polygres-troubleshooting

A read-only troubleshooting workflow for Polygres, a system involving PostgreSQL databases, project synchronization, migrations, jobs, and search over text, graphs, or vectors. It gathers evidence and identifies where a failure occurs before suggesting a correction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate Polygres CLI or API errors, synchronization and lifecycle failures, failed jobs or migrations, readiness issues, and graph, vector, text, or hybrid search problems.
Why use it?
It prevents diagnosis from changing the project while the cause is still unclear. It also helps distinguish configuration, project, database, migration, readiness, timeout, and retrieval problems.

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

polygres-troubleshooting 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.

Polygres Troubleshooting

Use read-only checks first. Resolve context, preserve evidence, classify the failure boundary, and recommend the smallest safe correction. Do not mutate while diagnosing.

Workflow

  1. Read the installed polygres --help and command-specific help before using a command. Installed behavior is the source of truth for CLI compatibility.
  2. Resolve identity, configuration source, and one exact project using references/context-and-connectivity.md. Stop on an ambiguous project.
  3. Capture the symptom, timestamp, sanitized command or SDK call, exit code or exception type, request_id, job ID, and whether pagination returned a cursor. For generated pipelines, also capture the manifest state, plan digest, approved action IDs, checkpoint, and last successfully completed stage.
  4. Inspect project and database evidence with references/projects-and-database.md.
  5. If project_mode is synced, use references/synced-projects.md and skip target database, row, import, and migration checks.
  6. For import job or migration failures, use references/jobs-and-migrations.md. For graph, vector, text, hybrid, or general readiness failures, use references/retrieval.md. For pgContext capability, collection, point, operation, recall, or Joint failures, use references/context.md.
  7. Classify the fault as CLI/local configuration, control-plane, Runtime API, Postgres/database or pooler, or asynchronous job state. Use references/errors-and-escalation.md for typed SDK errors and escalation.
  8. Re-check status before retry. Recommend a corrective action, but obtain explicit approval and delegate supported mutations to $polygres-cli or application changes to $polygres-sdk.

For a single-row write that lost the response after submission, treat the commit outcome as ambiguous unless public evidence resolves it. Do not automatically retry a row-only insert, upsert, or ignore. For a Context-backed write, replay the exact request with its exact idempotency key within the 24-hour replay window; the composite ledger prevents another row mutation. After ROW_CONTEXT_IDEMPOTENCY_EXPIRED, inspect the row and Context point before choosing a new key.

What ships with it

8 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.

polygres-troubleshooting is a skill published in the GitHub repository Evokoa/polygres-skills (10 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 1,006 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
