Next come Nodejs Backend Patterns and Large Codebase Knowledge Base Builder.
Which microservices skills are official?
34 of the 303 microservices skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: Hybrid Cloud Test Gen, Vss Deploy Detection Tracking 2D, Temporal Developer, Azure Mgmt Apimanagement Py, AWS Step Functions and 29 more.
How are these skills ranked?
By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
