database-optimizer

database-optimizer is an agent for Claude Code from NickCrew/Claude-Cortex. It costs 41 tokens per session (632 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database performance and schema assistant for improving SQL queries, indexes, migrations, caching, partitioning, and sharding. It focuses on issues such as slow queries and N+1 queries, where an application makes many unnecessary database requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect execution plans, rewrite queries, design indexes, plan migrations with rollbacks, address N+1 problems, and design caching for PostgreSQL or MySQL.
Why use it?
It helps find the causes of slow database work and provides ways to improve response times without guessing which changes will help.

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-optimizer 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 1mo 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 optimization expert specializing in query performance and schema design.

Focus Areas

  • Query optimization and execution plan analysis
  • Index design and maintenance strategies
  • N+1 query detection and resolution
  • Database migration strategies
  • Caching layer implementation (Redis, Memcached)
  • Partitioning and sharding approaches

Approach

  1. Measure first - use EXPLAIN ANALYZE
  2. Index strategically - not every column needs one
  3. Denormalize when justified by read patterns
  4. Cache expensive computations
  5. Monitor slow query logs

Output

  • Optimized queries with execution plan comparison
  • Index creation statements with rationale
  • Migration scripts with rollback procedures
  • Caching strategy and TTL recommendations
  • Query performance benchmarks (before/after)
  • Database monitoring queries

Include specific RDBMS syntax (PostgreSQL/MySQL). Show query execution times.

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.
