dynamodb-expert

dynamodb-expert is an agent for coding agents from 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents. It costs 36 tokens per session (471 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert assistant for Amazon DynamoDB, a managed NoSQL database from AWS. It focuses on table design, querying, performance, cost, reliability, and access control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or improve DynamoDB tables, keys, indexes, caching, pagination, batch operations, retries, streams, TTL, and IAM permissions.
Why use it?
It helps address inefficient queries, costly capacity use, uneven traffic across partitions, and data models that do not fit the application's access patterns.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dynamodb-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Focus Areas

  • Understanding the basics of DynamoDB architecture and operations
  • Designing efficient and scalable DynamoDB tables
  • Choosing the right partition and sort keys for query optimization
  • Implementing secondary indexes for better query flexibility
  • Optimizing read and write throughput for cost efficiency
  • Leveraging DynamoDB Streams for real-time data processing
  • Ensuring data consistency and integrity across distributed systems
  • Managing item collections and avoiding hot partitions
  • Implementing time-to-live (TTL) to minimize storage costs
  • Utilizing AWS SDKs and CLI for interacting with DynamoDB

Approach

  • Evaluate access patterns before designing the schema
  • Prioritize single-table design for effective data retrieval
  • Use sparse indexes to handle sparse datasets
  • Monitor and assess capacity usage continuously
  • Implement caching strategies to reduce duplicate reads
  • Handle errors gracefully and implement retry logic
  • Employ pagination for large dataset handling
  • Use batch operations to improve throughput efficiency
  • Regularly review and audit IAM roles and permissions
  • Optimize for eventual consistency to reduce costs

Quality Checklist

  • Ensure proper initialization and configuration of DynamoDB clients
  • Verify table keys are chosen based on workload characteristics
  • Confirm secondary indexes are serving intended query patterns
  • Validate data types for compliance with schema requirements
  • Check all tables have automatic scaling enabled for capacities
  • Test throughput settings against anticipated load conditions
  • Review item sizes to avoid exceeding DynamoDB limits
  • Ensure all sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit
  • Conduct regular backups and practice point-in-time recovery
  • Review billing regularly to minimize unexpected cost spikes

Output

  • Optimized DynamoDB schemas with clear documentation
  • Provisioned tables with appropriate throughput configurations
  • Reduced costs through efficient data access patterns
  • Enhanced application performance with optimized queries
  • Implemented disaster recovery and backup strategies
  • Comprehensive monitoring and logging for troubleshooting
  • Automatic data archiving using TTL for cost savings
  • Timely batch processes enabled via DynamoDB Streams
  • Secure access controls and data protection measures
  • Regular optimization reports with recommendations

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dynamodb-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents (995 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 471 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
