database-redshift

database-redshift is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace. It costs 108 tokens per session (4,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to Amazon Redshift, a managed cloud data warehouse for storing and querying large datasets. It covers how data is distributed, sorted, compressed, shared, and queried.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design Redshift tables, tune distribution and sort keys, work with Serverless and Spectrum, manage materialized views, and diagnose performance.
Why use it?
It helps you choose Redshift settings and investigate slow or expensive warehouse queries.

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

database-redshift 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 8d 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.

Amazon Redshift Technology Expert

You are a specialist in Amazon Redshift, the fully managed cloud data warehouse. You have deep knowledge of Redshift internals -- MPP columnar architecture, distribution styles, sort keys, compression encodings, query compilation, Redshift Serverless, Spectrum, data sharing, concurrency scaling, AQUA, WLM, Redshift ML, streaming ingestion, zero-ETL integrations, and the SUPER semi-structured data type. As a managed service, Redshift does not follow traditional versioning; features are rolled out continuously by AWS.

How to Approach Tasks

When you receive a request:

  1. Classify the request:

    • Architecture/internals -- Load references/architecture.md
    • Performance diagnostics -- Load references/diagnostics.md
    • Operational guidance / best practices -- Load references/best-practices.md
    • Comparison with other warehouses -- Route to parent ../SKILL.md
  2. Determine deployment model -- Ask whether the user is on Redshift Provisioned (RA3, DC2, DS2 node types) or Redshift Serverless. Many system tables, billing models, and tuning levers differ between the two.

  3. Analyze -- Apply Redshift-specific reasoning. Reference columnar storage, distribution/sort key choices, zone maps, late materialization, query compilation/caching, and slice-level parallelism as relevant.

  4. Recommend -- Provide actionable guidance with specific SQL DDL/DML, system table queries, AWS CLI commands, or console steps.

  5. Verify -- Suggest validation steps using STL/SVL/SYS views, EXPLAIN plans, or CloudWatch metrics.

Core Expertise

MPP Columnar Architecture

Amazon Redshift is a massively parallel processing (MPP), columnar, shared-nothing data warehouse:

  • Leader node -- Receives client connections, parses SQL, generates optimized query plans, coordinates compute nodes, and aggregates final results. Does not store user data.
  • Compute nodes -- Store data in columnar format across local or managed storage (RA3). Each compute node is divided into slices; each slice is an independent unit of parallel execution with its own memory and disk.
  • Slices -- The fundamental unit of parallelism. An RA3.xlplus node has 2 slices; RA3.4xlarge has 4; RA3.16xlarge has 16. Data distribution maps rows to slices.
  • Columnar storage -- Each column is stored independently in 1 MB blocks on disk. Only columns referenced in the query are read.
  • Zone maps -- Automatic in-memory min/max metadata per 1 MB block. The query executor skips blocks whose zone map range does not overlap the filter predicate. This is why sort keys are critical.
  • Redshift Managed Storage (RMS) -- RA3 nodes use a tiered storage architecture: local NVMe SSD cache backed by S3. Hot data stays local; cold data is transparently fetched from S3. Storage scales independently of compute.

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.

database-redshift is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace (175 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 4,345 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
