postgres

A database skill for running SQL queries against a local PostgreSQL database. PostgreSQL is a relational database system that stores data in tables.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need database facts such as table contents, counts, schemas, or other query results.
Why use it?
It provides a direct way to inspect database contents without first relying on application files or migration scripts.

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

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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Execute SQL queries against the local Postgres database using psql.

Pipe the query via stdin:

echo "<SQL_QUERY>" | PGPASSWORD=c0d3ly7v psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U supabase_admin -d postgres -tA

Tips

  • If you need to discover schemas or tables, query information_schema.tables directly instead of reading migration files.
  • Go straight to the query. No need to inspect Docker or init scripts beforehand.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository CodelyTV/agentic_programming-course (38 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 163 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
