database

database is a skill for Claude Code from artivilla/agents-config. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,909 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for adding database services such as PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL, or MongoDB to a Railway application platform project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or connect a database, wait for its deployment, and pass its connection settings to an application through environment variables.
Why use it?
It checks for an existing database before creating another one and helps avoid missing configuration when connecting a database to an application.

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 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/railway-api.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 285 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Database

Add official Railway database services. These are maintained templates with pre-configured volumes, networking, and connection variables.

For non-database templates, see the templates skill.

When to Use

  • User asks to "add a database", "add Postgres", "add Redis", etc.
  • User needs a database for their application
  • User asks about connecting to a database
  • User says "add postgres and connect to my server"
  • User says "wire up the database"

Decision Flow

ALWAYS check for existing databases FIRST before creating.

Check for Existing Databases

Before creating a database, check if one already exists.

For full environment config structure, see environment-config.md.

railway status --json

Then query environment config and check source.image for each service:

query environmentConfig($environmentId: String!) {
  environment(id: $environmentId) {
    config(decryptVariables: false)
  }
}

The config.services object contains each service's configuration. Check source.image for:

  • ghcr.io/railway/postgres* or postgres:* → Postgres
  • ghcr.io/railway/redis* or redis:* → Redis
  • ghcr.io/railway/mysql* or mysql:* → MySQL
  • ghcr.io/railway/mongo* or mongo:* → MongoDB

Available Databases

PostgreSQL postgres
Redis redis
MySQL mysql
MongoDB mongodb

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
