postgres-patterns

postgres-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamkris/everything-gemini-code. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,018 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of postgres-patterns, MIT.

A reference guide to designing and operating PostgreSQL databases, the open-source database system. It covers schemas, SQL queries, indexes, security rules, and connection pooling.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports writing SQL and migrations, designing schemas, investigating query performance, adding Row Level Security, and configuring pooled connections.
Why use it?
It helps avoid slow queries, unsuitable data types, weak database access controls, and inefficient connection handling.

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

postgres-patterns 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 Patterns

Quick reference for PostgreSQL best practices. For detailed guidance, use the database-reviewer agent.

When to Use

  • Writing SQL queries or migrations
  • Designing database schemas
  • Troubleshooting slow queries
  • Implementing Row Level Security
  • Setting up connection pooling

Quick Reference

Index Cheat Sheet

Query Pattern Index Type Example
WHERE col = value B-tree (default) CREATE INDEX idx ON t (col)
WHERE col > value B-tree CREATE INDEX idx ON t (col)
WHERE a = x AND b > y Composite CREATE INDEX idx ON t (a, b)
WHERE jsonb @> '{}' GIN CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING gin (col)
WHERE tsv @@ query GIN CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING gin (col)
Time-series ranges BRIN CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING brin (col)

Data Type Quick Reference

Use Case Correct Type Avoid
IDs bigint int, random UUID
Strings text varchar(255)
Timestamps timestamptz timestamp
Money numeric(10,2) float
Flags boolean varchar, int

Common Patterns

Composite Index Order:

-- Equality columns first, then range columns
CREATE INDEX idx ON orders (status, created_at);
-- Works for: WHERE status = 'pending' AND created_at > '2024-01-01'

Covering Index:

CREATE INDEX idx ON users (email) INCLUDE (name, created_at);
-- Avoids table lookup for SELECT email, name, created_at

Partial Index:

CREATE INDEX idx ON users (email) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
-- Smaller index, only includes active users

RLS Policy (Optimized):

CREATE POLICY policy ON orders
  USING ((SELECT auth.uid()) = user_id);  -- Wrap in SELECT!

UPSERT:

INSERT INTO settings (user_id, key, value)
VALUES (123, 'theme', 'dark')
ON CONFLICT (user_id, key)
DO UPDATE SET value = EXCLUDED.value;

Cursor Pagination:

SELECT * FROM products WHERE id > $last_id ORDER BY id LIMIT 20;
-- O(1) vs OFFSET which is O(n)
