cassandra

cassandra is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 16 tokens per session (438 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A distributed wide-column database designed to keep applications available while spreading data across many machines and regions. It can continue accepting updates when some nodes are unavailable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for multi-region systems, high-throughput event or data ingestion, and services that must remain available during machine failures.
Why use it?
It reduces dependence on a single server and supports high write volumes with built-in replication and configurable consistency.

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 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.

What it actually says

Apache Cassandra

Cassandra is a wide-column store database designed for scalability and high availability without compromising performance. Linear scalability and proven fault-tolerance on commodity hardware or cloud infrastructure make it the perfect platform for mission-critical data.

When to Use

  • High Write Throughput: Ingests millions of writes per second.
  • Always On: Zero single points of failure. Updates can happen even if nodes are down (Eventual Consistency).
  • Multi-Region: Active-Active multi-region replication is built-in.

Quick Start (CQL)

CREATE TABLE users (
  user_id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
  name text,
  email text
);

INSERT INTO users (user_id, name) VALUES (uuid(), 'Alice');

Core Concepts

Partition Key & Clustering Key

  • Partition Key: Determines which node holds the data.
  • Clustering Key: Sorts data within the partition on disk.

Tunable Consistency

You choose consistency level per query.

  • ANY: Fastest, least specific.
  • QUORUM: Majority must acknowledge. Balanced.
  • ALL: Slowest, safest.

Vector Search (5.0+)

Native support for Vector Search (ANN) allows using Cassandra as a Vector DB for AI apps.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Query by Partition Key: Always. Scans are prohibited in production.
  • Use SAI (Storage Attached Indexes): New in 5.0. Better than old secondary indexes.
  • Denormalize: Optimize schema for Reads. It is okay to duplicate data into 3 tables to satisfy 3 different query patterns.

Don't:

  • Don't use distributed joins: Cassandra doesn't do joins. Join in the app.
  • Don't use large partitions: Keep partitions under 100MB to avoid compaction issues.

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.

cassandra is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 438 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
