scylladb-benchmark

scylladb-benchmark is a skill for Claude Code from scylladb/agent-skills. It costs 251 tokens per session (3,075 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repeatable load-testing skill for ScyllaDB Cloud, a hosted database service compatible with Cassandra. It uses cassandra-stress from AWS loader machines and writes a report with latency and rate results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Testing read/write workloads, measuring percentile latency such as p99, checking a latency target, and comparing cluster capacity or schema queries.
Why use it?
It provides a fixed way to measure how much traffic a database cluster handles and how quickly it responds, avoiding results that hide queueing delays.

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

scylladb-benchmark 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/cs-latency.sh, scripts/cs-row.sh, scripts/cs-run.sh, …), 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.

ScyllaDB Cloud benchmark

If the task goes beyond this skill, use the parent scylladb skill for a ScyllaDB overview and the list of other ScyllaDB skills. If it is not installed, fetch it from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scylladb/agent-skills/main/skills/scylladb/SKILL.md.

This skill creates a private ScyllaDB Cloud cluster and AWS loader VMs in a peered VPC, runs scylladb/cassandra-stress at fixed rates, and writes a report that another engineer can repeat. The most important rule: set a fixed rate with -rate threads=T fixed=N/s. A run without a fixed rate hides queueing delay (On Coordinated Omission).

Paths to scripts/ are relative to the skill directory. Set SKILL_DIR to the skill directory before you run the commands in the references.

When to use this skill

  • The user asks to benchmark or load test ScyllaDB Cloud, with or without the queries of their app
  • The user asks for p50, p90, or p99 latency at a rate or a read/write ratio
  • The user asks for the maximum rate under a latency SLA, or if a cluster size is enough
  • The user wants to compare ScyllaDB with another database. Give advice only (comparison). Do not create or run the other database.

For adjacent topics, use the sibling skill instead:

  • Driver settings and connection code for the application itself: scylladb-cloud-setup
  • Schema review before you build the workload profile: scylladb-data-modeling
  • Cluster management through the Cloud MCP server: scylladb-cloud-mcp

Default recipe (fast path)

Use this recipe when the user gives no other shape or workload. It uses the most recent ScyllaDB release and scylladb/cassandra-stress:4.0.0 in us-east-1. The expected result comes from ScyllaDB 2026.3.3.

Item Value
Cluster X Cloud, 3 × i4i.2xlarge, the largest AWS type with freeTier: true in the Cloud API instance list. Scaling pinned.
Loaders 3 × c7i.8xlarge, one in each cluster AZ ID, rack=<AZ ID>
Data 20,000,000 rows of the default standard1 row, split across the loaders
Workload mixed ratio(write=1,read=1), cl=LOCAL_QUORUM, -pop dist=uniform(1..20000000)
Target 220,000 ops/s in total: -rate threads=400 fixed=73333/s on each loader
Timing Populate with 300 threads on each loader, 1 min warm-up, 1 measured run of 3 min. About 16 min from the cluster create request to the first result.
SLA p99 ≤ 10 ms
Expected 220,000 ops/s at p99 about 5 ms, 0 errors, loader CPU below 20%.

scylladb-benchmark is a skill published in the GitHub repository scylladb/agent-skills (7 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 251 tokens to every session and 3,075 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-22.
