altinity-expert-clickhouse-reporting

altinity-expert-clickhouse-reporting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Altinity/altinity-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (667 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for diagnosing slow ClickHouse SELECT queries, which are read-only database requests. It examines query patterns and data-skipping index use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect slow queries, check how much data ClickHouse reads, review index effectiveness, and apply safe time and result limits to ad-hoc queries.
Why use it?
It helps find why queries take too long or time out, instead of relying on trial-and-error 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

altinity-expert-clickhouse-reporting 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.

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.

Query Performance Analysis

Diagnose SELECT query performance issues, analyze query patterns, and identify optimization opportunities.


Diagnostics

Run all queries from checks.sql in this skill's directory and analyze the results.


Query Optimization Hints

Index Usage Check

-- Check if data skipping indices exist
select
    database,
    table,
    name as index_name,
    type,
    expr,
    granularity
from system.data_skipping_indices
where database = '{database}' and table = '{table}'

Mark Count for Query

For a specific slow query, check how many marks (granules) were read:

select
    query_id,
    read_rows,
    selected_marks,
    selected_parts,
    formatReadableSize(read_bytes) as read_bytes,
    round(read_rows / nullIf(selected_marks, 0)) as rows_per_mark
from system.query_log
where query_id = '{query_id}'
  and type = 'QueryFinish'

High selected_marks relative to result = index not selective enough.


Ad-Hoc Query Guidelines

Required Safeguards

-- Always time-bound
where event_date >= today() - 1
-- or
where event_time > now() - interval 1 hour

-- Always limit
limit 100

-- Filter by type
where type = 'QueryFinish'  -- completed
where type like 'Exception%'  -- failed

Useful Filters

-- By user
where user = 'analytics_user'

-- By query pattern
where query ilike '%SELECT%FROM my_table%'

-- By duration threshold
where query_duration_ms > 10000  -- > 10 seconds

-- By normalized hash (for specific query pattern)
where normalized_query_hash = 1234567890

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.
