projection-patterns

Helps your agent create data views from events. It's useful for optimizing queries and having data ready for quick reading.

What it does

This tool helps organize and summarize past event information so you can query it quickly. It's like creating an organized summary from many notes to find what you need without rereading everything.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need a quick summary of historical data.
  • ✓To create reports showing key information in an organized way.
  • ✓If you want data queries to be faster and more efficient.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Help me create a summary of customer orders from the last 3 months so I can see which products sold the most.”

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/blob/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/projection-patterns/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

The tool reads a continuous flow of events (like action logs) and organizes them into a format that's easier to query. It creates specific 'views' of the data optimized for answering questions.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill projection-patterns

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/projection-patterns/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

Projection Patterns

Comprehensive guide to building projections and read models for event-sourced systems.

Use this skill when

  • Building CQRS read models
  • Creating materialized views from events
  • Optimizing query performance
  • Implementing real-time dashboards
  • Building search indexes from events
  • Aggregating data across streams

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to projection patterns
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
FAQ

What are 'event streams'?

They are like a diary where each important action or event is recorded in order. For example, 'customer X bought product Y' would be an event.

What are 'read models' and 'projections'?

They are ways to organize and present data from 'event streams' in a way that's easy to read and use for answering specific questions. Think of them as different summaries or tables created from the original diary.

What does optimizing query performance mean?

It means making the search for information within the data much faster, saving time and resources.
