distributed-systems vs langchain-eval-harness

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

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

# Circuit breaker for external APIs

@retry(max_attempts=3, base_delay=1.0)
async def call_external_api():

When to choose each

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…

langchain-eval-harness — Build reproducible evaluation pipelines for LangChain 1.0 chains and LangGraph 1.0 agents — golden datasets, LangSmith evaluate(), ragas RAG metrics, deepeval LLM-as-judge, agent trajectory analysis, and CI gating on…

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.
