Load Bearing is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the identity-access sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/load-bearing/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user is designing or restructuring a system, choosing between monolith and microservices, picking a tech stack or database, defining APIs or module boundaries, deciding how to realize non-functional requirements (scale, availability, security), writing an ADR, or about to build something structurally non-trivial. Triggers on "design the architecture", "what stack should I use", "monolith or microservices", "how should I structure this", "design the data model / API", "system design".
The Load Bearing Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 120,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
