Calculate and recommend optimal YugabyteDB cluster sizing based on workload inputs. Use this skill whenever the user asks about YugabyteDB cluster sizing, capacity planning, node count, vCPU requirements, storage sizing, memory recommendations, or wants to know how many nodes they need for a given workload. Trigger when user mentions "size my cluster", "how many nodes", "YugabyteDB capacity", "YugabyteDB hardware requirements", QPS with YugabyteDB, or asks about CPU/storage/memory for a…

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

# YugabyteDB Cluster Sizing Calculator

Size a YugabyteDB cluster from workload inputs: node count, vCPU, memory, storage, IOPS, disk
throughput, network and failure resilience, targeting ≤65% CPU. **Always run the bundled script**
(`scripts/sizing_calc.py`) — never compute by hand.

Rules:
- RF must be 1, 3, 5 or 7 (the script rejects others). Never recommend RF=1 for production.
- **Always state that the sizing is indicative** and that the user should test with their actual
  workload to fine-tune production sizing.
- CPU comes from measured CPU cost per operation (transactional, point-select and YCQL key-value benchmarks), not
  from latency. Details: [references/cpu-model.md](references/cpu-model.md).

## Workflow

1. **Pick the API.** `--api ysql` (default) or `--api ycql`. Cassandra, CQL, port 9042, partition
   keys or TTL → YCQL; PostgreSQL, SQL, joins or port 5433 → YSQL. Ask if unclear.
2. **Gather inputs** (table below). Ask for the required ones; use defaults for the rest.
3. **Choose the CPU basis, best first:**
   1. *Calibration* — if the user has a running cluster or PoC with a similar mix, ask for its QPS

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add srinivasa-vasu/agent-skills/yugabytedb-sizing@sha256:8bb085b36f6c04e9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.886b94c, 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.
