Microsoft Postgres Skills is a plugin that gives AI coding agents PostgreSQL guidance and database tools, including a local PostgreSQL MCP server for connecting an agent to a database. It helps application developers, database administrators, platform engineers, and AI application developers build, troubleshoot, and operate PostgreSQL systems in local, self-hosted, and cloud environments. The catalogue entries are the plugin's skills, tools, and related agent 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.

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 | $0.00052 | $0.00780 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00312 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00156 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
update-plugin-release 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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Update plugin release
This is a repository-maintenance skill, not part of the distributed plugin.
Keep it under .github/skills/, outside the installable plugin/ payload.
Choose the semantic version
Inspect the current manifests, plugin changelog, Git history, and release tags before choosing a version. Distinguish a prepared version from a tagged or published release; do not infer publication from a manifest alone. If the user specifies a target version, use it unless it conflicts with the release history or the policy below; explain the conflict before proceeding.
Use Semantic Versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH):
- Patch: backward-compatible fixes and documentation refinements.
- Minor: new backward-compatible capabilities, including new skill reference topics that enable additional workflows.
- Major: incompatible changes to an established public interface at
1.0.0or later. - Before
1.0.0, use a minor bump for new capabilities or breaking changes, and a patch bump for compatible fixes. Describe breaking changes explicitly. Do not move to1.0.0without a user decision to declare a stable interface.
Choose the highest required bump across the pending changes. Do not bump again merely because a prepared release is being edited.
Update the plugin and listing versions
Set the same plugin version in all three host manifests:
plugin/plugin.jsonplugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonplugin/.codex-plugin/plugin.json
Update the postgres-skills entry's version in all marketplace entrypoints:
.github/plugin/marketplace.json.claude-plugin/marketplace.json.agents/plugins/marketplace.json
Keep the marketplace entrypoints identical. Leave their
metadata.version unchanged: it versions the marketplace independently and
is outside this skill's scope. Do not change MCP dependency versions unless
the requested release includes that change.
Maintain the changelogs
In plugin/CHANGELOG.md, group the release's changes under its version and date
using Added, Changed, Fixed, or other applicable Keep a Changelog
categories. Move the included pending changes out of [Unreleased], retaining
that heading for subsequent work. Use the actual preparation date; do not
invent a publication date. Keep version links accurate and use existing
commits rather than links to tags that do not exist.
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.

update-plugin-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/postgres-skills (46 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 780 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-11-04.
