scylladb — Claude Code plugin: ScyllaDB skills and install
Eight skills covering ScyllaDB: CQL data modeling, Vector Search, Alternator, Kubernetes and benchmarking. Useful when your agent writes ScyllaDB code.
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install scylladb@claude-communityWhat scylladb does
The plugin drops eight skills into Claude. A parent scylladb skill opens with an overview and points to the rest: connecting to a ScyllaDB Cloud cluster, the Cloud MCP server for cluster management, CQL data modeling, Vector Search, the DynamoDB-compatible Alternator API, running ScyllaDB on Kubernetes through the ScyllaDB Operator, and load testing with cassandra-stress.
Everything follows the Agent Skills format, so the agent reads them as ordinary instructions. You can pull the whole set or pick skills by name, say only scylladb-data-modeling. Porting a DynamoDB app? The Alternator skill flags the difference up front: there is no single endpoint the way real DynamoDB has one, and auth goes through CQL roles.
The benchmark skill assumes a ScyllaDB Cloud cluster on AWS, with loaders reached over VPC peering. Skip that setup and the recipe has nothing to run against. Validating the skills locally needs Go, since the validator installs with go install.
What it helps with
- connect to a ScyllaDB Cloud cluster and verify the connection
- design CQL tables that avoid hot partitions
- set up Vector Search and ANN queries
- move an app from DynamoDB to Alternator
- deploy ScyllaDB on Kubernetes with the operator
Example prompts for the agent
- Walk me through connecting to a ScyllaDB Cloud cluster, driver included
- Design CQL tables for a query that fetches a user's latest orders
- Set up Vector Search on ScyllaDB Cloud and show an ANN query example

Questions about scylladb
How do I install scylladb in Claude Code?
From the plugin marketplace: run /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community first, then /plugin install scylladb@claude-community.
What does scylladb do?
It gives the agent ScyllaDB knowledge: CQL data modeling, Vector Search, Alternator, Kubernetes and benchmarking. The parent scylladb skill is the entry point and maps the others.
Can I install only some of the skills?
Yes, each skill installs on its own by name, for example npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb-data-modeling. Installing the full set is also an option.

# ScyllaDB Agent Skills Collection of ScyllaDB agent skills for use in agentic workflows. These skills provide coding agents with deep knowledge of ScyllaDB. ## Installation ### CLI **Recommended**: install the `scylladb` parent skill. It gives the agent an overview of ScyllaDB and a map of the other skills. ```sh npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb ``` Install all skills: ```sh npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills ``` #### Install specific skills ```sh npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb-cloud-setup npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb-cloud-mcp npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb-data-modeling npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb-vector-search npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb-alternator npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb-kubernetes npx skills add scylladb/agent-skills --skill scylladb-benchmark ``` ### Claude Code plugin Coming soon. ### Cursor plugin Available on the Cursor Marketplace: [ScyllaDB Agent Skills](https://cursor.com/marketplace/scylla-db). ```sh /add-plugin scylladb ``` ### Manual install Clone this repo and copy the skill folders into the appropriate directory for your agent: | Agent | Skill Directory | Docs | |-------|-----------------|------| | Claude Code | `~/.claude/skills/` | [docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills) | | Cursor | `~/.cursor/skills/` | [docs](https://cursor.com/docs/context/skills) | | OpenCode | `~/.config/opencode/skills/` | [docs](https://opencode.ai/docs/skills/) | | OpenAI Codex | `~/.codex/skills/` | [docs](https://developers.openai.com/codex/skills/) | | Pi | `~/.pi/agent/skills/` | [docs](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/tree/main/packages/coding-agent#skills) | ## Skills | Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | [scylladb](skills/scylladb/SKILL.md) | Start here. Overview of ScyllaDB and a map of the other skills. | | [scylladb-cloud-setup](skills/scylladb-cloud-setup/SKILL.md) | Guide users through connecting to a ScyllaDB Cloud cluster — credentials, drivers, and connection verification. | | [scylladb-cloud-mcp](skills/scylladb-cloud-mcp/SKILL.md) | Set up and use the ScyllaDB Cloud MCP server to manage ScyllaDB Cloud clusters via AI agents. | | [scylladb-data-modeling](skills/scylladb-data-modeling/SKILL.md) | CQL data modeling patterns and anti-patterns.

Measure the maximum 50/50 read/write rate at p99 ≤ 10 ms with a measured default recipe, or test the workload of your app, and get a repeatable report with p50, p90, and p99 latency. | The skills follow the [Agent Skills format](https://agentskills.io). ## Development See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the contribution process and [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the skill authoring rules. AI coding agents read `AGENTS.md` (Claude Code reads it through `CLAUDE.md`). ### Validating skills locally Install the validator (requires [Go](https://go.dev/doc/install)): ```sh go install github.com/agent-ecosystem/skill-validator/cmd/skill-validator@latest ``` Validate all skills: ```sh ./tests/validate-skills.sh ``` Validate a specific skill: ```sh ./tests/validate-skills.sh skills/scylladb-cloud-setup/ ``` ## ScyllaDB Cloud MCP Server The [ScyllaDB Cloud MCP server](https://cloud.docs.scylladb.com/master/api-docs/mcp) enables AI agents to manage ScyllaDB Cloud clusters programmatically: create clusters, monitor health, configure networking, and more.
