message-ipc

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies and standardizes communication between Node.js parent and child processes, making inter-process communication as straightforward as function calls.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Request/Response Pattern: Enables seamless request-response interactions between processes.
• Error Propagation: Transmits errors and exceptions across process boundaries.
• Timeout and Abort: Provides mechanisms for controlling request duration and cancellation.
• Use Case: In a microservices architecture where one service spawns another as a child process, this Skill allows the parent to send commands to the child and receive structured results, or vice-versa.

Quick Start

Use the message-ipc skill to create a parent process that sends a 'compute' action with value 42 to a child process and logs the result.
