materialize-redshift-create

materialize-redshift-create is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from estuary/agent-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,731 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for sending data from Estuary collections to Amazon Redshift, a cloud data warehouse for analytics. It uses Estuary's command-line tool to create the connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure a Redshift cluster or Serverless workgroup as an Estuary destination and stream collections into tables.
Why use it?
It gives you the required settings and setup checks for Redshift, including access permissions, storage, networking, and SSH tunnels. This helps avoid configuration errors when making Redshift a data destination.

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

materialize-redshift-create 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 4d 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 — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Redshift Materialization

Create a Redshift materialization using flowctl to stream data from Estuary collections into Amazon Redshift tables.

Applies to: materialize-redshift (Redshift Provisioned and Serverless)

Step 0: Load Connector Documentation

Before proceeding, fetch the official connector docs for prerequisites, config reference, and setup instructions.

Load the docs page: https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/materialization-connectors/amazon-redshift/

Use WebFetch to load this page. It covers:

  • Prerequisites (Redshift cluster, S3 bucket, IAM credentials)
  • Full config property reference
  • SSH tunnel configuration
  • Network access and IP allowlisting

Search Kapa for tribal knowledge (if the Estuary MCP is configured):

Search kapa ai knowledge sources for "materialize redshift common issues"

If Kapa MCP is not configured, the user can set it up: https://docs.estuary.dev/features/mcp-integration/

This skill provides the flowctl workflow and troubleshooting that docs don't cover.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Before writing any YAML, ask the user:

  1. Redshift endpoint? — Cluster hostname and port (default: 5439)
  2. Database and schema? — Target database name, schema (default: public)
  3. S3 staging bucket? — Bucket name and region (same region as Redshift cluster is recommended for best performance)
  4. AWS credentials? — Access key ID and secret access key with S3 read/write
  5. Network path? — Direct connection (with IP allowlist) or SSH tunnel
  6. Non-default data plane? — Most users use the default. Ask if they need a non-default data plane.
  7. Source collections? — Which Estuary collections to materialize
  8. Hard deletes? — Off by default. Without it, deleted rows stay in Redshift marked with _meta/op: 'd'. Enable to physically remove them.
  9. Delta updates? — Off by default. Switches from one-row-per-key (standard merge) to append-only. Use for event logs or history tables.
  10. Sync schedule? — Controls how often batches are written to Redshift (default: 30 minutes, 0s for real-time). Affects latency and compute 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.
