redis-streams

redis-streams is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashish7802/awesome-api-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Redis data type that stores an append-only sequence of records, similar to a log. Multiple groups of workers can read different records from the same stream.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps build event streams, background work queues, and horizontally scaled consumers using Redis consumer groups.
Why use it?
It gives worker systems a way to divide messages among several workers and retain stream data while controlling its size through trimming.

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

redis-streams 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/stream.ts), 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.

Redis Streams Skill

A data type in Redis that models an append-only log.

Quick Start

Redis Streams acts similarly to Kafka, providing an append-only log that multiple consumer groups can read from simultaneously.

  # XADD key ID field value
redis-cli XADD mystream * sensor-id 1234 temp 19.8

Production Patterns

Consumer Groups

Do not use simple XREAD if you have multiple workers. Use Consumer Groups (XGROUP CREATE). This ensures that a single message in the stream is delivered to exactly one worker in the group, enabling horizontal scaling.

Architecture & Scaling

Trimming

Unlike Kafka, which uses disk, Redis Streams live in memory. You MUST trim the stream (MAXLEN) during XADD or via a background job, otherwise the stream will consume all Redis RAM and crash the server.

Error Recovery

If a consumer crashes before acknowledging a message, that message remains in the Pending Entries List (PEL). Write a separate cleanup worker that periodically inspects the PEL (XPENDING) and reassigns (XCLAIM) stalled messages to healthy workers.

Security Notes

When exposing Redis via Upstash or external providers, always enforce TLS and strongly generated ACL passwords. Never use the default default user for application connections.

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.
