db-naming

db-naming is a skill for Claude Code from Hainrixz/claude-db. It costs 65 tokens per session (904 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database-schema naming audit. A database schema is the structure that defines tables, columns, relationships, and their names.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check table and column casing, singular or plural names, foreign-key and Boolean names, timestamps, reserved words, and vague identifiers.
Why use it?
Consistent names make relationships easier to understand and reduce bugs caused by mixed casing, reserved SQL words, unclear columns, or unpredictable foreign-key names.

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-naming 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-naming (M7)

Naming is the schema's documentation: consistent, predictable identifiers make joins obvious and reduce the quoting/casing bugs that creep in across ORMs and engines. It is low-weight (Naming category, design axis) — real but never the headline. This module is design-axis and never caps.

What it checks

  • Casing / pluralization consistency: a mix of snake_case and camelCase, or singular and plural table names (user, orders, OrderItem) in one schema — pick one and hold it.
  • Reserved words & case-folding traps: identifiers that are SQL reserved words (user, order, group, select) or that rely on case ("User" quoted) — Postgres folds unquoted to lowercase, MySQL is filesystem/case-config dependent; mixed quoting causes "relation does not exist" bugs.
  • FK naming: FK columns not following a predictable <referenced>_id pattern, so joins aren't self-evident.
  • Boolean naming: booleans not prefixed is_/has_/can_, or negative names (not_active) that invert logic.
  • Opaque / ambiguous names: data, info, value, flag, temp, col1, abbreviations without a glossary, or timestamps not suffixed _at.

Axis & severity

  • Axis: design; magnitude almost always low, banded honestly.
  • Reserved-word unquoted identifier that breaks across engines: severity 2–3, warn.
  • Schema-wide casing/pluralization inconsistency: severity 2, warn, fixable: proposed (rename is high-blast-radius — never auto).
  • Opaque column name / missing _at suffix: severity 1, warn.
  • M7 never caps any score; it is the smallest-weight design category.

Tier-0 static check

Parse DDL/snapshot via scripts/parse-schema.mjs: tally identifier casing styles and table pluralization; match identifiers against a reserved-word list per engine; check FK columns against the <table>_id pattern; flag boolean columns without is_/has_/can_ and opaque names. This is fully static and directional.

Tier-1 verification query

Confirm live identifier inventory and quoting:

-- $DATABASE_URL, read-only
SELECT table_name, column_name FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_schema NOT IN ('pg_catalog','information_schema')
ORDER BY table_name;   -- inspect casing/plurality/reserved words across the real catalog

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.

db-naming is a skill published in the GitHub repository Hainrixz/claude-db (19 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 904 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.
