neon

neon is a skill for Claude Code from ourobx/agent-ebpf. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,905 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database connection for Neon Postgres, a hosted SQL database, with a local fallback for preview environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to store users’ data, application state, tables, and other information that needs to persist or be queried.
Why use it?
It lets an app keep data after a browser session ends and share it across devices, while still allowing previews to run without the hosted database.

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

neon 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 1mo 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 — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Neon Postgres

The database is opt-in (AGENTS.md §0.5): use it only when the app needs data that outlives a browser session or is shared across devices. Otherwise ship no migrations, don't import @/lib/db, and keep state in localStorage / zustand.

This template ships a ready-made, dual-mode database integration:

  • Configured (env var set, e.g. deployed): real Neon Postgres.
  • Not configured (sandbox live preview): the DB falls back to a local PGLite (embedded WASM Postgres), so the preview always renders. Build against the @/lib/db helper; both modes work with the same API.

Packages are preinstalled — do not npm install them: pg (node-postgres, the regular Postgres driver) and @electric-sql/pglite (local DB fallback).

For user accounts, sign-in, and reading the current user, see the separate auth skill — this skill is just the database.

Turning the database on

Set deploy.database to true in .grok/app-env.json:

{ "VITE_AUTH_ENABLED": "false", "deploy": { "database": true } }

That is what tells the platform to provision Neon for the deployed app; leave it false and the deploy gets no DATABASE_URL, so the app silently runs on a throwaway PGLite that loses its rows. Shipping migrations/*.sql, or sign-in, provisions one regardless — this flag is for an app that queries @/lib/db without either. It is not a VITE_ key and never reaches the browser.

Env vars — do not create a .env file

Never write a .env / .env.local / .env.example for the database. In the sandbox live preview, leave DATABASE_URL unset — @/lib/db automatically uses embedded PGLite. When the app is deployed, the platform injects DATABASE_URL (Neon); you do not provision or write it yourself.

Var Where Purpose
DATABASE_URL server Neon connection string when deployed (optional — PGLite fallback if unset)

Never hardcode it; never expose non-VITE_ vars to the client.

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.

neon is a skill published in the GitHub repository ourobx/agent-ebpf (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,905 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 2026-09-04.
