couchbase-transactions

couchbase-transactions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from celticht32/Couchbase-Skills-for-Claude.ai. It costs 156 tokens per session (699 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for using Couchbase, a document database, to change multiple documents together as one all-or-nothing transaction. It covers distributed ACID transactions, where ACID means changes are kept consistent even during conflicts or failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or troubleshoot multi-document transactions, including commit and rollback handling, conflict retries, transaction speed, and deciding when a transaction is needed.
Why use it?
It helps prevent partial updates when several documents must agree. It also explains transaction retries, conflicts, expiry, and the internal records Couchbase uses to recover unfinished transactions.

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-transactions 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 12d 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 Distributed Transactions

A skill for designing and implementing multi-document ACID transactions in Couchbase. Goes deeper than the overview in couchbase-app-integration/references/transactions-app-side.md.

Distinct from:

  • couchbase-app-integration — general SDK patterns; has a transactions overview but not the depth needed for production transaction design
  • couchbase-mcp — the cb_transaction_run tool for running transactions via the MCP server

When this skill applies

  • "How do I atomically update multiple documents?"
  • "How do transactions work under the hood?"
  • "My transaction is retrying — why?"
  • "How do I handle a transaction conflict?"
  • "What happens if the client crashes mid-transaction?"
  • "Transactions are slow — how do I tune them?"
  • "What are ATRs and why does my bucket have them?"
  • "How do I model data to minimize transaction use?"

Pick the right reference

Question Read
"When should I use transactions vs single-doc ops vs subdoc?" references/when-to-use.md
"How do they work? ATRs, two-phase commit, retry, expiry" references/mechanics.md
"Code patterns — Python, Java, Node; error handling; retry logic" references/patterns.md

Core principle: try to design around transactions

Transactions in Couchbase are meaningfully slower than equivalent single-document KV operations — they do substantially more work (staging, two-phase commit across documents, Active Transaction Record bookkeeping, and possible retries) — and add retry complexity. Before reaching for a transaction, ask: can this be modeled as a single-document update? Often the answer is yes. See references/when-to-use.md for the decision framework.

When you do need transactions, they're correct and reliable — just plan for the cost.

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.

couchbase-transactions is a skill published in the GitHub repository celticht32/Couchbase-Skills-for-Claude.ai (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 156 tokens to every session and 699 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
