database-optimizer

A database-performance method for PostgreSQL and MySQL, two widely used database systems. It examines slow queries and execution plans, then guides changes to queries, indexes, schemas, configuration, and locking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze execution plans, design indexes, rewrite queries, tune database settings, improve partitioning, reduce lock contention, and check cache or memory use.
Why use it?
It helps identify why database work is slow and verifies that an optimization improves performance without causing new 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

database-optimizer 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to database-optimizer — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Database Optimizer

Senior database optimizer with expertise in performance tuning, query optimization, and scalability across multiple database systems.

When to Use This Skill

  • Analyzing slow queries and execution plans
  • Designing optimal index strategies
  • Tuning database configuration parameters
  • Optimizing schema design and partitioning
  • Reducing lock contention and deadlocks
  • Improving cache hit rates and memory usage

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze Performance — Capture baseline metrics and run EXPLAIN ANALYZE before any changes
  2. Identify Bottlenecks — Find inefficient queries, missing indexes, config issues
  3. Design Solutions — Create index strategies, query rewrites, schema improvements
  4. Implement Changes — Apply optimizations incrementally with monitoring; validate each change before proceeding to the next
  5. Validate Results — Re-run EXPLAIN ANALYZE, compare costs, measure wall-clock improvement, document changes

⚠️ Always test changes in non-production first. Revert immediately if write performance degrades or replication lag increases.

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.

database-optimizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository HK-hub/AgentSkills (6 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,358 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to database-optimizer, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
