postgresql

postgresql is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashish7802/awesome-api-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (703 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An open-source relational database for storing structured application data and querying related records, with support for JSON, vectors, and advanced queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to store application records, query JSON data, run analytical queries, and perform vector similarity searches with an extension.
Why use it?
It provides one database for ordinary business data as well as more complex search and reporting needs.

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

postgresql 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 5d 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.

Quick Start

PostgreSQL is the gold standard for relational data. It supports advanced JSONB querying, vector similarity (pgvector), and complex window functions.

docker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret postgres:16

Production Patterns

Connection Pooling

Postgres spawns a new OS process per connection (unlike MySQL's threads). In serverless environments, this quickly exhausts memory. You MUST use a connection pooler like PgBouncer or a managed serverless Postgres like Neon/Supabase to multiplex connections.

Architecture & Scaling

JSONB vs Relational

Use JSONB for unstructured metadata (like user preferences), but do not store core domain entities in JSONB. You lose foreign key constraints and standard indexing performance.

Error Recovery

If transactions frequently deadlock, ensure all your application transactions acquire locks in the exact same deterministic order, and keep transactions as short as possible.

Security Notes

Never connect as the postgres superuser from your application. Create a dedicated application user with strictly limited schema access (GRANT SELECT, INSERT ON ALL TABLES...).

What ships with it

2 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.

postgresql is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashish7802/awesome-api-skills (13 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 703 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 2026-09-03.
