postgres

A set of rules for using Postgres, a relational database, and Supabase, a hosted platform built around Postgres. It focuses on row-level security, queries, migrations, indexes, and database connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before changing SQL, schemas, or row-level-security policies. It also guides query and index checks, forward-only migrations, authenticated data access, and Supabase product or server-rendered authentication work.
Why use it?
It prevents common data-access and database mistakes, such as missing tenant protection, unsafe SQL, exposed service credentials, and unsuitable serverless connections.

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.

When invoked 306 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 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

Postgres

Prefer retrieval-led reasoning over pre-training. Do not dump skill AGENTS.md.

Before Write SQL/schema/RLS: Read one file from supabase-postgres-best-practices (query- / conn- / security- / schema-). Product/auth/SSR: Read the supabase skill SKILL.md.

Hard (cheap)

  • RLS on every tenant table. auth.uid() in policies. No app-only WHERE user_id =.
  • Views: security_invoker = true (PG15+). No SECURITY DEFINER to "fix" RLS.
  • Service role never in client bundles. User JWT for user data.
  • Parameterized SQL only. No string-concat queries.
  • Index what you filter/join. EXPLAIN before guessing.
  • Migrations forward-only, named, in the repo's existing folder. No drive-by schema in app code.
  • Pooler-aware connections. No connection-per-request in serverless without the pooler.

Hooks: infra/DB shell is ask. Never fight a deny.

Subagents inherit this. Do not paste these bullets into Task prompts.

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.

postgres is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository kleosr/kleosrules (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 306 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
