altinity-expert-clickhouse-storage

altinity-expert-clickhouse-storage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Altinity/altinity-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,522 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A ClickHouse storage diagnostic skill for examining how much disk data uses, how well it is compressed, and where storage or disk input/output is slowing the database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate disk-space problems, slow disk operations, compression issues, small data parts, heavy writes, detached parts, and storage affected by merges.
Why use it?
It helps locate wasted disk space, inefficient compression, oversized or numerous data parts, and storage bottlenecks instead of requiring manual investigation across system tables.

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-storage 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Storage and disk usage analysis

Answers "where is the disk going, is the data compressed well, and is the disk keeping up?" from system.disks, system.parts, system.columns, system.detached_parts, system.storage_policies, system.asynchronous_metrics, system.query_log and system.part_log. Run altinity-expert-clickhouse-connection first if the connection mode, cluster and time window are not yet established.

Query packs

  • checks.sql — 19 checks: disk free space with severity, size by database and by table, usage by path, overall and per-table compression ratio, columns compressing worse than 2x, part size distribution, small-part detection, Wide vs Compact part mix, disk IO metrics, recent IO from the query log, the heaviest IO queries, system log disk usage, detached parts with reasons, storage policies and the tables using them, what grew in the last hour, and merge throughput as a proxy for disk speed. Check storage-19 needs system.part_log; skip it when that table is absent.
  • reference.md — background (settings, sizing, anti-patterns); read only when you need to explain a recommendation.

How to run the query packs

  1. Read each pack file from this skill's directory (the skill loader prints the directory path).
  2. Run statements one at a time, never a whole file. Statements end with ; and start with a -- @check <id> <title> header; keep the id with its result.
  3. Honor -- @requires: skip the statement when the named table is missing, when keeper is required and the server has no Keeper/ZooKeeper, or when the version condition is not met. List skipped ids with the reason.
  4. Keep {cluster} as written when a cluster macro exists; otherwise apply the connection skill's rewrite rule. Any other {placeholder} is a template variable: substitute a real value first or skip the statement.
  5. On an error, record the check id and the first line of the error, then continue. Only for UNKNOWN_IDENTIFIER, run DESCRIBE TABLE system.<table> and drop the missing column.
  6. A severity column is the verdict for that row. Copy it; do not re-grade.

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.
