ScyllaDB questions are easy to answer from stale Cassandra memory or DynamoDB assumptions. Use this skill to ground answers in the official ScyllaDB documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic wide-column or NoSQL advice.
When to Use
Use this skill when the request is about:
- ScyllaDB concepts, architecture, shards, and Cassandra compatibility
- Getting started, installation, configuration, and cluster creation
- CQL syntax, schema design, query patterns, and ScyllaDB extensions
- Data modeling, large partitions, and query-first design
- Alternator: DynamoDB-compatible API behavior in ScyllaDB
- Shard-aware drivers for CQL and DynamoDB APIs
- Security: authentication, authorization, RBAC, and encryption in transit
- Cluster operations: repair, compaction, topology changes, and nodetool
- Change Data Capture (CDC), consistency, and lightweight transactions (LWT)
- ScyllaDB Cloud, Manager, Monitoring Stack, Operator, and Migrator
- Migration from Cassandra or DynamoDB to ScyllaDB
- Troubleshooting startup, cluster, schema, and performance issues
