Generate gRPC service definitions, stubs, and implementations from Protocol Buffers. Use when creating high-performance gRPC services. Trigger with phrases like "generate gRPC service", "create gRPC API", or "build gRPC server".

Generate gRPC service definitions, client/server stubs, and implementations from Protocol Buffer (protobuf) .proto files. Scaffold unary, server-streaming, client-streaming, and bidirectional-streaming RPC methods with proper error status codes, interceptors for auth/logging, and health check service registration.

|---|---|---|
| INVALID_ARGUMENT (3) | Request message fails field validation constraints | Return detailed BadRequest error details with field-level violation descriptions |
| NOT_FOUND (5) | Requested resource does not exist | Include resource type and ID in error message metadata for client debugging |
| PERMISSION_DENIED (7) | Caller lacks required role or scope in JWT metadata | Return required permission in error details; log denied access attempt |
| DEADLINE_EXCEEDED (4) | RPC took longer than client-specified deadline | Propagate deadlines to downstream calls; implement cascading timeout budgets |
| UNAVAILABLE (14) | Server overloaded or downstream dependency unreachable | Client should retry with exponential backoff; server should implement backpressure |
Refer to ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error patterns.
User management service: Define UserService with CreateUser, GetUser, ListUsers (server-streaming for large result sets), and UpdateUser RPCs with field mask support for partial updates.
Real-time event stream: Bidirectional streaming RPC where clients subscribe to event topics and the server pushes filtered events, with flow control via client-side backpressure signals.
gRPC-Web frontend: Generate gRPC-Web compatible stubs for browser clients using Envoy proxy for HTTP/2 to gRPC translation, enabling direct proto-based communication from React/Vue applications.
