data-streaming

data-streaming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j4flmao/agent-skills. It costs 112 tokens per session (6,672 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing systems that process events as they happen, often with tools such as Kafka, Flink, or Kinesis. Stream processing handles ongoing data such as application events, database changes, or device messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design topics, consumers, partitions, change-data-capture pipelines, stream-processing jobs, and destinations such as warehouses or caches.
Why use it?
It helps teams plan reliable real-time data flows instead of treating every event as a one-off integration. It addresses message organization, processing, delivery guarantees, and retention.

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

data-streaming 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 2d 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.

Data Streaming

Purpose

Design streaming data pipelines with Kafka topic architecture, Flink/Kafka Streams processing, schema evolution, and reliability guarantees.

Agent Protocol

Trigger

Exact user phrases: "streaming", "Kafka", "Flink", "Kinesis", "stream processing", "event stream", "real-time", "CDC", "change data capture", "message queue", "stream architecture", "Kafka topic", "Kafka consumer", "stream processing pipeline", "exactly-once", "schema registry", "Avro", "Debezium", "ksqlDB".

Input Context

Before activating, verify:

  • Streaming platform (Kafka, Kinesis, Pulsar)
  • Processing framework (Flink, Kafka Streams, ksqlDB, Spark Streaming)
  • Source systems (database CDC, application events, IoT, logs)
  • Target systems (warehouse, lake, search index, cache)
  • Throughput and latency requirements
  • Data volume and retention requirements
  • Security and compliance needs
  • Team expertise with streaming technologies

Output Artifact

Streaming pipeline design with topic model, processing logic, reliability config as YAML and SQL.

Response Format

# Topic topology
# Partition strategy
# Consumer group config
-- ksqlDB query
// Flink job skeleton

No preamble. No postamble. No explanations. No filler/hedging/transitions. Compress output — why use many token when few do trick.

Completion Criteria

  • Topic model defined with partition count and retention
  • Schema Registry configured with evolution rules
  • Stream processing job with exactly-once semantics
  • CDC pipeline from source database configured
  • Error handling with DLQ defined
  • Monitoring and lag alerting configured
  • Security configured (TLS, auth, ACLs)
  • Data retention and compaction strategy defined

Max Response Length

300 lines of code and configuration.

Kafka Architecture

Brokers and Clusters

A Kafka cluster consists of multiple brokers. Each broker is a server that stores topic partitions and serves produce/consume requests. Brokers are identified by a unique ID. A cluster typically has 3-7 brokers for production. Controller broker handles partition leadership and cluster metadata. Brokers should have sufficient disk (RAID 10, SSDs) and network bandwidth for the expected throughput.

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.

data-streaming is a skill published in the GitHub repository j4flmao/agent-skills (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 6,672 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
