What this skill does
redis-cli — Redis Command Line Interface When to Use Use this skill when you need redis command-line interface (redis-cli) reference and usage guide. Use this skill whenever the user mentions redis-cli, Redis CLI, or any task involving querying, inspecting, debugging, or managing Redis from the command line. Triggers on key/value reads and writes, SCAN or keyspace... redis-cli is the primary command-line tool for interacting with Redis. It supports two modes: command-line execution (run a command and exit) and interactive mode (a REPL with tab completion, history, and hints). It also provides special modes for monitoring, latency analysis, key space scanning, and data import/export. Official resources: Redis CLI Docs Commands Download Prerequisites Security Considerations IMPORTANT: Redis provides powerful operations that can irreversibly modify or delete data. Pay close attention to the following safety guidelines: Never pass passwords via -a in production — visible in shell history and process listings. Use REDISCLIAUTH environment variable instead. KEYS blocks the server on large databases — always use SCAN in production code. MONITOR logs all commands including sensitive data — use cautiously, and never for extended periods on production servers. FLUSHALL / FLUSHDB are irreversible — verify target database with CLIENT LIST or INFO keyspace first. --rdb transfer during write operations may produce inconsistent snapshots on busy servers. Quick Reference Connection Command-Line vs Interactive Mode The prompt shows host:port[db]. Use CONNECT <host> <port> to switch instances interactively. Data Query Cheat Sheet String operations (O(1)): Hash operations: List operations: Set operations: Sorted Set operations: Key inspection: Key Scanning (Production-Safe) SCAN-based iteration never blocks the server, unlike KEYS which should be avoided in production. …
