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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00106 | $0.01216 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00486 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00243 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00122 |
Grade A, and why
redis-connections 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to redis-connections — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Redis Connections
Client-side guidance for talking to Redis efficiently: how to share connections, how to batch commands, which commands not to call in production, when to turn on client-side caching, and how to set timeouts that fail fast without breaking healthy traffic.
When to apply
- Creating or reviewing a Redis client setup (redis-py, Jedis, Lettuce, go-redis, NRedisStack).
- Making many small Redis calls and wondering where the latency is going.
- Iterating large keyspaces, sets, hashes, or lists.
- Enabling client-side caching for hot keys.
- Tuning connect / read / write timeouts.
1. Pool or multiplex — never one connection per request
The single biggest mistake in Redis client code is opening a new TCP connection for every operation. Always either:
- Pool — keep N persistent connections that the application leases per call (redis-py
ConnectionPool, JedisJedisPooled, go-redis client). - Multiplex — share a single connection across all requests (Lettuce, NRedisStack).
| Style | Used by | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pool | redis-py, Jedis, go-redis | Each lease blocks if pool exhausted; size the pool to your concurrency |
| Multiplex | Lettuce, NRedisStack | Single connection; cannot carry blocking commands like BLPOP |
# redis-py — connection pool
pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host="localhost", port=6379, max_connections=50)
r = redis.Redis(connection_pool=pool)
See references/pooling.md for Python + Java + Lettuce examples.
2. Pipeline bulk work
For N commands that don't depend on each other's results, send them as a single batch with pipelining. One round-trip instead of N.
pipe = redis.pipeline()
for user_id in user_ids:
pipe.get(f"user:{user_id}")
results = pipe.execute()
Use non-transactional pipelining for performance, and pipeline(transaction=True) only when you actually need atomicity (see redis-core's transactions guidance).
What ships with it
5 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.
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.

redis-connections is a skill published in the GitHub repository Aniket-a14/SRA (24 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 1,216 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to redis-connections, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

using-redis-token-buckets
Use when adding a bucket-like rate limit backed by Redis: a per-caller budget with burst capacity and continuous refill, a refund path for requests that did no work, or a limit whose Retry-After must be a real wait rather than a window edge. posthog/tokenbucket.py provides an atomic Lua token bucket (consume, refund…

Design system data flows and data-layer ownership, consistency, and store choices from access patterns. Use for critical-flow design, DFD semantic review, data lineage, authority, replication, retention, or a data-tier bottleneck. Avoid unrelated framework stream/dataframe implementation questions.
caching
Caching strategies — invalidation, TTL guidelines, cache keys, cache layers, and when not to cache. Use when implementing or reviewing caching logic.

Full end-to-end tRPC setup for Next.js App Router. Covers route handler with fetchRequestHandler (GET + POST exports), TRPCProvider with QueryClientProvider, createTRPCOptionsProxy for RSC prefetching, HydrateClient/HydrationBoundary for hydration, useSuspenseQuery for Suspense, and server-side callers.
