kora-kafka-consumer is a skill for Claude Code from kora-projects/kora-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (2,415 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Kora guide for consuming messages from Apache Kafka, a system that carries messages between services. It covers listeners, deserialization, commits, errors, batches, and rebalancing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a Kafka listener, configuring consumer settings, converting message data to objects, handling failures, committing offsets, or processing batches.
Why use it?
It helps configure Kafka consumers and handle message processing details correctly within Kora.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Kora sub-skill — obey the [kora-v1 meta rules](../../SKILL.md) on every task:** **R0** ensure `.kora-agent/` docs+examples are cloned · **R1** read this sub-s.

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

kora-kafka-consumer 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/generate_consumer.py, scripts/generate_producer.py, scripts/validate_config.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Kora Kafka Consumer Skill

Kora sub-skill — obey the kora-v1 meta rules on every task: R0 ensure .kora-agent/ docs+examples are cloned · R1 read this sub-skill before writing code · R2 Kora APIs only — no Spring/Micronaut/Quarkus, no invented annotations or config keys · R3 journal any incorrect Kora usage. Add comments/Javadoc only if asked.

Quick Start

1. Dependencies (Kora artifacts inherit their version from the kora-parent BOM — never pin them individually):

dependencies {
    koraBom platform("ru.tinkoff.kora:kora-parent:1.2.19")
    annotationProcessor "ru.tinkoff.kora:annotation-processors"

    implementation "ru.tinkoff.kora:kafka"
    implementation "ru.tinkoff.kora:json-module"
    implementation "ru.tinkoff.kora:config-hocon"
    implementation "ru.tinkoff.kora:logging-logback"
}

2. Application Module (a @KoraApp interface extends each module — interfaces never use implements):

@KoraApp
public interface Application extends KafkaModule, JsonModule, HoconConfigModule, LogbackModule {

    static void main(String[] args) {
        KoraApplication.run(ApplicationGraph::graph);
    }
}

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.
