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 | $0.00557 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00279 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00111 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
upstash 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.
Upstash API Skill
Quick Start
Upstash provides serverless Redis and Kafka via REST APIs, making it uniquely compatible with Edge environments where raw TCP connections are restricted.
npm install @upstash/redis
Common Workflows
Rate Limiting at the Edge
Utilize Upstash Redis in Cloudflare Workers or Vercel Edge to track IP addresses. Implement a sliding window algorithm to protect expensive downstream APIs (like OpenAI) from abuse.
Production Patterns
REST vs TCP
In serverless/edge environments, always use @upstash/redis (REST HTTP wrapper). In long-running containers (EC2, ECS), you may use standard ioredis connecting to the Upstash TCP endpoint for lower latency.
Error Recovery
Upstash HTTP API retries automatically under the hood via the @upstash/redis SDK. Ensure your logic handles missing keys gracefully (Redis returns null for cache misses).
Security Notes
Keep the UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN secure. Avoid storing highly sensitive PII in Redis without application-level encryption, as it is primarily a fast caching layer.
Performance Considerations
REST overhead adds ~10-20ms of latency compared to raw TCP. For extremely high-throughput data pipelines, consider Upstash Kafka instead of Redis Pub/Sub to guarantee message durability.
Testing Guidance
Use a separate Upstash database for integration tests, or mock the REST endpoints using generic JSON responses.
Troubleshooting
If data disappears unexpectedly, ensure you are not hitting the memory limit of your free tier, which triggers the LRU (Least Recently Used) eviction policy.

Why use this skill
Use this when your agent works with upstash — 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
What ships with it
7 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.

upstash is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashish7802/awesome-api-skills (13 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 557 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.
