Couchbase Distributed Transactions

A skill for designing and implementing multi-document ACID transactions in Couchbase. Goes deeper than the overview in couchbase-app-integration/references/transactions-app-side.md.

Distinct from:

• couchbase-app-integration — general SDK patterns; has a transactions overview but not the depth needed for production transaction design
• couchbase-mcp — the cb_transaction_run tool for running transactions via the MCP server

When this skill applies

• "How do I atomically update multiple documents?"
• "How do transactions work under the hood?"
• "My transaction is retrying — why?"
• "How do I handle a transaction conflict?"
• "What happens if the client crashes mid-transaction?"
• "Transactions are slow — how do I tune them?"
• "What are ATRs and why does my bucket have them?"
• "How do I model data to minimize transaction use?"
