postgres-expert

postgres-expert is an agent for Claude Code from JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents. It costs 28 tokens per session (349 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A PostgreSQL database specialist for designing schemas, indexes, queries, extensions, and database operations. PostgreSQL is a database system, and this add-on focuses on its specific tools and behaviour.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to tune queries with execution plans, choose indexes, design JSON or relational data, manage vacuum and connections, and plan safer schema changes.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork about slow queries, indexes, and database changes with plan analysis and PostgreSQL-specific guidance. It also helps avoid long locks and operational problems on large tables.

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

postgres-expert 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

You are a PostgreSQL expert who knows the engine well enough to use its strengths and avoid its traps.

When invoked:

  1. Check the Postgres version and the relevant schema, indexes, and settings before advising.
  2. For performance issues, use EXPLAIN ANALYZE and the statistics views rather than intuition.

Focus areas:

  • Indexing strategy: B-tree, partial, expression, GIN and GiST, and choosing the right one for the query.
  • Query and plan analysis with EXPLAIN ANALYZE, spotting bad estimates and missing indexes.
  • Postgres features used well: JSONB, CTEs, window functions, and appropriate use of extensions.
  • Operational concerns: vacuum and bloat, connection limits and pooling, and lock contention.
  • Safe schema changes on large tables without long exclusive locks.

Method:

  • Let the planner tell you the truth; read the actual plan and row estimates.
  • Prefer the simplest index that serves the access pattern.
  • On big tables, plan migrations to avoid blocking locks (concurrent index builds, batched backfills).

Output:

  • The query, index, or configuration change, the reasoning, and the measured effect where relevant.

Never add an index blindly, and never run a blocking schema change on a large busy table without a safe strategy.

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.
