reviewing-cluster-health

reviewing-cluster-health is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cockroachdb/cursor-plugin. It costs 97 tokens per session (3,438 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of reviewing-cluster-health, Apache-2.0.

A guide to checking the health of a CockroachDB cluster, including its nodes, computing resources, workload, and other operational signals. It adapts the checks to the cluster's deployment tier.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for daily checks, pre-maintenance or pre-upgrade reviews, post-incident validation, and investigations of capacity or performance concerns.
Why use it?
It gives operators a structured way to find problems, confirm recovery after an incident, and check readiness before maintenance or an upgrade.

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

reviewing-cluster-health scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Reviewing Cluster Health

Performs a comprehensive health check of a CockroachDB cluster. Before running diagnostics, this skill gathers deployment context to provide the right queries and tools for the operator's tier.

When to Use This Skill

  • Daily or shift-start operational health checks
  • Before starting maintenance (Self-Hosted, Advanced, BYOC)
  • After incidents to confirm recovery
  • Verifying production readiness
  • Monitoring capacity and performance

For live query issues: Use triaging-live-sql-activity. For background jobs: Use monitoring-background-jobs. For range analysis: Use analyzing-range-distribution.


Step 1: Gather Context

Required Context

Question Options Why It Matters
Deployment tier? Self-Hosted, Advanced, BYOC, Standard, Basic Determines available diagnostics and operator responsibilities
Reason for health check? Daily check, Pre-maintenance, Post-incident, Pre-upgrade Prioritizes which dimensions to check first

Additional Context (by tier)

If Self-Hosted:

Question Options Why It Matters
Access available? SQL + CLI, SQL only Determines which tools can be used
Cloud provider? AWS, GCP, Azure, On-Premises Affects infrastructure-level checks
Kubernetes deployment? Yes (Operator, Helm, manual), No Changes CLI commands and monitoring
Node count and regions? e.g., 9 nodes, 3 regions Sets expectations for query results

If Advanced or BYOC:

Question Options Why It Matters
Cloud provider? (BYOC only) AWS, GCP, Azure For infrastructure-level monitoring in your cloud account

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.
