projection-patterns
Build read models and projections from event streams. Use when implementing CQRS read sides, building materialized views, or optimizing query performance in event-sourced systems.
Profile →npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill projection-patterns --agent claude-code
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.
# Projection Patterns Comprehensive guide to building projections and read models for event-sourced systems. ## When to Use This Skill - Building CQRS read models - Creating materialized views from events - Optimizing query performance - Implementing real-time dashboards - Building search indexes from events - Aggregating data across streams ## Core Concepts ### 1.

What does the projection-patterns skill do?
Build read models and projections from event streams. Use when implementing CQRS read sides, building materialized views, or optimizing query performance in event-sourced systems.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill projection-patterns --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 wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 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.
