Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/thelobbi/claude --skill redis
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads redis automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Redis CLI Quick Reference

Connection

```bash

Connect

redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379 redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379 -a password

Test connection

redis-cli ping ```

Basic Operations

```bash

Strings

SET key "value" SET key "value" EX 3600 # With TTL GET key DEL key EXISTS key TTL key EXPIRE key 3600

Hashes

HSET user:1 name "John" age "30" HGET user:1 name HGETALL user:1 HDEL user:1 age

Python Redis Client

```python import redis from redis import asyncio as aioredis

Synchronous client

r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0, decode_responses=True)

Async client

async_redis = aioredis.from_url("redis://localhost:6379", decode_responses=True)

Basic operations

r.set('key', 'value', ex=3600) value = r.get('key') r.delete('key')

Hash operations

r.hset('user:1', mapping={'name': 'John', 'age': '30'}) user = r.hgetall('user:1')

List operations

r.lpush('queue', 'item1', 'item2') items = r.lrange('queue', 0, -1) item = r.rpop('queue')

Async operations

async def cache_get(key: str): async with aioredis.from_url("redis://localhost") as redis: return await redis.get(key) ```

Caching Patterns

Cache-Aside Pattern

```python async def get_agent(agent_id: str) -> dict: # Try cache first cache_key = f"agent:{agent_id}" cached = await redis.get(cache_key) if cached: return json.loads(cached)

# Cache miss - fetch from database
agent = await db.get_agent(agent_id)
if agent:
    await redis.set(cache_key, json.dumps(agent), ex=3600)

return agent

async def update_agent(agent_id: str, data: dict) -> dict: # Update database agent = await db.update_agent(agent_id, data)

# Invalidate cache
cache_key = f"agent:{agent_id}"
await redis.delete(cache_key)

return agent

```

Rate Limiting

```python async def rate_limit(key: str, limit: int, window: int) -> bool: """ Sliding window rate limiter. Returns True if request is allowed. """ current = int(time.time()) window_key = f"rate:{key}:{current // window}"

async with redis.pipeline() as pipe:
    pipe.incr(window_key)
    pipe.expire(window_key, window * 2)
    results = await pipe.execute()

count = results[0]
return count <= limit

Usage

if not await rate_limit(f"user:{user_id}", limit=100, window=60): raise HTTPException(status_code=429, detail="Rate limit exceeded") ```

Distributed Lock

```python import uuid

class DistributedLock: def init(self, redis_client, key: str, timeout: int = 10): self.redis = redis_client self.key = f"lock:{key}" self.timeout = timeout self.token = str(uuid.uuid4())

async def __aenter__(self):
    while True:
        acquired = await self.redis.set(
            self.key, self.token, nx=True, ex=self.timeout
        )
        if acquired:
            return self
        await asyncio.sleep(0.1)

async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
    # Only release if we own the lock
    script = """
    if redis.call("get", KEYS[1]) == ARGV[1] then
        return redis.call("del", KEYS[1])
    else
        return 0
    end
    """
    await self.redis.eval(script, 1, self.key, self.token)

Usage

async with DistributedLock(redis, "resource:123"): await do_critical_work() ```

Pub/Sub

```python

Publisher

async def publish_event(channel: str, message: dict): await redis.publish(channel, json.dumps(message))

Subscriber

async def subscribe_events(): pubsub = redis.pubsub() await pubsub.subscribe("agent:events")

async for message in pubsub.listen():
    if message["type"] == "message":
        data = json.loads(message["data"])
        await handle_event(data)

```

Session Management

```python from fastapi import Depends, HTTPException from fastapi.security import HTTPBearer import secrets

security = HTTPBearer()

async def create_session(user_id: str) -> str: session_id = secrets.token_urlsafe(32) session_key = f"session:{session_id}"

await redis.hset(session_key, mapping={
    "user_id": user_id,
    "created_at": datetime.utcnow().isoformat()
})
await redis.expire(session_key, 86400)  # 24 hours

return session_id

async def get_session(token: str = Depends(security)) -> dict: session_key = f"session:{token.credentials}" session = await redis.hgetall(session_key)

if not session:
    raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid session")

# Refresh TTL
await redis.expire(session_key, 86400)
return session

```

Best Practices

  1. Use connection pooling for production
  2. Set TTL on all keys to prevent memory bloat
  3. Use pipelining for batch operations
  4. Implement proper error handling for connection issues
  5. Monitor memory usage with INFO memory
  6. Use Lua scripts for atomic operations

FAQ

What does the redis skill do?

Redis caching, pub/sub, and data structures. Activate for Redis operations, caching strategies, session management, and message queuing.

How do I install redis?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/thelobbi/claude --skill redis in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/redis/ (personal) or .claude/skills/redis/ (project).

Which AI agents can use redis?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is redis safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

Who maintains redis?

It is published by thelobbi in thelobbi/claude. It has 46 recorded installs.

Popular data & databases skills

View category →

Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pgcron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pgrestore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
