Kafka Python Client

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: data-engineering  ·  Last updated:
lang:pythontype:generator
Scaffold a production-ready Python Kafka producer and consumer using `confluent-kafka-python`, with Schema Registry, graceful shutdown, idempotent producer, tests and a complete project layout. Discovers the target topic, partition count and registered JSON Schema directly from the live cluster via any attached Kafka MCP server (Lenses MCP, Confluent's MCP, Aiven's, custom) before asking the user. Use when user says "build a Python Kafka consumer", "scaffold a Kafka client in Python", "add Kafka to my Python service", "consume from `<topic>` in Python" or "write a Kafka producer". Do NOT use for Kafka Connect connectors, schema-evolution reviews or non-Python clients.

From the source SKILL.md

Generates a production-ready Python project that produces to and consumes from a Kafka topic using confluent-kafka-python, with Schema Registry (JSON Schema), graceful shutdown, idempotent producer, header-based schema identification, and tests. The agent should discover everything about the target topic (name, partitions, registered schema) from the live cluster via whichever Kafka MCP server is attached — Lenses MCP, Confluent's, Aiven's, or any other — before asking the user. Only fall back to questions if no Kafka MCP is attached or discovery returns nothing.

What this skill does

Kafka Python Client is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the data-engineering sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/kafka-python-client/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when user says "build a Python Kafka consumer", "scaffold a Kafka client in Python", "add Kafka to my Python service", "consume from `<topic>` in Python" or "write a Kafka producer". Do NOT use for Kafka Connect connectors, schema-evolution reviews or non-Python clients.
