load-balancer-setup

load-balancer-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 36 tokens per session (615 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to configuring load balancers, which distribute incoming requests across multiple servers or services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure traffic distribution, health checks, failover, session persistence, TLS handling, and rate limiting.
Why use it?
It helps applications remain available when a server fails and prevents one server from receiving all the traffic.

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

load-balancer-setup 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 1 executable file (scripts/validate-api.sh), 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.

Load Balancer Setup

Table of Contents

Overview

Deploy and configure load balancers to distribute traffic across multiple backend servers, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and optimal resource utilization across your infrastructure.

When to Use

  • Multi-server traffic distribution
  • High availability and failover
  • Session persistence and sticky sessions
  • Health checking and auto-recovery
  • SSL/TLS termination
  • Cross-region load balancing
  • API rate limiting at load balancer
  • DDoS mitigation

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
global
    log stdout local0
    log stdout local1 notice
    maxconn 4096
    daemon

    # Security
    tune.ssl.default-dh-param 2048
    ssl-default-bind-ciphers ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
    ssl-default-bind-options ssl-min-ver TLSv1.2

defaults
    log global
    mode http
    option httplog
    option denylogin
    option forwardfor
    option http-server-close

    # Timeouts
    timeout connect 5000
    timeout client 50000
    timeout server 50000

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Implement health checks
  • Use connection pooling
  • Enable session persistence when needed
  • Monitor load balancer metrics
  • Implement rate limiting
  • Use multiple availability zones
  • Enable SSL/TLS termination
  • Implement graceful connection draining

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.
