Protobuf Developer

This skill provides best practices and rules for developing Protocol Buffer schemas (proto3).

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

• Defining new gRPC services and message types.
• Modifying existing .proto files.
• Refactoring message structures.
• Ensuring backwards compatibility for evolving APIs.
• Configuring Protobuf management, linting, and code generation using Buf.

Google AIP References

The following references are based on Google API Improvement Proposals (AIPs). Use these when designing resource-oriented APIs.

Important: When implementing these patterns, you must modify the protobuf package name and resource type domains to match the current application context (e.g., use package imrenagi.com.v1; instead of package google.example.v1;).
