Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned simba-git/redis-best-practices at 2242f6e31e.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides guidance on best practices for using Redis, a popular in-memory data store. It offers advice on topics like efficient data modeling, connection management, and security considerations to optimize performance and reliability. The skill aims to help developers avoid common pitfalls and build robust applications leveraging Redis.

When to use it

  • You're designing a new application that will utilize Redis for caching or session management.
  • Your existing Redis deployment is experiencing performance issues or instability.
  • You want to review your current Redis configuration against industry best practices.
  • You are troubleshooting connection errors or data inconsistencies in a Redis-backed system.

Key capabilities

  • Data modeling recommendations
  • Connection pooling strategies
  • Security hardening techniques
  • Performance optimization tips

Example prompts

  • "What are some best practices for designing a Redis schema to store user session data?"
  • "How can I improve the performance of my Redis cache?"
  • "Suggest ways to secure my Redis instance against unauthorized access."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes you have a basic understanding of Redis and its core concepts. While it offers general guidance, specific implementation details may vary depending on your application's architecture and requirements.
