design-ship vs distributed-systems

Two General Claude Code skills, side by side. Pick the right skill for your workflow with a side-by-side look at metadata, sample code, and install commands.

Side-by-side

Sample code from each SKILL.md

/ork:design-ship /tmp/handoff-bundle.json            # From local file

# Redis distributed lock with Lua scripts
async with RedisLock(redis_client, "payment:order-123"):
    await process_payment(order_id)

# Circuit breaker for external APIs
@circuit_breaker(failure_threshold=5, recovery_timeout=30)
@retry(max_attempts=3, base_delay=1.0)
async def call_external_api():

# Idempotent API endpoint

When to choose each

design-ship — End-to-end Claude Design handoff to pull request: imports a handoff bundle from claude.ai/design, generates Storybook stories and Playwright tests, runs diff-aware browser verification, and opens a PR with the bundle…

distributed-systems — Distributed systems patterns for locking, resilience, idempotency, and rate limiting. Use when implementing distributed locks, circuit breakers, retry policies, idempotency keys, token bucket rate limiters, or fault…

Both are free to install. If you're unsure, install both — Claude Code skills are isolated by filename and only collide if their trigger phrases overlap (rare). The richest signal is the SKILL.md body itself — open both skill pages and read the first paragraph of each.
