Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00497 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00249 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
redis 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 5d 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 — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Redis API Skill
Overview
Redis is used as a database, cache, and message broker. This skill covers the redis (Node.js) and redis-py libraries.
Installation
npm install redis
pip install redis
Authentication
Uses a connection URL redis://user:password@host:port. Redis 6+ supports ACLs (Access Control Lists) for fine-grained permissions.
Core Concepts
- Keys: The string identifier for data.
- TTL (Time to Live): Expiration time for a key.
- Pub/Sub: Publish/Subscribe messaging paradigm.
Common Workflows
createClient({ url }).await client.connect().await client.set('key', 'value', { EX: 3600 }).
Error Handling
Handle connection drops. The Node SDK v4+ automatically reconnects. Catch command errors if passing invalid types (e.g., trying to HGET a string).
Security
Never expose Redis directly to the public internet. Ensure requirepass is set or use managed services like ElastiCache with TLS.
Rate Limits
Redis is bound by CPU and Memory, not API limits. It handles 100,000+ operations per second easily.
Best Practices
Always set a TTL (EX or PX) on cache keys to prevent memory exhaustion (OOM). Use pipelining (client.multi()) to batch commands and reduce RTT latency.
Troubleshooting
If memory fills up, verify your eviction policy (maxmemory-policy) is set to allkeys-lru or volatile-lru rather than noeviction.
References
Why use this skill
Use this when your agent works with redis — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.
AI pitfalls
- Inventing column names or schema fields
- Using deprecated driver methods or wrong connection strings
- Omitting connection pooling or transaction boundaries
Production checklist
- Migrations version-controlled and applied via CI
- Connection limits and pooling configured
- Backups and restore procedure documented

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashish7802/awesome-api-skills (13 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 497 tokens. 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.
