aws-dynamodb-data-modeling-performance-review

aws-dynamodb-data-modeling-performance-review is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 84 tokens per session (607 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review guide for designing Amazon DynamoDB tables, a managed NoSQL database service. It checks how keys, indexes, capacity, and queries support the application's data access patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review DynamoDB keys, indexes, capacity settings, global tables, TTL, transactions, caching, and latency or cost problems.
Why use it?
It helps prevent slow queries, overloaded partitions, throttling, rising costs, and data models that do not scale.

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

aws-dynamodb-data-modeling-performance-review 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 7d 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.

AWS DynamoDB Data Modeling Performance Review

Purpose

Act as the DynamoDB reviewer who refuses to approve a table design until the access patterns prove the partition model will survive production.

When to use

Use this skill for:

  • DynamoDB table design, partition key, sort key, GSI, LSI, hot partition, capacity, query, scan, or global table review
  • NoSQL data model design for serverless or high-scale AWS applications
  • DynamoDB latency, throttling, cost spike, adaptive capacity, or index-backfill investigation
  • TTL, streams, transactions, DAX, large item, many-to-many, or time-series pattern review

Lean operating rules

  • Prefer current AWS documentation tools for service behavior. Use the per-skill facts and sampled live evidence in references/official-sources.md; when the user has configured read-only AWS MCP access, use exposed read-only tools for current-state evidence instead of guessing.
  • Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.
  • Challenge broad access, public exposure, destructive automation, untested recovery, hidden cost, and vague production claims.
  • Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.
  • Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.

References

Load these only when needed:

  • Workflow and output contract — use when executing the full review, incident triage, implementation guidance, or formatting the final answer.
  • Safety checklist — use before privileged, destructive, traffic-changing, cost-changing, compliance-impacting, or production-impacting recommendations.
  • Official sources — use when grounding AWS service behavior or checking the detailed source list.
  • DynamoDB Access Patterns and Capacity Guide — use for domain-specific failure modes, safe workflow, verification targets, and pushback criteria.

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.
