NestJS backend development patterns for the RedisInsight API: module structure, services, controllers, DTOs, dependency injection, and error handling. Use when editing any file under redisinsight/api/**, writing or modifying NestJS modules, controllers, services, DTOs, providers, or when the user mentions the backend, API, or NestJS.

Code-quality standards for RedisInsight: TypeScript strictness, naming conventions (camelCase, PascalCase, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE), linting rules, no `any` without reason, no `!important` in styles, and constant extraction. Use when writing or refactoring any TypeScript/JavaScript code in this repo, when ESLint or Prettier issues come up, or when the user mentions code style, lint, naming conventions, or general code quality.

Playwright end-to-end testing standards for RedisInsight: page object models, test structure, fixtures, navigation patterns, and flaky-test prevention. Use when editing files under tests/e2e-playwright/**, writing Playwright tests, adding page objects, or when the user mentions Playwright, E2E tests, page objects, or end-to-end testing.

React/Redux frontend development patterns for RedisInsight UI: component folder structure, styled-components, hooks, named exports, barrel files, layout components, and theme usage. Use when editing any file under redisinsight/ui/**, writing or modifying React components, Redux slices, styled-components, custom hooks, or when the user mentions UI, frontend, React, Redux, or styled-components.

Critical safety guardrails for protected branches: never commit, push, or force-push directly to main, latest, or release branches; no destructive history rewrites without explicit user approval. Use before any git operation that touches protected branches, before force-push, reset --hard, history rewrite, or branch deletion, or whenever the user asks about merging, pushing, or release branches.

Unit/integration testing standards for RedisInsight using Jest and Testing Library: test structure, the `renderComponent` helper, faker for test data, mocking patterns, and `waitFor` instead of fixed time waits. Use when writing or modifying any `*.spec.ts` or `*.spec.tsx` file, when adding component or slice tests, when debugging flaky tests, or when the user mentions jest, testing library, faker, or test patterns.

Create and name git branches following project conventions. Use when creating branches, checking out new branches, or the user mentions branch naming.

Run, refresh, or recover from RedisInsight's per-project TypeScript error baselines (.tscheck.rec.json). Use when CI reports "baseline is outdated" or "more TS errors than previously recorded", when the user mentions tscheck / type-check / .tscheck.rec.json, when introducing or fixing TS errors, or when reviewing PRs that touch baseline files.

Use when agents need persistent shared storage, when saving or restoring workspace state, or when coordinating file access across multiple agents and machines. Creates Redis-backed workspaces, checkpoints and restores agent state, mounts shared filesystems locally, searches workspace contents, and forks workspaces for parallel work.

Persistent Redis-backed workspaces for agents. Use via `afs mcp`, the `afs` CLI, sync mode, live mounts, and explicit checkpoints.

Use when the user wants to migrate Codex state in ~/.codex into Agent Filesystem and mount the same shared Codex memory/settings across multiple computers. Recommends a .afsignore before migration and defaults to excluding worktrees, caches, logs, and temporary files.

"Use before writing, modifying, or reviewing code when the {{serverName}} MCP server is connected. Read the relevant standards files live from standards/, cite the specific path you used, and treat the workspace as read-only."

"Use when Codex has access to the {{serverName}} AFS shared-memory MCP server, or when the user asks to check shared memory, prior cross-agent context, durable learnings, memory entries, workspace memory, saved commands, acronyms, aliases, shorthand such as CPP/CCP, /memory-search, or /memory-record. Before any non-trivial answer in a connected project, fresh-search /shared-memory for the task's key nouns, read relevant entries, and build on them instead of re-deriving. After discovering a durable reusable fact, write a new dated memory entry and append a pointer to /shared-memory/index.md. Skip trivial, purely conversational, or session-only tasks."

"Use when answering non-trivial questions in a project connected to the {{serverName}} MCP server (tools prefixed {{toolPrefix}}*). Read wiki/index.md first, search wiki/ for key nouns, cite relevant wiki paths, and offer to file durable answers back into the Shared LLM Wiki (Karpathy style). When ingesting sources from raw/, update source/topic/entity pages plus wiki/index.md and append to wiki/log.md."

"Use when coordinating project work through the {{serverName}} MCP server: reading the spec, claiming tasks, updating in-progress work, recording done work, or writing open questions. Preserve per-owner task files and append-only shared docs."

Manage Agent Filesystem through the control-plane MCP server. Use when the `agent-filesystem` MCP server is available, or when the user asks Codex to list, create, fork, checkpoint, delete, or connect AFS workspaces using a control-plane token.

Iris is Redis's umbrella for AI-focused products. Use this skill when integrating with the Iris Redis Agent Memory (RAM) data plane on Redis Cloud — recording session events for an AI agent, creating or searching long-term memories, configuring a memory store, or tuning background memory promotion. Code examples use the official `redis-agent-memory` (Python) and `@redis-iris/agent-memory` (TypeScript) SDKs.

Redis Cluster and replication guidance covering hash tags for multi-key operations, avoiding CROSSSLOT errors, and reading from replicas to scale read-heavy workloads. Use when designing keys for a sharded Redis Cluster, debugging CROSSSLOT errors on MGET / SDIFF / pipelines, configuring a multi-key transaction in a cluster, or routing reads to replicas for caches, analytics, or dashboards.

Redis client and connection guidance covering connection pooling, multiplexing, pipelining, client-side caching with RESP3, avoiding slow commands (KEYS, SMEMBERS, HGETALL), and tuning socket timeouts. Use when configuring a Redis client (redis-py, Jedis, Lettuce, NRedisStack), batching commands for throughput, eliminating per-request connection creation, iterating large keyspaces with SCAN, enabling client-side caching for read-heavy workloads, or setting connect and read timeouts.

Core Redis modeling guidance — choose the right data structure (String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set, JSON, Stream, Vector Set) and use consistent colon-separated key names. Use when designing a Redis data model, caching objects, deciding between Hash and JSON, building counters, leaderboards, membership sets, or session stores, or when reviewing/cleaning up Redis key naming.

Redis observability guidance — which metrics to monitor (memory, connections, hit ratio, ops/sec, rejected connections), which built-in commands to reach for during incident triage (SLOWLOG, INFO, MEMORY DOCTOR, CLIENT LIST, FT.PROFILE), and when to use the Redis Insight GUI. Use when setting up monitoring or alerts for a Redis instance, diagnosing a performance regression, profiling a slow FT.SEARCH query, or wiring Redis metrics into Prometheus, Datadog, or similar.

Redis Query Engine (RQE) guidance covering FT.CREATE schema design, field type selection (TEXT, TAG, NUMERIC, GEO, GEOSHAPE, VECTOR), DIALECT 2 query syntax, efficient FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE queries, zero-downtime index updates via aliases, and the SKIPINITIALSCAN option. Use when defining a search index on Hash or JSON documents, picking between TEXT and TAG for filtering, writing FT.SEARCH queries with filters and SORTBY, managing or swapping indexes in production, or troubleshooting slow searches with FT.PROFILE.

Redis security guidance covering authentication (requirepass and ACL users), TLS, ACL-based least-privilege access control, restricting network exposure via bind and protected-mode, firewall rules, and disabling dangerous commands. Use when deploying Redis to production, defining ACL users for an application, configuring TLS connections, locking down a Redis instance behind a firewall, or auditing a Redis deployment for security hardening.

Redis LangCache guidance for semantic caching of LLM responses on Redis Cloud — calling search/set via the SDK or REST API, tuning the similarity threshold, separating caches per task type, and filtering with custom attributes. Use when caching LLM completions or RAG answers to cut API cost and latency, building a cache-aside layer in front of OpenAI / Anthropic / etc., tuning hit rate vs precision, or splitting one app's LLM workloads into multiple LangCache caches.

Port a Redis use-case example (cache-aside, session store, rate limiter, leaderboard, etc.) to all 9 supported client libraries in parallel, with cross-client synthesis and audit

Generate tabbed code examples (TCEs) for Redis commands across all supported client languages

Extract Redis CLI examples from documentation pages, identify which commands are demonstrated, and determine what multi-language code examples need to be created or updated.

Install and configure redisctl CLI for Redis Cloud, Enterprise, and direct database access. Use when setting up redisctl for the first time, creating profiles, or configuring shell completions.

Use when creating, validating, or extending demo business domains in this repo. Covers the required DomainPack contract, fixed folder layout, scaffold command, validation flow, smoke testing, and the rules for keeping framework code separate from domain-specific code.
