kafka-patterns

kafka-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from khalilbenaz/claude-skills-collection. It costs 65 tokens per session (2,125 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Apache Kafka, a system for moving streams of events between applications. It covers topics, partitions, consumer groups, message schemas, retention, and Kafka Streams for processing events.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan topics and partitions, configure retention and replication, define event schemas, manage consumer groups, and process streaming data.
Why use it?
It helps teams design event pipelines that can handle parallel producers and consumers while keeping message formats and storage rules consistent.

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

kafka-patterns 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 9d 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.

Kafka Patterns

Workflow

1. Concevoir la topologie des topics

  • Nommer les topics par domaine + type d'événement : orders.created, payments.processed, inventory.updated
  • Calcul des partitions : partitions = débit_cible_MB/s ÷ débit_par_partition_MB/s (typiquement 10–20 MB/s par partition)
  • Règle pratique : commencer avec max(producteurs_parallèles, consommateurs_parallèles) partitions
  • Rétention selon le cas : time-based (retention.ms=604800000 = 7j), size-based (retention.bytes), ou compaction pour les changelogs (KTable)
# Créer un topic avec 12 partitions, réplication 3, rétention 7 jours
kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server broker:9092 \
  --create --topic orders.created \
  --partitions 12 --replication-factor 3 \
  --config retention.ms=604800000

# Lister / décrire
kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server broker:9092 --describe --topic orders.created

2. Définir le schéma des messages

  • Avro (compact, Schema Registry natif) > Protobuf > JSON Schema selon l'éco-système
  • Enregistrer dans Confluent Schema Registry avec compatibilité BACKWARD par défaut
  • Inclure les champs obligatoires : event_id (UUID), event_type, occurred_at (ISO-8601), source, correlation_id
// Avro schema — orders.created
{
  "type": "record",
  "name": "OrderCreated",
  "namespace": "com.example.orders",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "event_id", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "order_id", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "customer_id", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "amount_cents", "type": "long"},
    {"name": "occurred_at", "type": {"type": "long", "logicalType": "timestamp-millis"}}
  ]
}

3. Configurer les producers

Choisir les garanties selon le besoin :

Cas acks enable.idempotence transactional.id
Fire-and-forget (logs) 0 false
At-least-once (défaut) all false
Exactly-once all true txn-{service}-{instance}

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.

kafka-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository khalilbenaz/claude-skills-collection (22 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,125 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
