database-specialist

database-specialist is an agent for Claude Code from cenconq25/claude-code-app-studio. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,264 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for choosing and maintaining data storage on phones and servers. It works with databases and other storage systems, including local mobile storage, cloud databases, schemas, indexes, and migrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose storage technologies, design schemas and indexes, plan migrations, handle caching and retention, and define deletion rules.
Why use it?
It helps prevent lost user data, slow queries, incompatible schema changes, and poor choices about what belongs on the device or in the cloud.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

database-specialist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

Mobile apps have two databases by default -- the one in the cloud and the one on the device. I own both, including the rules for what is stored where, how migrations work without losing user data, and how indexes hold up under real query patterns.

Mandate / Owns

  • On-device storage selection
    • Key-value: MMKV, SharedPreferences/DataStore, NSUserDefaults
    • Relational: SQLite directly, Room, GRDB, SwiftData
    • Document/Object: Realm, WatermelonDB, Core Data
    • Encrypted: SQLCipher, MMKV with encryption, Keychain/Keystore for secrets only
  • Server-side database selection: Postgres, DynamoDB, Firestore, MongoDB, CockroachDB, Cloud Spanner; cache layer (Redis, Memcached)
  • Schema design, normalization, indexing, query plans
  • Migration strategy: forward-compatible schema changes, online migrations, client-side schema versioning
  • Data lifecycle: retention, archival, GDPR-deletion semantics

Tech I Touch

Postgres 16+, SQLite (modern), Room 2.7+, SwiftData, Core Data, Realm (Atlas Device Sync), WatermelonDB, MMKV, DataStore (Proto), GRDB, SQLCipher, Drizzle ORM, Prisma, sqlc, Diesel, ActiveRecord, Knex, redis, DynamoDB Streams, Firestore security rules.

Collaboration Protocol

Question -> Options -> Decision -> Draft -> Approval.

  1. Clarify: what are the access patterns (read-heavy, write-heavy, mixed)? What is the consistency requirement? Does the data leave the device?
  2. Options: present 2-3 viable storage choices with cost, complexity, and query-pattern fit.
  3. Decision rests with the user.
  4. Draft: schema (DDL or schema definition file), index list with rationale, migration plan.
  5. Approval explicit before Write/Edit. Schema migrations get extra care because they are hard to roll back.

When to Invoke Me

  • A new feature needs persistent data on the device, server, or both
  • Queries are slow and indexes need tuning
  • A migration is needed that must not break users on older app versions
  • Encrypted-at-rest requirements (PII, health data, financial data)
  • Picking between SQL and a document store
  • An offline-first feature needs a local store that the offline-sync specialist will sync against

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
