What Design Patterns does

Design Patterns helps agents choose implementation patterns and abstraction boundaries across Rust, TypeScript/React, and Django/Python. It covers when to use, when to avoid, and trade-offs for each option.

Design Patterns is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Design Patterns comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, anthropic, claude-code, code-review and codex.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Design Patterns

Pattern recommendations tailored to common tech stacks. Every pattern recommendation includes when to use it, when to avoid it, and the trade-offs.

Quick Start

Choose a Pattern

Identify the problem: What design challenge are you solving?
Consider the context: What language? What scale? How often will this change?
Evaluate options: 2-3 candidate patterns with trade-offs
Recommend: The best fit for this specific context (not the "best pattern in general")

The golden rule: Patterns are tools, not goals. Use the simplest pattern that solves the problem. If no pattern fits, a plain function or struct is fine.

Rust Patterns

Newtype Pattern

Wrap a primitive to add type safety and domain meaning.
