arangodb-multi-model-database-operations

arangodb-multi-model-database-operations is a skill for Claude Code from selvarajmurugesan90/ops-engineering-skills. It costs 132 tokens per session (3,937 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to operating ArangoDB, a database that stores documents, key-value data, and graph relationships in one system. It uses one query language, AQL, for these data types.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose collection types, write graph traversals, use AQL, and configure ArangoDB clusters.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide whether one multi-purpose database fits their data without stitching several separate databases together.

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

arangodb-multi-model-database-operations scanned grade A 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 11d 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.

ArangoDB Multi-Model Database Operations

Purpose

ArangoDB's distinguishing architectural bet is multi-model in one engine: document collections, key-value access, and graph data (via edge collections connecting document vertices) all live in the same database, queried through a single language — AQL (ArangoQL) — rather than requiring separate document, graph, and key-value systems stitched together at the application layer. This is a materially different trade-off than a graph-only engine like neo4j-graph-database-operations: ArangoDB is the right choice when a workload genuinely needs both general document storage and graph traversal against the same data without operating two databases, at the cost of graph traversal performance that (for very deep or very high-fan-out traversals) doesn't match a purpose-built graph engine's native storage layout. This skill covers AQL fundamentals for ops, collection-type selection, and cluster configuration (coordinators, DB-servers, the Raft-based agency) — the operational core for running ArangoDB reliably at scale.

When to use

  • Deciding whether a new collection should be a document collection, an edge collection (for graph relationships), or accessed purely as key-value, and modeling accordingly.
  • Writing or debugging an AQL query, especially a graph traversal (FOR v, e, p IN ... GRAPH) that's slow or returns unexpected results.
  • Setting up or troubleshooting an ArangoDB cluster: coordinators, DB-servers (the actual data-holding shards), and the agency (Raft- based cluster metadata/consensus layer).
  • Choosing sharding keys for a document collection, or a graph's vertex collections, to avoid an unevenly loaded cluster.
  • Evaluating ArangoDB against running separate document/graph/key-value systems for a workload that genuinely spans all three access patterns.

Prerequisites & environment

  • ArangoDB 3.11+ assumed for the AQL syntax below; note that SmartGraphs (sharded graphs with locality-aware placement, an Enterprise Edition feature) require the Enterprise Edition, while standard (non-Smart) graphs and cluster mode itself are available in the Community Edition.
  • For cluster mode: at least 3 agency nodes (Raft consensus for cluster metadata — the same odd-quorum requirement as any Raft-based system elsewhere in this repo), at least 1 coordinator (stateless query-routing/aggregation layer that clients connect to), and at least 2 DB-servers per shard's replication factor (the nodes that actually store shard data).
  • arangosh (the ArangoDB shell) or the HTTP API for administrative operations; a user with the Administrate database access level for collection/index/graph management.
  • Familiarity with the workload's actual access pattern (pure document lookups vs. genuine multi-hop graph traversal vs. a mix) before choosing collection types and sharding keys — like Cassandra partition-key design, this is a decision that's expensive to change after data and shard layout are established.

arangodb-multi-model-database-operations is a skill published in the GitHub repository selvarajmurugesan90/ops-engineering-skills (38 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 3,937 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
