Managing Database Replication
This skill enables Claude to manage database replication, failover, and high availability configurations using the database-replication-manager plugin. It is designed to assist with tasks such as setting up master-slave replication, configuring automatic failover, monitoring replication lag, and implementing read scaling. Use this skill when the user requests help with "database replication", "failover configuration", "high availability", "replication lag", or "read scaling" for databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL. The plugin facilitates both physical and logical replication strategies.

name: Managing Database Replication description: | This skill enables Claude to manage database replication, failover, and high availability configurations using the database-replication-manager plugin. It is designed to assist with tasks such as setting up master-slave replication, configuring automatic failover, monitoring replication lag, and implementing read scaling. Use this skill when the user requests help with "database replication", "failover configuration", "high availability", "replication lag", or "read scaling" for databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL. The plugin facilitates both physical and logical replication strategies.
Overview
This skill empowers Claude to automate and streamline database replication processes, ensuring high availability and data consistency across multiple database instances. It simplifies the configuration and management of complex replication topologies.
How It Works
- Initialization: The skill activates the database-replication-manager plugin upon detecting relevant keywords.
- Configuration: The skill prompts the user for database connection details, replication type (physical/logical), and desired configuration parameters (e.g., failover settings, replication lag thresholds).
- Implementation: The plugin generates and executes the necessary commands to configure database replication based on the user's specifications.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Set up a new database replication environment.
- Configure automatic failover for a database cluster.
- Monitor replication lag and trigger alerts based on defined thresholds.
- Implement read scaling by distributing read queries across multiple replicas.
Examples
Example 1: Setting up Master-Slave Replication
User request: "Set up master-slave replication for my PostgreSQL database with automatic failover."
The skill will:
- Activate the database-replication-manager plugin.
- Guide the user through the configuration process, prompting for connection details and failover settings.
- Generate and execute the necessary PostgreSQL commands to establish master-slave replication and configure automatic failover.
Example 2: Monitoring Replication Lag
User request: "Monitor replication lag on my MySQL replica and alert me if it exceeds 5 seconds."
The skill will:
- Activate the database-replication-manager plugin.
- Configure replication lag monitoring for the specified MySQL replica.
- Set up alerts that trigger when the replication lag exceeds the defined threshold of 5 seconds.
Best Practices
- Security: Always encrypt database credentials and use secure communication channels for replication traffic.
- Monitoring: Implement comprehensive monitoring of replication status, lag, and resource utilization.
- Testing: Regularly test failover procedures to ensure they function correctly in a disaster recovery scenario.
Integration
This skill can be integrated with other monitoring and alerting tools to provide comprehensive database management capabilities. It can also be used in conjunction with infrastructure-as-code tools to automate the deployment and configuration of database replication environments.

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".

It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
