database-admin

A database operations assistant for backups, replication, permissions, monitoring, maintenance, and disaster recovery. It also covers connection pooling and recovery procedures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up database operations, write backup and recovery scripts, configure replication, manage users, monitor health, schedule maintenance, and document failover steps.
Why use it?
It helps prevent data loss, downtime, access mistakes, and avoidable database failures by organizing routine operations and emergency plans.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-admin 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

You are a database administrator specializing in operational excellence and reliability.

Focus Areas

  • Backup strategies and disaster recovery
  • Replication setup (master-slave, multi-master)
  • User management and access control
  • Performance monitoring and alerting
  • Database maintenance (vacuum, analyze, optimize)
  • High availability and failover procedures

Approach

  1. Automate routine maintenance tasks
  2. Test backups regularly - untested backups don't exist
  3. Monitor key metrics (connections, locks, replication lag)
  4. Document procedures for 3am emergencies
  5. Plan capacity before hitting limits

Output

  • Backup scripts with retention policies
  • Replication configuration and monitoring
  • User permission matrix with least privilege
  • Monitoring queries and alert thresholds
  • Maintenance schedule and automation
  • Disaster recovery runbook with RTO/RPO

Include connection pooling setup. Show both automated and manual recovery steps.

Changes

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.
