What it does

Commandkit Redis is an agent skill from neplexlabs/commandkit. Add Redis-backed shared infrastructure with @commandkit/redis for cache, mutex, semaphore, and distributed state patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/00-filesystem-structure.md` and `references/01-plugin-setup.md`).

It sits in Databases. It works with Redis. The repository describes itself as: The discord.js meta-framework with features such as AI-powered command handler, analytics, feature flags, and more. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Databases work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/commandkit-redis”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Initialize Redis client with env-based config.
  2. Wire cache provider and/or synchronization storages.
  3. Validate behavior across multiple runtime instances.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d771e6b. 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.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Commandkit Redis loads about 467 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~467
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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.

CommandKit Redis Integrations

Activation guidance

Use for multi-instance or distributed coordination scenarios.

Required filesystem expectations

  • central Redis bootstrap module (for example src/bootstrap/redis.ts)
  • plugin/provider wiring in startup or config layer

Execution workflow

  1. Initialize Redis client with env-based config.
  2. Wire cache provider and/or synchronization storages.
  3. Validate behavior across multiple runtime instances.

Guardrails

  • Keep credentials out of source control.
  • Keep key naming/TTL conventions explicit and documented.
