couchbase-sizing

couchbase-sizing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from celticht32/Couchbase-Skills-for-Claude.ai. It costs 195 tokens per session (1,958 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill for estimating the resources a Couchbase database cluster needs. It covers memory, storage, network capacity, node count, replicas, and Capella tiers; Capella is Couchbase’s hosted database service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to estimate RAM, disk, network bandwidth, node count, replica count, index memory, vector-search capacity, or the right Capella tier.
Why use it?
It helps prevent choosing a cluster that is too small, too expensive, or unable to handle future growth. It separates resource planning from deciding how the data should be structured or how the cluster is operated.

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

couchbase-sizing 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 11d 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.

Couchbase sizing & capacity planning

A skill for numerical planning of Couchbase deployments. Companion to couchbase-mcp (which operates clusters) and couchbase-data-modeling (which designs the data shape) — this skill answers "how much" and "how many."

When this skill applies

Use this skill whenever the conversation involves estimating resources or capacity:

  • "How much RAM do I need?"
  • "How many nodes for X documents?"
  • "Which Capella tier should I use?"
  • "Will this fit in 32 GB?"
  • "Should I scale up or scale out?"
  • "How big will the index be?"
  • "What replica count?"
  • "Sizing for vector search"
  • "How much XDCR bandwidth"
  • "Capacity for next year's growth"

If the conversation is about what to store (modeling), use couchbase-data-modeling. If it's about how to operate (calling tools), use couchbase-mcp. This skill is purely about resource math.

Pick the right reference

Question Read
"How much RAM / what's the working set?" references/memory.md
"How many nodes? What replica count?" references/nodes.md
"How much disk / storage?" references/disk.md
"Network bandwidth, XDCR throughput?" references/network.md
"How big will the GSI / FTS / vector index be?" references/indexes.md
"Which Capella tier?" references/capella.md
"Read-heavy vs write-heavy vs vector vs time-series sizing?" references/workload-shapes.md

What you need from the user before sizing anything

Sizing math depends on workload data. Without these inputs, the best you can do is order-of-magnitude estimates with explicit assumptions. Ask the user for any of these that aren't already in context:

  1. Document count at present, and expected growth rate (per month or year)
  2. Average document size (and if it varies a lot, the 95th percentile too)
  3. Reads per second (peak, not average — sizing is for peak)
  4. Writes per second (peak)
  5. Working set assumption: what fraction of documents are "hot" (accessed regularly)? Common: 20%, 50%, 100%
  6. Replica count target (usually 1 or 2)
  7. Services needed (Data, Query, Index, FTS, Eventing, Analytics, Backup, Search)
  8. TTL / retention (does data age out?)

couchbase-sizing is a skill published in the GitHub repository celticht32/Couchbase-Skills-for-Claude.ai (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 195 tokens to every session and 1,958 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
