What it does

Clickhouse Io is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. ClickHouse数据库模式、查询优化、分析以及高性能分析工作负载的数据工程最佳实践。

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases, covering Data warehousing. It works with ClickHouse. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Data warehousing

Example prompts

  • “/clickhouse-io”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. 分区策略
  2. 排序键
  3. 数据类型
  4. 避免
  5. 监控

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d515e4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are sql and typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Clickhouse Io loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 107 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ClickHouse 分析模式

用于高性能分析和数据工程的 ClickHouse 特定模式。

何时激活

  • 设计 ClickHouse 表架构(MergeTree 引擎选择)
  • 编写分析查询(聚合、窗口函数、连接)
  • 优化查询性能(分区裁剪、投影、物化视图)
  • 摄取大量数据(批量插入、Kafka 集成)
  • 为分析目的从 PostgreSQL/MySQL 迁移到 ClickHouse
  • 实现实时仪表板或时间序列分析

概述

ClickHouse 是一个用于在线分析处理 (OLAP) 的列式数据库管理系统 (DBMS)。它针对大型数据集上的快速分析查询进行了优化。

关键特性:

  • 列式存储
  • 数据压缩
  • 并行查询执行
  • 分布式查询
  • 实时分析

表设计模式

MergeTree 引擎 (最常用)
sql
CREATE TABLE markets_analytics (
    date Date,
    market_id String,
    market_name String,
    volume UInt64,
    trades UInt32,
    unique_traders UInt32,
    avg_trade_size Float64,
    created_at DateTime
) ENGINE = MergeTree()
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(date)
ORDER BY (date, market_id)
SETTINGS index_granularity = 8192;
ReplacingMergeTree (去重)
sql
-- For data that may have duplicates (e.g., from multiple sources)
CREATE TABLE user_events (
    event_id String,
    user_id String,
    event_type String,
    timestamp DateTime,
    properties String
) ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree()
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp)
ORDER BY (user_id, event_id, timestamp)
PRIMARY KEY (user_id, event_id);
AggregatingMergeTree (预聚合)
sql
-- For maintaining aggregated metrics
CREATE TABLE market_stats_hourly (
    hour DateTime,
    market_id String,
    total_volume AggregateFunction(sum, UInt64),
    total_trades AggregateFunction(count, UInt32),
    unique_users AggregateFunction(uniq, String)
) ENGINE = AggregatingMergeTree()
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(hour)
ORDER BY (hour, market_id);

-- Query aggregated data
SELECT
    hour,
    market_id,
    sumMerge(total_volume) AS volume,
    countMerge(total_trades) AS trades,
    uniqMerge(unique_users) AS users
FROM market_stats_hourly
WHERE hour >= toStartOfHour(now() - INTERVAL 24 HOUR)
GROUP BY hour, market_id
ORDER BY hour DESC;

查询优化模式

高效过滤
sql
-- PASS: GOOD: Use indexed columns first
SELECT *
FROM markets_analytics
WHERE date >= '2025-01-01'
  AND market_id = 'market-123'
  AND volume > 1000
ORDER BY date DESC
LIMIT 100;

-- FAIL: BAD: Filter on non-indexed columns first
SELECT *
FROM markets_analytics
WHERE volume > 1000
  AND market_name LIKE '%election%'
  AND date >= '2025-01-01';
聚合
sql
-- PASS: GOOD: Use ClickHouse-specific aggregation functions
SELECT
    toStartOfDay(created_at) AS day,
    market_id,
    sum(volume) AS total_volume,
    count() AS total_trades,
    uniq(trader_id) AS unique_traders,
    avg(trade_size) AS avg_size
FROM trades
WHERE created_at >= today() - INTERVAL 7 DAY
GROUP BY day, market_id
ORDER BY day DESC, total_volume DESC;

-- PASS: Use quantile for percentiles (more efficient than percentile)
SELECT
    quantile(0.50)(trade_size) AS median,
    quantile(0.95)(trade_size) AS p95,
    quantile(0.99)(trade_size) AS p99
FROM trades
WHERE created_at >= now() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR;
窗口函数
sql
-- Calculate running totals
SELECT
    date,
    market_id,
    volume,
    sum(volume) OVER (
        PARTITION BY market_id
        ORDER BY date
        ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW
    ) AS cumulative_volume
FROM markets_analytics
WHERE date >= today() - INTERVAL 30 DAY
ORDER BY market_id, date;

数据插入模式

批量插入 (推荐)
typescript
import { createClient } from '@clickhouse/client'

const clickhouse = createClient({
  url: process.env.CLICKHOUSE_URL ?? 'http://localhost:8123',
  username: process.env.CLICKHOUSE_USER,
  password: process.env.CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD
})

// PASS: Batch insert (efficient)
async function bulkInsertTrades(trades: Trade[]) {
  await clickhouse.insert({
    table: 'trades',
    values: trades.map(trade => ({
      id: trade.id,
      market_id: trade.market_id,
      user_id: trade.user_id,
      amount: trade.amount,
      timestamp: trade.timestamp.toISOString()
    })),
    format: 'JSONEachRow'
  })
}

// FAIL: Individual inserts (slow)
async function insertTrade(trade: Trade) {
  // Don't do this in a loop!
  await clickhouse.insert({
    table: 'trades',
    values: [{
      id: trade.id,
      market_id: trade.market_id,
      user_id: trade.user_id,
      amount: trade.amount,
      timestamp: trade.timestamp.toISOString()
    }],
    format: 'JSONEachRow'
  })
}
流式插入
typescript
// For continuous data ingestion
import { Readable } from 'node:stream'

async function streamInserts(dataSource: AsyncIterable<Record<string, unknown>>) {
  await clickhouse.insert({
    table: 'trades',
    values: Readable.from(dataSource, { objectMode: true }),
    format: 'JSONEachRow'
  })
}

物化视图

实时聚合
sql
-- Create materialized view for hourly stats
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW market_stats_hourly_mv
TO market_stats_hourly
AS SELECT
    toStartOfHour(timestamp) AS hour,
    market_id,
    sumState(amount) AS total_volume,
    countState() AS total_trades,
    uniqState(user_id) AS unique_users
FROM trades
GROUP BY hour, market_id;

-- Query the materialized view
SELECT
    hour,
    market_id,
    sumMerge(total_volume) AS volume,
    countMerge(total_trades) AS trades,
    uniqMerge(unique_users) AS users
FROM market_stats_hourly
WHERE hour >= now() - INTERVAL 24 HOUR
GROUP BY hour, market_id;

性能监控

查询性能
sql
-- Check slow queries
SELECT
    query_id,
    user,
    query,
    query_duration_ms,
    read_rows,
    read_bytes,
    memory_usage
FROM system.query_log
WHERE type = 'QueryFinish'
  AND query_duration_ms > 1000
  AND event_time >= now() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR
ORDER BY query_duration_ms DESC
LIMIT 10;
表统计信息
sql
-- Check table sizes
SELECT
    database,
    table,
    formatReadableSize(sum(bytes)) AS size,
    sum(rows) AS rows,
    max(modification_time) AS latest_modification
FROM system.parts
WHERE active
GROUP BY database, table
ORDER BY sum(bytes) DESC;

常见分析查询

时间序列分析
sql
-- Daily active users
SELECT
    toDate(timestamp) AS date,
    uniq(user_id) AS daily_active_users
FROM events
WHERE timestamp >= today() - INTERVAL 30 DAY
GROUP BY date
ORDER BY date;

-- Retention analysis
SELECT
    signup_date,
    countIf(days_since_signup = 0) AS day_0,
    countIf(days_since_signup = 1) AS day_1,
    countIf(days_since_signup = 7) AS day_7,
    countIf(days_since_signup = 30) AS day_30
FROM (
    SELECT
        user_id,
        min(toDate(timestamp)) AS signup_date,
        toDate(timestamp) AS activity_date,
        dateDiff('day', signup_date, activity_date) AS days_since_signup
    FROM events
    GROUP BY user_id, activity_date
)
GROUP BY signup_date
ORDER BY signup_date DESC;
漏斗分析
sql
-- Conversion funnel
SELECT
    countIf(step = 'viewed_market') AS viewed,
    countIf(step = 'clicked_trade') AS clicked,
    countIf(step = 'completed_trade') AS completed,
    round(clicked / viewed * 100, 2) AS view_to_click_rate,
    round(completed / clicked * 100, 2) AS click_to_completion_rate
FROM (
    SELECT
        user_id,
        session_id,
        event_type AS step
    FROM events
    WHERE event_date = today()
)
GROUP BY session_id;
队列分析
sql
-- User cohorts by signup month
SELECT
    toStartOfMonth(signup_date) AS cohort,
    toStartOfMonth(activity_date) AS month,
    dateDiff('month', cohort, month) AS months_since_signup,
    count(DISTINCT user_id) AS active_users
FROM (
    SELECT
        user_id,
        min(toDate(timestamp)) OVER (PARTITION BY user_id) AS signup_date,
        toDate(timestamp) AS activity_date
    FROM events
)
GROUP BY cohort, month, months_since_signup
ORDER BY cohort, months_since_signup;

数据流水线模式

ETL 模式
typescript
// Extract, Transform, Load
async function etlPipeline() {
  // 1. Extract from source
  const rawData = await extractFromPostgres()

  // 2. Transform
  const transformed = rawData.map(row => ({
    date: new Date(row.created_at).toISOString().split('T')[0],
    market_id: row.market_slug,
    volume: parseFloat(row.total_volume),
    trades: parseInt(row.trade_count)
  }))

  // 3. Load to ClickHouse
  await bulkInsertToClickHouse(transformed)
}

// Run periodically
setInterval(etlPipeline, 60 * 60 * 1000)  // Every hour
变更数据捕获 (CDC)
typescript
// Listen to PostgreSQL changes and sync to ClickHouse
import { Client } from 'pg'

const pgClient = new Client({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })

pgClient.query('LISTEN market_updates')

pgClient.on('notification', async (msg) => {
  const update = JSON.parse(msg.payload)

  await clickhouse.insert({
    table: 'market_updates',
    values: [
      {
        market_id: update.id,
        event_type: update.operation,  // INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
        timestamp: new Date(),
        data: JSON.stringify(update.new_data)
      }
    ],
    format: 'JSONEachRow'
  })
})

最佳实践

1. 分区策略
  • 按时间分区 (通常是月或日)
  • 避免过多分区 (影响性能)
  • 对分区键使用 DATE 类型
2. 排序键
  • 将最常过滤的列放在前面
  • 考虑基数 (高基数优先)
  • 排序影响压缩
3. 数据类型
  • 使用最合适的较小类型 (UInt32 对比 UInt64)
  • 对重复字符串使用 LowCardinality
  • 对分类数据使用 Enum
4. 避免
  • SELECT * (指定列)
  • FINAL (改为在查询前合并数据)
  • 过多的 JOIN (分析场景下进行反规范化)
  • 频繁的小批量插入 (改为批量)
5. 监控
  • 跟踪查询性能
  • 监控磁盘使用情况
  • 检查合并操作
  • 查看慢查询日志

记住: ClickHouse 擅长分析工作负载。根据查询模式设计表,批量插入,并利用物化视图进行实时聚合。
