projection-patterns

A guide to building read models from event streams. An event stream is a sequence of recorded changes, and a read model is a version of the data arranged for fast queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for CQRS read sides, materialized views, search indexes, real-time dashboards, query optimization, and aggregating data across event streams.
Why use it?
It helps systems based on event sourcing serve searches, dashboards, and queries without rebuilding information on every request.

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

projection-patterns 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Projection Patterns

Comprehensive guide to building projections and read models for event-sourced systems.

Use this skill when

  • Building CQRS read models
  • Creating materialized views from events
  • Optimizing query performance
  • Implementing real-time dashboards
  • Building search indexes from events
  • Aggregating data across streams

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to projection patterns
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
Changes

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.

projection-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository beel-collab/presets.dev (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 294 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
