awesome-ai-agent-skills: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/database-design/SKILL.md

database-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LionelHuanSi/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (368 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of design and migration rules for PostgreSQL databases, including table structure, data types, indexes, query loading, and schema changes. PostgreSQL is a relational database, and migrations are scripts that change its structure over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing PostgreSQL tables, choosing keys and constraints, adding indexes, preventing N+1 queries, or planning Alembic or Prisma migrations. It covers UUID or numeric IDs, UTC timestamps, JSONB data, currency values, audit fields, and backward-compatible changes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent common database problems such as unclear relationships, inaccurate timestamps, unsafe money storage, slow queries, repeated database requests, and breaking schema changes.

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-design 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

Database Design & Migration Skill

Sourced from PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules database & ORM rules.

Relational Schema Design Standards

  1. Primary Keys: Use UUIDv4 or BIGINT (BIGSERIAL) primary keys.
  2. Foreign Keys & Constraints: Define explicit foreign key constraints with cascade/set null rules.
  3. Data Types:
    • Timestamps: Always use TIMESTAMPTZ (UTC).
    • Semi-structured data: Use JSONB with GIN indexes instead of raw text JSON.
    • Financial/Currency values: Use NUMERIC(12, 2) or integer cents, never FLOAT.
  4. Audit Fields: Every core table must include created_at, updated_at, and optional deleted_at (for soft deletes).

Indexing & Query Optimization

  • Foreign Key Indexing: Always add indexes on foreign key columns.
  • Search & Filtering: Create composite indexes for high-frequency multi-column queries.
  • N+1 Query Prevention: Enforce eager loading / join fetches to eliminate N+1 database roundtrips.

Migration Best Practices

  • Never Modify Live Migrations: Treat existing database migration scripts as immutable.
  • Backwards Compatibility: Implement 2-phase non-breaking migrations when renaming or removing columns.
  • Tooling: Alembic (Python) / Prisma / Drizzle (TypeScript).
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.
