Idempotency Keys

Agent skill
1 skill

Makes operations safe to repeat so retries and at-least-once delivery don't double-charge or double-create — idempotency by design first (PUT/upsert, conditional writes with version/ETag/If-Match, natural deterministic keys, set-don't-increment) and by key second (client Idempotency-Key header, a dedup table keyed unique on the key that stores request fingerprint + status + response and replays the SAME response, 409 in-progress lock for concurrent duplicates, 422 on key-reuse-with-different-body), plus consumer-side dedup (processed-event-id store / dedup window), the outbox pattern for atomic write+publish, and DB mechanics (ON CONFLICT, SELECT FOR UPDATE / advisory locks). Effectively-once via dedup, because exactly-once delivery is a myth.
