cassandra-docs

cassandra-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cookieMonsterDev/agents-skills. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for Apache Cassandra, a distributed database designed to store data across many computers. It covers CQL, Cassandra’s query language, along with cluster operation and data modelling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for installation, table and query design, indexes, replication, consistency, compaction, repairs, backups, security, monitoring, and cluster troubleshooting.
Why use it?
It helps avoid applying relational-database assumptions to Cassandra’s partition-based design. It directs answers to the relevant Cassandra documentation and tools.

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

cassandra-docs 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 — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apache Cassandra questions are easy to answer from stale memory or relational-database assumptions. Use this skill to ground answers in the official Apache Cassandra documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic wide-column or NoSQL advice.

When to Use

Use this skill when the request is about:

  • Cassandra concepts: keyspaces, tables, partitions, clustering keys, and replicas
  • Getting started, installation, configuration, and production recommendations
  • CQL syntax, DDL, DML, data types, functions, operators, and security
  • Data modeling: query-first design, denormalization, and physical modeling
  • Storage Attached Indexing (SAI) and secondary indexes (2i)
  • Vector search, materialized views, and JSON support
  • Replication, consistency levels, snitches, and topology changes
  • Compaction, repair, hints, backups, and CDC
  • Security, authentication, authorization, and audit logging
  • Tools: cqlsh, nodetool, SSTable tools, and cassandra-stress
  • Architecture, storage engine, and native protocol behavior
  • Troubleshooting cluster health, performance, and misbehaving nodes

Do not use this skill for:

  • ScyllaDB-specific features, Alternator, or shard-aware drivers. Use scylladb-docs instead.
  • Amazon DynamoDB tables, items, or GSIs. Use aws-dynamodb-docs instead.
  • MongoDB documents or aggregation pipelines. Use mongodb-docs instead.
  • DataStax Enterprise or Astra features unless the question maps to open-source Cassandra docs.

Workflow

1. Classify the request

Decide which bucket the question belongs to before searching:

  • Getting started and installation
  • Architecture and core concepts
  • Data modeling and schema design
  • CQL language and reference
  • Indexing: SAI and secondary indexes
  • Vector search
  • Configuration and operating procedures
  • Replication, repair, and compaction
  • Security and auditing
  • Tools and administration
  • Troubleshooting and FAQ
  • Reference and native protocol

If you need a quick starting point, load references/topic-map.md and jump to the closest section.

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.
