aerospike-getting-started

aerospike-getting-started is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aerospike/agent-skills. It costs 137 tokens per session (3,479 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A beginner's guide to running Aerospike Database locally and using it from application code. Aerospike is a fast key-value and document database, where records are found by keys rather than by SQL joins and fixed tables.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start Aerospike with Docker, install its Python, Node.js, Go, Java, or C# client, and verify basic put/get operations. It also introduces namespaces, sets, records, bins, TTL, and write generations.
Why use it?
It explains the setup details and basic data model that can otherwise make a first installation confusing. It also covers Docker, official client libraries, ports, expiration times, and the difference between Community and Enterprise images.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Output Handling · line 197
    Model output is used without validation or sanitization. Unvalidated output injected into downstream contexts (SQL, shell, HTML) enables injection attacks and arbitrary code execution.
    Fix: Validate and sanitize all model output before using it in downstream contexts. Use parameterized queries for SQL, shell quoting for commands, and HTML encoding for web output.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

aerospike-getting-started 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 11d 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.

Aerospike Database: getting started

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Set up Aerospike, a real-time database, or a low-latency NoSQL store.
  • Replace Redis or Memcached with a persistent, clustered alternative.
  • Add a high-throughput key-value or document database to their project. (Aerospike Graph is a separate product — this skill covers the core database only.)
  • Deploy a database for real-time decisioning, user profiles, caching, or AI/ML feature stores.

Mental model

  • Hierarchy: A namespace holds sets; each record is addressed by a key (namespace + set + user key). Bins are name/value fields on the record. Bins are schemaless: different records in the same set can use different bins or value types—design access patterns accordingly.
  • Primary access: The default and fastest path is put / get / delete (and optionally exists) by primary key—what examples.md demonstrates. This is not SQL with arbitrary joins or a fixed table schema.
  • Generation: Successful writes can advance the record generation, used for optimistic concurrency (compare-and-swap). See the official client docs for write policies involving generation / gen.
  • Vocabulary: Use namespace, set, record, and bin consistently (see Critical rules below). Avoid treating Aerospike like a relational database.

First operations map

Use this map so new users know what to reach for after the first put/get:

Stage What to use Where to start
First program Single-record put, get, delete examples.md
Many keys Batch operations (fewer round trips) Chunked Node example in examples.md; every client has batch APIs—see Client libraries for your language
Lookup by bin value (not primary key) Secondary index + query Not part of the minimal Docker + first read/write path; see Secondary index queries

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.
