db-constraints

db-constraints is a skill for Claude Code from Hainrixz/claude-db. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,162 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database design audit that checks whether the database itself enforces required fields, allowed values, and uniqueness. A database stores structured application data in tables or similar records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review required columns, CHECK rules such as non-negative prices, unique emails or usernames, and case-insensitive identity matching.
Why use it?
Without these rules, incomplete rows, invalid values, or duplicate identities can enter when any app or script writes data. It also checks a common issue where blank values bypass uniqueness rules.

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

db-constraints 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 9d 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.

db-constraints (M5)

Constraints are invariants the database guarantees no matter which app, script, or migration writes the row. Without them, "this is always true" is a hope, not a fact. This module is design-axis (Constraints category). It applies to engines that enforce declarative constraints; document stores route to the Validación-schema category instead.

What it checks

  • Missing NOT NULL: columns that are semantically required (FKs to mandatory parents, email, status, timestamps) left nullable, allowing partial/garbage rows.
  • Missing CHECK: domain rules not enforced — quantity >= 0, price >= 0, status IN (...), start_date <= end_date, email ~ '@'. The app "validates" it; the DB does not.
  • Missing UNIQUE: natural keys (email, username, slug, external_id) with no UNIQUE constraint, permitting duplicates that corrupt joins and auth.
  • Case-insensitive uniqueness (emails): a plain UNIQUE on a case-varying column (e.g. email) still admits [email protected] and [email protected] as distinct rows — duplicate identities. Name the remedy: a citext column type, or a UNIQUE expression index on lower(col) (e.g. CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ON users (lower(email))), so case-folded values collide.
  • Over-nullable UNIQUE trap: a UNIQUE constraint over nullable columns where the engine treats each NULL as distinct, so duplicates slip through (e.g. UNIQUE(user_id, deleted_at) for soft-delete uniqueness fails when deleted_at is NULL). Recommend a partial/filtered unique index or NULLS NOT DISTINCT.
  • Constraint declared NOT VALID / NOCHECK and never validated.

Axis & severity

  • Axis: design; magnitude banded, never a fabricated violation count.
  • Missing UNIQUE on an auth/natural key allowing duplicate identities: severity 4, fail/warn, confidence directional.
  • Over-nullable UNIQUE that silently permits dupes: severity 4, warn (subtle, high-impact).
  • Missing NOT NULL on a required FK/column: severity 3, warn.
  • Missing CHECK for a stated domain rule: severity 2–3, warn, fixable: proposed.
  • M5 does not hold a sev-5 cap; it shapes the Constraints category value.

db-constraints is a skill published in the GitHub repository Hainrixz/claude-db (19 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,162 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
