# Distributed Systems Guide
A skill for researching and designing distributed systems, covering consensus algorithms, replication strategies, consistency models, fault tolerance, and performance analysis. Provides theoretical foundations and practical implementations relevant to systems research.
## Consistency Models
### Consistency Hierarchy
```
Strongest
| Linearizability (atomic, real-time ordering)
| Sequential consistency (program order respected)
| Causal consistency (causally related ops ordered)
| PRAM / FIFO consistency (per-process order)
