redis

redis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kubiyabot/skill. It costs 16 tokens per session (4,294 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A Redis command-line client that runs inside Docker. Redis is a fast data store commonly used for caches, temporary data, and messaging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Set and read keys, manage Redis data structures, monitor activity, test connections, investigate caching problems, use publish/subscribe messaging, and administer databases.
Why use it?
It lets you inspect and manage Redis without installing the client locally, helping keep the host system clean.

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 B, and why

redis scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Redis Skill

Access Redis databases using the redis-cli client running inside a Docker container. Set/get keys, manage data structures, monitor performance, and perform cache operations without installing Redis locally.

Overview

This skill provides the redis-cli command-line client through a containerized runtime. Connect to any Redis instance (local or remote), execute commands, manipulate data structures, and manage your cache - all while keeping your host system clean.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Connect to Redis instances without local installation
  • Set and get cached values
  • Manage Redis data structures (strings, lists, sets, hashes, sorted sets)
  • Monitor Redis performance and commands
  • Test cache connections
  • Debug caching issues
  • Flush databases and manage keys
  • Pub/Sub messaging operations
  • Execute administrative commands

Prerequisites

Docker

The Redis client runs inside a Docker container:

# macOS (using Homebrew)
brew install --cask docker

# Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io
sudo systemctl start docker

Redis Server

You need access to a Redis server:

  • Local Redis instance
  • Remote Redis server
  • Cloud-hosted Redis (AWS ElastiCache, Redis Cloud, Azure Cache, etc.)
  • Docker Redis container

Configuration

Add to your .skill-engine.toml:

[skills.redis]
source = "docker:redis:7-alpine"
runtime = "docker"
description = "Redis CLI client"

[skills.redis.docker]
image = "redis:7-alpine"
entrypoint = "redis-cli"
network = "bridge"
memory = "128m"
rm = true

Configuration Explained

  • image: redis:7-alpine - Redis 7.x Alpine image (~30MB)
  • entrypoint: redis-cli - Redis command-line interface
  • network: bridge - Allows connections to Redis servers (local and remote)
  • memory: 128m - Limits container to 128MB RAM
  • rm: true - Automatically removes container after execution

Usage

Redis skill uses pass-through syntax - all arguments after -- are passed directly to redis-cli:

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

redis is a skill published in the GitHub repository kubiyabot/skill (16 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 4,294 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
