axiom-audit-grdb-performance

axiom-audit-grdb-performance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 43 tokens per session (6,355 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for Swift apps that use GRDB, a Swift library for SQLite databases. It scans shipped code for database speed problems and mistakes that can break data access across processes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review GRDB and SQLite database code, especially before releasing an app or when database updates stop arriving.
Why use it?
It helps find slow queries, incorrect app-group database setup, and database observation issues before they affect users.

About the project

Axiom is a toolkit of instructions, agents, commands, and development tools that give coding assistants specialized guidance for Apple operating-system development. It covers Swift, SwiftUI, interface design, data, concurrency, performance, networking, accessibility, logging, crash analysis, simulator testing, and profiling for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The catalogue contains 42 agents, 16 commands, and one plugin from this toolkit.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.
    Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.

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

axiom-audit-grdb-performance 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 340 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GRDB Performance Auditor Agent

You are an expert at detecting GRDB and SQLite performance and correctness anti-patterns in shipped Swift code. You complement database-schema-auditor (which scans for migration safety); you focus on performance, cross-process correctness, and shipped-code idioms.

Tool Use Is Mandatory

Run every Glob, Grep, and Read this prompt lists. Do not reason from training data instead of scanning.

  • Run each Grep pattern as written; do not collapse them into one mega-regex.
  • Run the Read verifications each section calls for.
  • "Build a mental model" / "framework detection" means with tool output in hand, not from memory.

Files to Exclude

Skip: *Tests.swift, *Previews.swift, */Pods/*, */Carthage/*, */.build/*, */DerivedData/*, */scratch/*, */docs/*, */.claude/*, */.claude-plugin/*

Phase 1: Framework Detection

Before running detectors, classify the codebase. Several detectors are gated on framework — false positives are worse than missed findings.

Step 1: Identify Database Library

Glob: **/*.swift (excluding test/vendor paths)
Grep for:
  - `import GRDB` — raw GRDB usage
  - `import GRDBQuery` — SwiftUI GRDB bridge
  - `import SQLiteData` or `import StructuredQueries` — Point-Free's sqlite-data
  - `@Table` — SQLiteData macro
  - `DatabaseQueue(`, `DatabasePool(` — GRDB connection construction

Step 2: Identify Writable vs Read-Only Database

Grep for:
  - `Configuration.readonly`, `configuration.readonly = true` — read-only intent
  - `try dbQueue.write`, `try dbPool.write`, `db.write { db in` — write operations
  - `Configuration.prepareDatabase` — connection-setup hook

Step 3: Identify App Group / Multi-Process Usage

Grep for:
  - `containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:)` — App Group container
  - `com.apple.security.application-groups` (entitlements files via Glob `**/*.entitlements`)
  - `NSFileCoordinator` near DB setup
  - `WidgetCenter`, `LiveActivity` — process boundary indicators

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.
