Design and implement event stores for event-sourced systems

event-store-design is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for designing and implementing event stores for event-sourced applications. In an event-sourced system, changes to an entity are recorded as a sequence of events instead of overwriting its current state, and the event store is where that sequence lives. The skill is a comprehensive guide to the architecture of an event store, covering how events are stored and retrieved efficiently, how to set up schemas for them, and how to plan for scaling as the number of events grows. It helps with choosing between event store technologies and with implementing a custom store when existing options do not fit. Its uses include designing the event sourcing infrastructure for a system, optimizing how events are stored and read back, and working out how a store will scale. Event stores are closely tied to read models and to patterns such as CQRS, so the design choices here affect the rest of the application. The skill is for engineers who have decided on event sourcing and need to build the storage layer carefully. It is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository.
