to simple command-line tools will add unnecessary boilerplate.
What it helps with
- implement graceful shutdown using Tokio signal handling in Axum
- expose dedicated liveness and readiness endpoints for container health
- wire distributed tracing across services with OpenTelemetry and tracing
- structure a stateless Rust service storing persistent data in Redis or SQL
Example prompts for the agent
- Add a graceful shutdown handler for SIGTERM to our Axum HTTP server
- Create health and readiness endpoints that verify database connectivity
- Set up OpenTelemetry span export for our tonic microservice
