ECC is a toolkit that organizes and improves how coding agents work through skills, memory, security checks, research practices, and related extensions. It is for developers using agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00045 | $0.01090 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00436 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00218 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00109 |
Grade A, and why
postgres-patterns 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.

PostgreSQL Patterns
Quick reference for PostgreSQL best practices. For detailed guidance, use the database-reviewer agent.
When to Activate
- Writing SQL queries or migrations
- Designing database schemas
- Troubleshooting slow queries
- Implementing Row Level Security
- Setting up connection pooling
Quick Reference
Index Cheat Sheet
| Query Pattern | Index Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
WHERE col = value |
B-tree (default) | CREATE INDEX idx ON t (col) |
WHERE col > value |
B-tree | CREATE INDEX idx ON t (col) |
WHERE a = x AND b > y |
Composite | CREATE INDEX idx ON t (a, b) |
WHERE jsonb @> '{}' |
GIN | CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING gin (col) |
WHERE tsv @@ query |
GIN | CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING gin (col) |
| Time-series ranges | BRIN | CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING brin (col) |
Data Type Quick Reference
| Use Case | Correct Type | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| IDs | bigint |
int, random UUID |
| Strings | text |
varchar(255) |
| Timestamps | timestamptz |
timestamp |
| Money | numeric(10,2) |
float |
| Flags | boolean |
varchar, int |
Common Patterns
Composite Index Order:
-- Equality columns first, then range columns
CREATE INDEX idx ON orders (status, created_at);
-- Works for: WHERE status = 'pending' AND created_at > '2024-01-01'
Covering Index:
CREATE INDEX idx ON users (email) INCLUDE (name, created_at);
-- Avoids table lookup for SELECT email, name, created_at
Partial Index:
CREATE INDEX idx ON users (email) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
-- Smaller index, only includes active users
RLS Policy (Optimized):
CREATE POLICY policy ON orders
USING ((SELECT auth.uid()) = user_id); -- Wrap in SELECT!
UPSERT:
INSERT INTO settings (user_id, key, value)
VALUES (123, 'theme', 'dark')
ON CONFLICT (user_id, key)
DO UPDATE SET value = EXCLUDED.value;
Cursor Pagination:
SELECT * FROM products WHERE id > $last_id ORDER BY id LIMIT 20;
-- O(1) vs OFFSET which is O(n)
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-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository affaan-m/ECC (284,130 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,090 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
