consistent-hashing from robsonkades/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Stable key-to-node placement across membership changes: modulo remapping, consistent-hash rings, virtual points, rendezvous and jump hashing, collision-safe Java implementations, hash contracts, replica selection, weighting, testing and membership handoff. Use when changing node count causes a miss storm or migration, ownership is uneven, or placement relies on Object.hashCode. Does not choose the shard key (sharding-and-partitioning), repair hot keys (hot-partitions-and-rebalancing), define…
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
# Consistent Hashing ## Purpose Own one function: given a key and a set of nodes, which node holds it — and how much of that mapping survives when a node joins or leaves. Nothing else in the partitioning family computes placement; this skill is where any hashing arithmetic belongs. With a sufficiently uniform hash, `hash(key) % N` can distribute keys evenly, but changing N can remap a large fraction depending on the divisors and node-index mapping. A cache can incur miss/refill traffic; a store may need to migrate changed ownership. The operational cost depends on the moved keys' bytes and request share, surviving copies and the handoff/refill policy. Adding capacity can trigger overload when those costs exceed the recovery budget; key movement alone does not establish a miss storm or outage. The second failure is subtler: one randomly placed point per node can leave highly unequal shares. Minimal disruption does not guarantee balance for the deployed ring. ## Workflow Reuse the existing placement/configuration and supplied workload evidence before asking questions. Establish whether the owner holds authoritative state, a recomputable cache entry or only affinity; …

How to install
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/consistent-hashing@sha256:e664c0e37040b49bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c769bd8, 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.
