postgresql

postgresql is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from itechmeat/llm-code. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building applications with PostgreSQL, a relational database system. It covers tenant separation, database structure, schema-change migrations, asynchronous Python database access, and query speed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design tenant-aware tables with row-level security, write Alembic migrations, use async SQLAlchemy, and improve PostgreSQL queries.
Why use it?
It helps prevent one customer, or tenant, from seeing another customer's data and avoids common mistakes when changing or tuning a database.

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

postgresql 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

RLS Multi-tenancy Pattern

Non-negotiables

  • RLS context is mandatory for any tenant-scoped query
  • Context must be set inside the same transaction as the queries
  • No fallbacks for tenant ID (fail fast if missing)
  • Async-only DB access when using async frameworks

Setting RLS Context

RLS works only if the current transaction has the context set:

SET LOCAL app.current_tenant_id = '<tenant_uuid>';

Must run before the first tenant-scoped query in that transaction.

Common Failure Modes

  • Setting SET LOCAL ... after the first select()
  • Setting the context in one session, then querying in another
  • Running queries outside the expected transaction scope

Typical RLS Policy

ALTER TABLE some_table ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;

CREATE POLICY some_table_tenant_isolation
ON some_table
USING (tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant_id', true)::uuid);

Multi-tenant Table Checklist

  • Tenant ID column is UUID
  • FK to tenants table with ON DELETE CASCADE
  • Indexes aligned with access patterns (usually tenant_id first)
    • PostgreSQL does not auto-index FK columns — add explicit indexes
    • UNIQUE allows multiple NULLs unless using NULLS NOT DISTINCT (PG15+)
  • RLS is enabled and policies exist
  • Application code sets RLS context at transaction start

Alembic Migrations Checklist

  1. Add/modify schema (columns, constraints, FKs)
  2. Create/update indexes
  3. Enable RLS and create/adjust policies
  4. Add verification (tests) for isolation
  5. Provide a real downgrade (no stubs)

Version Notes

PostgreSQL 19 (beta)

  • 19 is at Beta 3 (2026-08-13); GA is expected September/October 2026 and details may still change. Latest stable line is 18.6.
  • Headline changes: REPACK / REPACK CONCURRENTLY replacing VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER, parallel autovacuum with a scoring system, logical replication of sequences, SQL/PGQ property graphs, GROUP BY ALL, FOR PORTION OF, and online checksum enable/disable.
  • 18 incompatible changes to plan for, including forced standard_conforming_strings, RADIUS removal, jit off by default, default_toast_compression switching to lz4, and max_locks_per_transaction defaulting to 128 with changed sizing.
  • Full detail and the upgrade checklist: postgresql-19.md

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.

postgresql is a skill published in the GitHub repository itechmeat/llm-code (24 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,462 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
