render-postgres

render-postgres is a skill for Codex from cass-2003/local-workflow-skill. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,690 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of render-postgres, MIT.

A guide for running PostgreSQL databases on Render. PostgreSQL is a relational database used to store structured application data, and the guide covers how Render services connect to it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or configure a Render database, connect applications, manage storage and replicas, understand backups, and troubleshoot SSL or connection-limit errors.
Why use it?
Database connections, backups, storage, connection limits, and replicas can cause deployment or reliability problems if configured incorrectly. It explains the differences between private connections inside Render and external connections from elsewhere.

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

render-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 6d 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.

Render Managed PostgreSQL

This skill covers Managed Postgres on Render: how to connect, what cannot change after creation, storage behavior, limits, HA, replicas, and safe deletion. Deep dives live under references/.

When to Use

Apply this skill when the user:

  • Configures Postgres for an app on Render (URLs, TLS, pooling)
  • Creates or changes a database, plan, disk, or replicas
  • Asks about backups, PITR, exports, or deleting a database
  • Hits connection limits, SSL errors, or latency between services and DB
  • Authors Blueprint databases / readReplicas or wires fromDatabase

For deploy flows and Blueprint basics, see render-deploy and render-blueprints. For private networking between services, see render-networking. For env var patterns, see render-env-vars.

Connection Patterns

Render exposes two connection URLs for the same logical database:

URL Use when TLS
Internal App or service on Render in the same region and workspace Not required (private network)
External Local development, CI, or tools outside Render Required (TLS 1.2+)

Always prefer the internal URL for Render-hosted apps so traffic stays on Render’s network and avoids extra latency and public egress patterns.

  • IP allow list applies to external access only. Same-region Render services use the internal URL regardless of the allow list.
  • External clients must use TLS; misconfigured clients often show SSL handshake or sslmode errors.

URL formats, Dashboard locations, Blueprint fromDatabase, pooling, and common mistakes: references/connection-guide.md.

Creation and Setup

  • Instance display name: Can be changed later (where the Dashboard allows renaming the resource).
  • Immutable after creation: databaseName, database user, region, PostgreSQL major version. Plan these before create; changing them requires a new database and migration.
  • Storage size: 1 GB or multiples of 5 GB when provisioning.

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.
