redis-patterns
Redis data structure patterns, caching strategies, distributed locks
by affaan-mFree
Description
redis-patterns is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It is a quick reference of Redis practice for production backends, covering data structure patterns, caching strategies, distributed locks, rate limiting, pub/sub and connection management. It explains that single Redis commands are atomic on one instance, while multi-step work needs Lua scripts, MULTI and EXEC transactions or explicit synchronisation, and it notes that connection pools matter because each request should not pay for a new handshake. The skill includes a cheat sheet of data structures, covering strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets and streams. It applies when adding a cache, implementing rate limiting or throttling, building distributed locks, storing sessions or tokens, using pub/sub or streams for messaging, or configuring Redis in production for pooling, eviction and clustering. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows all three security audits passing.…

redis-patterns FAQ
What does the redis-patterns skill do?
It gives an agent Redis best practices for caching, rate limiting, locks, sessions, messaging and production setup.
Are Redis commands atomic?
Individual commands are atomic on a single instance. Multi-step workflows need Lua scripts, MULTI and EXEC, or explicit synchronisation, according to the skill.
What persistence options does it describe?
RDB snapshots and AOF logs.
How do I install it?
Run: npx skills add https://github.com/affaan-m/ecc --skill redis-patterns
Is it free?
Yes. It is free and open source.
Are there security findings?
The skills.sh listing shows Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk all passing.
