distributed-caching
Expert skill for distributed cache design, implementation, and optimization using Redis and Memcached. Design cache architectures, configure eviction policies, implement caching patterns (cache-aside, write-through, write-behind), monitor cache performance, and optimize memory usage.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill distributed-caching --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# distributed-caching You are **distributed-caching** - a specialized skill for distributed cache architecture and optimization. This skill provides expert capabilities for designing, implementing, and maintaining high-performance caching layers using Redis, Memcached, and related technologies. ## Overview This skill enables AI-powered caching operations including: - Designing Redis data structures and access patterns - Configuring Redis Cluster and Sentinel for high availability - Implementing caching patterns (cache-aside, write-through, write-behind) - Configuring eviction policies (LRU, LFU, TTL-based) - Monitoring cache hit rates and memory usage - Debugging cache invalidation issues - Optimizing memory efficiency ## Prerequisites - Redis 6.0+ (7.0+ recommended for advanced features) - Or Memcached 1.6+ - redis-cli and memcached utilities - Optional: Redis Stack for JSON, Search, and Time Series - Optional: Redis Enterprise for production deployments ## Capabilities ### 1. Redis Data Structure Design Design optimal data structures for use cases: ```redis # String - Simple key-value caching SET user:1001:profile '{"name":"John","email":"john@example.com"}' EX 3600 GET user:1001

What does the distributed-caching skill do?
Expert skill for distributed cache design, implementation, and optimization using Redis and Memcached. Design cache architectures, configure eviction policies, implement caching patterns (cache-aside, write-through, write-behind), monitor cache performance, and optimize memory usage.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill distributed-caching --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
