managing-database-replication

Quick Review

This skill provides a generic workflow template for database replication but lacks specific technical guidance. The description mentions 'replication and sharding with comprehensive guidance and automation' but the SKILL.md delivers only high-level process steps (assess, design, implement, validate, deploy) without concrete replication setup details. While scripts exist (setup_replication.sh, failover.sh, monitor_replication.py), the main documentation doesn't explain what replication topology to use, how to configure master-slave/master-master setups, or provide sharding strategies. The structure is clear with good error handling sections, but the content is too generic—these same steps could apply to almost any infrastructure task. For a CLI agent to successfully set up database replication from the description alone, it would need specifics like: which databases are supported, replication architecture patterns, configuration parameters, and when to use each script. The novelty is limited because the actual replication knowledge appears minimal beyond what a general-purpose agent could attempt. The skill would benefit from database-specific replication procedures, topology diagrams, and concrete configuration examples in the main SKILL.md.
