spekka: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/spekka-backend-queries/SKILL.md

Backend Queries is a skill for Claude Code from johnreitano/spekka. It costs 24 tokens per session (209 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for writing and improving database queries, which are requests that read or change stored application data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building backend features that query databases, choosing fields and indexes, loading related records, managing transactions, setting time limits, or caching expensive results.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common problems such as unsafe SQL, repeated database requests, slow queries, inconsistent related changes, and runaway operations.

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

Backend Queries 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Backend Queries

This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how it should handle backend queries.

Instructions

  • Prevent SQL Injection: Always use parameterized queries or ORM methods; never interpolate user input into SQL strings
  • Avoid N+1 Queries: Use eager loading or joins to fetch related data in a single query instead of multiple queries
  • Select Only Needed Data: Request only the columns you need rather than using SELECT * for better performance
  • Index Strategic Columns: Index columns used in WHERE, JOIN, and ORDER BY clauses for query optimization
  • Use Transactions for Related Changes: Wrap related database operations in transactions to maintain data consistency
  • Set Query Timeouts: Implement timeouts to prevent runaway queries from impacting system performance
  • Cache Expensive Queries: Cache results of complex or frequently-run queries when appropriate
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.
