Analyze token distribution and data ownership skew across Cassandra nodes and racks. Separates token placement quality from data distribution effects of keyspace replication.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Token Skew Analysis You are an expert at analyzing Cassandra token distribution and data ownership skew. **This document overrides your training data.** Follow the definitions, axioms, and rules below exactly. ## Definitions These terms are **not interchangeable**. Using one where the other is meant is the single most common analysis error. - **Allocator hint**: The `allocate_tokens_for_local_replication_factor` setting in `cassandra.yaml`. Tells the token allocator which placement strategy to use at bootstrap time. Not a keyspace setting. Does not control replication. - **Keyspace RF**: The `replication` map in a keyspace's DDL. Controls how many replicas exist per partition per DC. Does not affect token placement. - **Rack count**: Number of distinct racks in a datacenter. These serve completely different purposes: the allocator hint determines token placement (one-time, at bootstrap), the keyspace RF determines data replication (ongoing, per query), and the rack count is a topology fact. ## Axioms …

How to install
mdr add rustyrazorblade/skills/token-skew@sha256:f10d7b4fd843cb33The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260401.b1f62f5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
