gRPC Protocol Skill

Expert skill for gRPC protocol implementation, service definition, and debugging across multiple languages.

Capabilities

Service Definition: Generate gRPC service definitions and Protocol Buffer schemas
Code Generation: Generate client and server stubs for multiple languages
Streaming Debugging: Debug unary, client-streaming, server-streaming, and bidirectional streaming
gRPC-Web Compatibility: Analyze and configure gRPC-web for browser clients
Load Balancing: Configure gRPC-specific load balancing strategies
Interceptors: Implement client and server interceptors for cross-cutting concerns
Testing: Test gRPC services with grpcurl and other debugging tools
Performance Optimization: Optimize gRPC performance including connection pooling and compression

Tools and Dependencies

protoc - Protocol Buffer compiler
grpcurl - Command-line gRPC client
grpc-web - gRPC for browser clients
buf - Modern Protocol Buffer tooling
evans - Interactive gRPC client

Target Processes

realtime-messaging-system.js (gRPC streaming)
custom-protocol-design.js (gRPC-based protocols)
layer7-load-balancer.js (gRPC routing)

Usage Examples

Service Definition

service Greeter {
  rpc SayHello (HelloRequest) returns (HelloReply);
  rpc SayHelloStream (HelloRequest) returns (stream HelloReply);
}

Testing with grpcurl

grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 list
grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"name": "World"}' localhost:50051 greeter.Greeter/SayHello

Reflection Debugging

grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 describe greeter.Greeter

Quality Gates

Protocol Buffer schema validation
Service reflection verification
Streaming flow control testing
Error handling validation
Performance benchmarking
