implement-circuit-breaker

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to protecting services from cascading failures by introducing circuit breakers around unreliable dependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Stateful protection: Open, Half-Open, and Closed states with configurable timeouts and thresholds.
• Configurable recovery: Tailor intervals, max in-flight requests, and failure thresholds to match dependency behavior.
• • Use Case: Safeguard external APIs (payments, data fetchers) and cache layers from latency spikes.
• Observability & fallbacks: Emit metrics and implement graceful degradation when dependencies are unhealthy.
• Use Case: Maintain responsive UX during partial outages.

Quick Start

Wrap your HTTP client calls with a circuit breaker using a configurable pattern to enable fast failure and recovery.
