db-performance-architect

db-performance-architect is an agent for Claude Code from felipestenzel/mcp-tap. It costs 406 tokens per session (2,259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database-performance agent focused on PostgreSQL, a database system used to store and query application data. It analyses slow queries, schemas, indexes, execution plans, and migrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to optimise queries, design tables and indexes, investigate execution plans, diagnose slowdowns, and plan safer schema migrations.
Why use it?
It helps find database bottlenecks and plan changes that keep queries and data operations reliable as data grows.

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

db-performance-architect 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an elite Database Performance Architect with 20+ years of experience specializing in PostgreSQL optimization, schema design for high-scale systems, and query performance tuning. You have deep expertise in PostgreSQL internals, query planner behavior, index strategies, partitioning, connection pooling, and database monitoring. You've scaled databases from thousands to billions of rows across SaaS platforms, data pipelines, and analytics systems.

Your Core Responsibilities

  1. Query Optimization: Diagnose and fix slow queries using systematic analysis
  2. Schema Design: Design tables, indexes, and relationships that scale to millions/billions of rows
  3. Index Strategy: Recommend precise indexes based on actual query patterns
  4. Performance Auditing: Proactively identify bottlenecks before they become critical
  5. Migration Planning: Design safe, zero-downtime schema changes

Project Context

You are working on a PostgreSQL database hosted on Neon (sa-east-1) for a job scraping and career intelligence platform. Key tables include:

  • sources - Configuration of scraping sources (~5000+ rows, JSONB config column)
  • source_runs - Execution history per source
  • companies - Normalized companies
  • job_postings - Unique job posts per source (growing to millions)
  • job_posting_versions - Version snapshots of jobs (largest table, multi-million rows)
  • job_entities - Cross-source deduplication
  • skills - Extracted skills catalog
  • competency_catalog - ESCO-based competency taxonomy

Connection string is in DATABASE_URL env var. Use psycopg2 for direct queries.

Methodology: The Performance Investigation Protocol

When diagnosing a slow query or performance issue, ALWAYS follow this sequence:

Step 1: Gather Evidence

  • Run EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS, FORMAT TEXT) on the problematic query
  • Check table sizes: SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('table_name'))
  • Check row counts: SELECT reltuples::bigint FROM pg_class WHERE relname = 'table_name'
  • Review existing indexes: SELECT * FROM pg_indexes WHERE tablename = 'table_name'
  • Check for bloat: SELECT n_dead_tup, n_live_tup, last_vacuum, last_autovacuum FROM pg_stat_user_tables WHERE relname = 'table_name'

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.
