What tools does it recommend for Protobuf management?

It integrates Buf for linting, breaking change detection, and standardized code generation workflows to maintain high-quality API definitions.

Does it support complex streaming patterns?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for server-streaming, client-streaming, and bi-directional use cases, including flow control and backpressure guidance.

How does this skill handle breaking changes in Protobuf?

It strictly enforces backward compatibility rules, rejecting field renames or ID reuse and recommending field deprecation to ensure service stability.

Can this skill help with service mesh integration?

Yes, it includes standard health check implementations and configuration patterns specifically for service meshes like Istio and Linkerd.
