ClickHouse schema design and optimization. TRIGGERS - ClickHouse schema, compression codecs, MergeTree, ORDER BY tuning, partition key.

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

# ClickHouse Architect

<!-- ADR: 2025-12-09-clickhouse-architect-skill -->

Prescriptive schema design, compression selection, and performance optimization for ClickHouse (v24.4+). Covers both ClickHouse Cloud (SharedMergeTree) and self-hosted (ReplicatedMergeTree) deployments.

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

- Designing ClickHouse table schemas with ORDER BY key selection
- Selecting compression codecs for column types
- Configuring partition keys for data lifecycle management
- Adding performance accelerators (projections, indexes, dictionaries)
- Auditing and optimizing existing ClickHouse schemas

## Core Methodology

### Schema Design Workflow

Follow this sequence when designing or reviewing ClickHouse schemas:

1. **Define ORDER BY key** (3-5 columns, lowest cardinality first)
2. **Select compression codecs** per column type
3. **Configure PARTITION BY** for data lifecycle management

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/clickhouse-architect@sha256:43818defac10b1a3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260401.d376871, 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.
