janus-datalog: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/datalog/SKILL.md

datalog is a skill for Claude Code from wbrown/janus-datalog. It costs 163 tokens per session (5,752 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for querying janus-datalog databases, a data store made of connected facts rather than traditional tables. It also covers writing queries in the Datalog query language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query BadgerDB directories or EDN and JDZL data dumps, explore relationships, and work with Datalog queries in Go code.
Why use it?
It helps inspect unfamiliar data and debug queries when the information is stored as entities, attributes, and values.

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

datalog 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.

Datalog Query

Query janus-datalog databases for debugging and data exploration.

The user will provide a database path — a BadgerDB directory, an .edn dump, or a .jdzl (binary) dump — and describe what they want to know. Use the datalog CLI to run queries against the database. A path ending in .edn or .jdzl is loaded into a temporary database automatically (writes are discarded on exit).

Data Model

janus-datalog is a Datomic-style EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) store. All data is stored as datoms: [entity attribute value tx]. There are no tables — entities are just collections of attribute-value pairs, connected by shared entity IDs.

Attributes follow a namespaced keyword convention: :namespace/name (e.g., :person/name, :order/total). This means attributes cluster by namespace, which is useful when exploring unknown databases.

Storage is CRDT-backed (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types). Every write is preserved with a unique ElementID. Attribute cardinality determines conflict resolution:

Cardinality Behavior Example
One Last-Writer-Wins — only the latest value is returned by default :person/name, :person/age
Many Add-Wins Set — all distinct values are returned :person/tag, :person/role
Vector RGA — ordered list with deterministic merge :product/tags, :playlist/songs

Because all writes are preserved, you can time-travel: db.History() returns all raw datoms (no CRDT resolution), and db.AsOf(elementID) queries CRDT-resolved state as of a specific transaction.

Tool

Binary: ~/go/bin/datalog

Install if missing:

go install github.com/wbrown/janus-datalog/cmd/datalog@latest

Invocation

-db <path> accepts a BadgerDB database directory, an .edn dump file, or a .jdzl (compressed binary) dump file.

# Run a query
~/go/bin/datalog -db <path> -query '<EDN query>'

# With input bindings (repeatable, one per :in parameter after $)
~/go/bin/datalog -db <path> -query '<EDN query with :in>' -in '<EDN value>' [-in '<EDN value>' ...]

# With performance annotations
~/go/bin/datalog -db <path> -verbose -query '<EDN query>'

# Plan without executing: the compiled algebra, every optimizer rewrite
# decision (applied or declined with the reason), and the physical plan
~/go/bin/datalog -db <path> -plan-only -query '<EDN query>'

# Export entire database to readable EDN (useful for small DBs)
~/go/bin/datalog -db <path> -export <output.edn>

# Export to compressed binary JDZL instead (smaller, faster than EDN)
~/go/bin/datalog -db <path> -export-bin <output.jdzl>

# Per-attribute statistics: cardinality, value sizes, duplication, CRDT ops
~/go/bin/datalog -db <path> -stats

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.

datalog is a skill published in the GitHub repository wbrown/janus-datalog (51 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 163 tokens to every session and 5,752 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
