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

supabase-postgres-best-practices 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 6d 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

Supabase Postgres Best Practices

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for Postgres, maintained by Supabase. Contains rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated query optimization and schema design.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Writing SQL queries or designing schemas
  • Implementing indexes or query optimization
  • Reviewing database performance issues
  • Configuring connection pooling or scaling
  • Optimizing for Postgres-specific features
  • Working with Row-Level Security (RLS)

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Query Performance CRITICAL query-
2 Connection Management CRITICAL conn-
3 Security & RLS CRITICAL security-
4 Schema Design HIGH schema-
5 Concurrency & Locking MEDIUM-HIGH lock-
6 Data Access Patterns MEDIUM data-
7 Monitoring & Diagnostics LOW-MEDIUM monitor-
8 Advanced Features LOW advanced-

How to Use

Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and SQL examples:

references/query-missing-indexes.md
references/query-partial-indexes.md
references/_sections.md

Each rule file contains:

  • Brief explanation of why it matters
  • Incorrect SQL example with explanation
  • Correct SQL example with explanation
  • Optional EXPLAIN output or metrics
  • Additional context and references
  • Supabase-specific notes (when applicable)

References

Files

What ships with it

39 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.
