event-sourcing

event-sourcing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 35 tokens per session (544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to event sourcing and CQRS, patterns that record each state change as an event and may separate updates from reads. The event history can be replayed to reconstruct state and inspect the past.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build event stores, audit trails, temporal queries, event-driven services, financial systems, and complex domain models.
Why use it?
It preserves a detailed audit trail instead of keeping only the latest state. This helps with historical queries, debugging, compliance, and systems that need to react to changes.

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

event-sourcing 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/scaffold-analysis.sh, templates/notebook-template.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Event Sourcing

Table of Contents

Overview

Store state changes as a sequence of events rather than the current state, enabling temporal queries, audit trails, and event replay.

When to Use

  • Audit trail requirements
  • Temporal queries (state at any point in time)
  • Event-driven microservices
  • CQRS implementations
  • Financial systems
  • Complex domain models
  • Debugging and analysis
  • Compliance and regulation

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

interface DomainEvent {
  id: string;
  aggregateId: string;
  aggregateType: string;
  eventType: string;
  data: any;
  metadata: {
    userId?: string;
    timestamp: number;
    version: number;
  };
}

interface Aggregate {
  id: string;
  version: number;
}

class EventStore {
  private events: DomainEvent[] = [];

  async appendEvents(
    aggregateId: string,
    expectedVersion: number,
    events: Omit<DomainEvent, "id" | "metadata">[],
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Store events immutably
  • Version your events
  • Use optimistic concurrency
  • Create snapshots for performance
  • Use projections for queries
  • Keep events small and focused
  • Include metadata (timestamp, user, etc.)
  • Handle event versioning/migration

❌ DON'T

  • Mutate past events
  • Store current state only
  • Skip concurrency checks
  • Query event store for reads
  • Make events too large
  • Forget about event schema evolution

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

event-sourcing is a skill published in the GitHub repository aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts (338 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 544 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 2026-09-03.
