Getting it into your agent
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.
npx agentmods add agents/nickcrew/claude-cortex/database-optimizergit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NickCrew/Claude-CortexWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00632 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00316 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00126 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00063 |
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 yesterday.
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
- Measure first - use EXPLAIN ANALYZE
- Index strategically - not every column needs one
- Denormalize when justified by read patterns
- Cache expensive computations
- 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.
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.

database-optimizer is an agent published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (36 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 632 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
