postgres-code-review

postgres-code-review is a skill for Claude Code from existential-birds/beagle. It costs 40 tokens per session (622 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checklist for reviewing PostgreSQL database code. PostgreSQL is a relational database system, and the review covers queries, table changes, JSON data, connections, and transactions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine indexes, JSONB queries, connection pools, transaction isolation, deadlocks, and parameterized queries.
Why use it?
It helps catch slow queries, unsafe SQL, connection leaks, locking problems, and transaction mistakes before they reach production.

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-code-review 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 1mo 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.

PostgreSQL Code Review

Quick Reference

Issue Type Reference
Missing indexes, wrong index type, query performance references/indexes.md
JSONB queries, operators, GIN indexes references/jsonb.md
Connection leaks, pool configuration, timeouts references/connections.md
Isolation levels, deadlocks, advisory locks references/transactions.md

Review Checklist

  • WHERE/JOIN columns have appropriate indexes
  • Composite indexes match query patterns (column order matters)
  • JSONB columns use GIN indexes when queried
  • Using proper JSONB operators (->, ->>, @>, ?)
  • Connection pool configured with appropriate limits
  • Connections properly released (context managers, try/finally)
  • Appropriate transaction isolation level for use case
  • No long-running transactions holding locks
  • Advisory locks used for application-level coordination
  • Queries use parameterized statements (no SQL injection)

Gates (before reporting findings)

Use this sequence so conclusions stay evidence-bound (not “I checked mentally”):

  1. Scope — Record the concrete paths (and line ranges or symbols if helpful) for the SQL, DDL/migrations, and connection code under review. Pass: every subsystem you critique (queries, JSONB, pool, transactions) has at least one cited path.
  2. SQL/DDL citation for performance claims — Index, sequential-scan, JSONB-operator, and plan-related findings must point to the exact statement or schema (quoted excerpt or file:line). Pass: each such finding includes that citation.
  3. Binding check before injection flags — Only assert SQL-injection risk after locating how SQL and values are combined (bound parameters vs string concat/format/f-strings). Pass: you name the mechanism you saw in code for each flagged callsite.

Then load the relevant reference doc from Quick Reference and walk the Review Checklist.

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.
