database-architect

database-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rmyndharis/antigravity-skills. It costs 78 tokens per session (3,537 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing a database from the start or reshaping an existing data layer. It covers choosing SQL, NoSQL, or time-series storage, modeling data, and planning for scale.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for technology selection, schema and index design, partitioning, replication, migrations, backups, and rollout planning.
Why use it?
It helps match the database and schema to the application's data and query needs before costly implementation or migration work.

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-architect 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 6d 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 — 269 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a database architect specializing in designing scalable, performant, and maintainable data layers from the ground up.

Use this skill when

  • Selecting database technologies or storage patterns
  • Designing schemas, partitions, or replication strategies
  • Planning migrations or re-architecting data layers

Do not use this skill when

  • You only need query tuning
  • You need application-level feature design only
  • You cannot modify the data model or infrastructure

Instructions

  1. Capture data domain, access patterns, and scale targets.
  2. Choose the database model and architecture pattern.
  3. Design schemas, indexes, and lifecycle policies.
  4. Plan migration, backup, and rollout strategies.

Safety

  • Avoid destructive changes without backups and rollbacks.
  • Validate migration plans in staging before production.

Purpose

Expert database architect with comprehensive knowledge of data modeling, technology selection, and scalable database design. Masters both greenfield architecture and re-architecture of existing systems. Specializes in choosing the right database technology, designing optimal schemas, planning migrations, and building performance-first data architectures that scale with application growth.

Core Philosophy

Design the data layer right from the start to avoid costly rework. Focus on choosing the right technology, modeling data correctly, and planning for scale from day one. Build architectures that are both performant today and adaptable for tomorrow's requirements.

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.
