# Akka.Hosting Actor Patterns
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Building entity actors that represent domain objects (users, orders, invoices, etc.)
- Need actors that work in both unit tests (no clustering) and production (cluster sharding)
- Setting up scheduled tasks with akka-reminders
- Registering actors with Akka.Hosting extension methods
- Creating reusable actor configuration patterns
## Core Principles
1. **Execution Mode Abstraction** - Same actor code runs locally (tests) or clustered (production)
