Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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 (

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill grpc-protocol --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
