Resilience Patterns Skill

Overview

This skill provides guidance on implementing resilience patterns in .NET applications. It covers both synchronous resilience (HTTP clients, service calls) using Polly and asynchronous resilience (message handlers) using Brighter.

Key Principle: Design for failure. Systems should gracefully handle transient faults, prevent cascade failures, and provide meaningful fallback behavior.
