SKILL.md
gRPC Protocol Skill
Expert skill for gRPC protocol implementation, service definition, and debugging across multiple languages.
Capabilities
- Service Definition: Generate gRPC service definitions and Protocol Buffer schemas
- Code Generation: Generate client and server stubs for multiple languages
- Streaming Debugging: Debug unary, client-streaming, server-streaming, and bidirectional streaming
- gRPC-Web Compatibility: Analyze and configure gRPC-web for browser clients
- Load Balancing: Configure gRPC-specific load balancing strategies
- Interceptors: Implement client and server interceptors for cross-cutting concerns
- Testing: Test gRPC services with grpcurl and other debugging tools
- Performance Optimization: Optimize gRPC performance including connection pooling and compression
Tools and Dependencies
protoc- Protocol Buffer compilergrpcurl- Command-line gRPC clientgrpc-web- gRPC for browser clientsbuf- Modern Protocol Buffer toolingevans- Interactive gRPC client
Target Processes
- realtime-messaging-system.js (gRPC streaming)
- custom-protocol-design.js (gRPC-based protocols)
- layer7-load-balancer.js (gRPC routing)
Usage Examples
Service Definition
service Greeter {
rpc SayHello (HelloRequest) returns (HelloReply);
rpc SayHelloStream (HelloRequest) returns (stream HelloReply);
}
Testing with grpcurl
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 list
grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"name": "World"}' localhost:50051 greeter.Greeter/SayHello
Reflection Debugging
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 describe greeter.Greeter
Quality Gates
- Protocol Buffer schema validation
- Service reflection verification
- Streaming flow control testing
- Error handling validation
- Performance benchmarking
