Gemini CLIAbout this skill
A diagnostic skill that refuses microservices in the wrong contexts and recommends a modular monolith instead. Covers the team-size threshold, the deploy-coupling argument, the distributed-systems tax, when DHH's "majestic monolith" is correct, and the "you're not Netflix" rule. Use when the user mentions microservices, splitting our monolith, service-oriented architecture, going micro, "should we split the codebase", or asks how to break up a Rails app. THIS SKILL'S JOB IS TO PUSH BACK before the user spends a year on a migration they will regret.
