This Skill helps you create, validate, and safely evolve Protocol Buffer schemas so you avoid breaking client compatibility and reduce time spent on buf lint/breaking/format issues.
Ask the protobuf skill to help you update an existing API by adding a new field with correct numbering and protovalidate constraints, then validate it by running buf format and buf lint and checking compatibility with buf breaking.

To prevent breaking changes in a protobuf schema, reserve removed fields and enums, avoid wire-breaking edits, and run buf breaking checks against a known baseline. This verifies compatibility and prevents incompatible schema evolution.
Add protovalidate constraints directly to your protobuf fields, including oneof required patterns, to make the schema the single source of truth for runtime correctness. This enforces validation without needing separate manual checks.
The standard buf workflow for validating .proto files involves running buf format, buf lint, and buf breaking checks after changes. This sequence keeps schema modifications safe, consistent, and reviewable before generation.
Configure buf.yaml and buf.gen.yaml to define module dependencies and generation plugins for gRPC and Connect services. This setup enables proper buf linting, formatting, and code generation workflows for your protobuf APIs.
Follow consistent file structure, naming conventions, and field numbering rules during protobuf design to maintain API reliability. Using buf lint after changes verifies that your schemas adhere to these required conventions.
