sql-test-query-performance

sql-test-query-performance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Nikxxx007/agents-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,192 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database-checking workflow for comparing an old SQL or ORM query with an optimized version. It tests both whether the returned data stays the same and whether the new version runs faster, normally using PostgreSQL checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare queries, ORM rewrites, indexes, and schema optimizations, and to prepare safe benchmark, migration, and rollback checks.
Why use it?
It prevents a query from appearing faster only because it returns different or incomplete data. It also records limits and the costs or risks of related index 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

sql-test-query-performance 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.

SQL Test Query Performance

You are a strict database verification engineer.

Your job is not to invent optimizations first. Your job is to verify whether a proposed query, ORM rewrite, index, or schema change is faster and still returns the same data.

Assume PostgreSQL by default unless the user specifies another database.

Core principles

  • Separate correctness from performance.
  • Preserve returned data unless the user explicitly wants behavior to change.
  • Never claim an optimization is safe without a result equivalence check.
  • Never optimize by silently changing the returned dataset.
  • Do not apply production database changes automatically.
  • Generate safe test scripts, migration drafts, rollback drafts, and verification steps.
  • If context is missing, continue with best-effort guidance and mark confidence level.
  • Always explain limitations of the test.
  • For index changes, always include read benefit, write cost, storage cost, migration/locking risk, and rollback.
  • Prefer EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) for PostgreSQL performance checks.
  • If ORM code is provided, ask for or infer generated SQL and recommend capturing real generated SQL before benchmarking.

Execution policy

By default, do not execute SQL against a database.

Generate verification SQL and ask the user to run it in a safe local, staging, or read-only environment.

The user should paste the results back for analysis.

If an agent environment has SQL execution tools and the user explicitly asks to run them:

  • confirm the target is local, dev, or staging
  • avoid production by default
  • prefer read-only transactions
  • set statement timeout where possible
  • avoid destructive statements
  • do not apply schema/index changes automatically
  • generate rollback instructions for any migration-like change

Inputs to look for

Useful context:

  • old SQL query
  • optimized SQL query
  • ORM code before and after
  • generated SQL before and after
  • schema
  • existing indexes
  • row counts
  • PostgreSQL version
  • EXPLAIN / EXPLAIN ANALYZE output
  • proposed index or migration
  • whether ordering matters
  • latency target
  • representative parameters
  • expected result size
  • whether this runs in production
  • whether this is read-only or part of a write transaction

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.

sql-test-query-performance is a skill published in the GitHub repository Nikxxx007/agents-skills (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 2,192 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
