Design production async messaging — queues, brokers, pub/sub, event streams, and the delivery-guarantee math behind them. Use when introducing a message broker (RabbitMQ / Kafka / SQS / NATS / Redis Streams), choosing queue vs log vs pub/sub, designing idempotent consumers, sizing retries and dead-letter queues, ordering partitions, handling poison messages, or debugging duplicate/lost/out-of-order delivery. Boundary vs api-design — api-design owns the synchronous request/response HTTP contract (REST/GraphQL, idempotency keys, RFC 9457 errors) where the caller waits for a reply; this skill owns the asynchronous fire-and-forget seam after a request returns, where producer and consumer are decoupled in time. Defers the persistent bidirectional socket transport to realtime-websockets and binary east-west RPC to grpc-microservices.
