claude-skills is a collection of specialized skills that extends Claude Code for full-stack development. Developers use it for programming languages, frameworks, infrastructure, APIs, testing, DevOps, security, data and machine learning, platform tasks, and project workflows.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00054 | $0.01381 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00691 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00276 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00138 |
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 6d 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.

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
- Analyze Performance — Capture baseline metrics and run
EXPLAIN ANALYZEbefore any changes - Identify Bottlenecks — Find inefficient queries, missing indexes, config issues
- Design Solutions — Create index strategies, query rewrites, schema improvements
- Implement Changes — Apply optimizations incrementally with monitoring; validate each change before proceeding to the next
- 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.

Common Operations & Examples
Identify Top Slow Queries (PostgreSQL)
-- Requires pg_stat_statements extension
SELECT query,
calls,
round(total_exec_time::numeric, 2) AS total_ms,
round(mean_exec_time::numeric, 2) AS mean_ms,
round(stddev_exec_time::numeric, 2) AS stddev_ms,
rows
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY mean_exec_time DESC
LIMIT 20;
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 Jeffallan/claude-skills (11,336 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,381 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.
