postgresql

A relational database system for storing structured data in tables and retrieving it with SQL, a language for querying databases. It supports data changes and schema migrations, which are tracked updates to table design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, read, update, and delete records; join users with orders; calculate totals; and apply database schema changes.
Why use it?
It provides a way to keep related records consistent and answer complex questions across tables.

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 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.

What it actually says

PostgreSQL

Database operations.


When To Use

  • Relational data
  • Complex queries
  • ACID compliance

What To Do

1. Connect

// pg
import { Pool } from 'pg'

const pool = new Pool({
  connectionString: 'postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/db'
})

const client = await pool.connect()

2. Common Queries

Query What
SELECT Read data
INSERT Create data
UPDATE Modify data
DELETE Remove data

3. Patterns

-- Basic
SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1

-- Join
SELECT u.name, o.total
FROM users u
JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id

-- Aggregate
SELECT COUNT(*), SUM(total) FROM orders

4. Migrations

# node-pg-migrate
npx node-pg-migrate create add_users
npx node-pg-migrate up

Output

## PostgreSQL

| Query | Rows | Time |
|-------|------|------|
| SELECT | [n] | [n]ms |

### Tables
- [list]

Role: PostgreSQL DBA
Input: SQL, schema
Output: Data

Relational data.

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 dhaupin/vant (9 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 333 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-31.
