event-store-design

event-store-design is a skill for Claude Code from EngineerWithAI/engineerwith-agents. It costs 33 tokens per session (3,056 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of event-store-design, MIT.

A guide to storing the history of changes as a sequence of events, such as “order created” or “payment received.” An event store keeps these events grouped by the thing they describe so the current state can be rebuilt later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design event-sourced databases, choose an event storage approach, create storage schemas, and plan for larger data volumes.
Why use it?
It helps preserve a complete change history and gives applications a consistent way to save and retrieve events.

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

event-store-design 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 6d 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.

2. Event Store Requirements

Requirement Description
Append-only Events are immutable, only appends
Ordered Per-stream and global ordering
Versioned Optimistic concurrency control
Subscriptions Real-time event notifications
Idempotent Handle duplicate writes safely

Technology Comparison

Technology Best For Limitations
EventStoreDB Pure event sourcing Single-purpose
PostgreSQL Existing Postgres stack Manual implementation
Kafka High-throughput streaming Not ideal for per-stream queries
DynamoDB Serverless, AWS-native Query limitations
Marten .NET ecosystems .NET specific

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.
