db-backup-restore

db-backup-restore is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from m-binimran/dev-pack. It costs 58 tokens per session (400 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A runbook for backing up and restoring PostgreSQL or Supabase databases, including logical dumps, managed backups, point-in-time recovery, and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before migrations, for disaster recovery, or when copying production data to staging, with guidance for safe restores, checks, storage, and approvals.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to protect data before risky changes and to test that backups can actually restore a working database without silently losing records.

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

db-backup-restore 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 2mo 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

db-backup-restore

Backups are only real if you've restored one. Treat restore as the thing you're actually buying.

Back up

  • Logical (portable): pg_dump --format=custom --no-owner --file=backup.dump "$DATABASE_URL". Custom format restores selectively and in parallel.
  • Supabase: managed daily backups; enable Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) for anything important.
  • Before a risky migration: take a fresh dump first. Note the timestamp and what it covers.
  • Store backups off the database host. Never commit a dump (it's data — and may contain PII).

Restore (runbook)

  1. Restore into a NEW/empty target first (staging or a scratch DB), never straight over a live one: pg_restore --no-owner --clean --if-exists -d "$TARGET_URL" backup.dump
  2. Verify row counts and a few key records match expectations before pointing anything at it.
  3. Only then, if replacing prod, do it in a maintenance window with a fresh backup taken immediately prior.

Safety

  • Never restore over production without an explicit human OK and a just-taken backup. A restore is destructive — it can overwrite newer data.
  • Test the restore path periodically; an untested backup is a hope, not a recovery plan.
  • Scrub or limit PII when cloning prod → staging.

Output

  • The exact backup/restore commands for the situation, the target (never prod by default), and the verification step. State clearly when an action is destructive.

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.
