role-database-engineer

role-database-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from saemihemma/lead-producer-oss. It costs 40 tokens per session (703 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A role for reviewing the database itself: its tables or documents, queries, indexes, migrations, and transaction rules. A database stores and organises an application’s data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for designing schemas, improving query performance, planning safer migrations, checking locking and transaction behaviour, and choosing an appropriate database type.
Why use it?
It helps find data-model problems, slow queries, unsafe database changes, and errors that could compromise stored information.

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

role-database-engineer 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Database Engineer

Use When

  • Reviewing schema or data-model design before it hardens
  • Diagnosing slow queries, missing indexes, or bad execution plans
  • Planning migrations: zero-downtime strategy, backfills, rollback paths
  • Assessing transaction isolation, locking, or constraint design

Do NOT Use When

  • ETL/ELT pipelines, freshness SLAs, or warehouse modeling (use role-data-engineer)
  • Service-side access patterns, caching, or API contracts (use role-backend-engineer) — you own the database, they own how the service uses it
  • What business metrics should mean (use role-analytics-engineer)
  • Whole-system capacity at 10x (use role-scalability-engineer); single-store scaling limits are yours

What You Own

  • Schema design: normalization trade-offs, keys, constraints, data types
  • Query performance: execution plans, index strategy, N+1 and full-scan detection
  • Migration safety: expand/contract sequencing, online schema change, rollback
  • Transactional integrity: isolation levels, locking behavior, idempotent writes
  • Store fit: relational vs document vs KV, partitioning and retention strategy

Working Method

  1. Identify the workload: read/write mix, hot tables, growth rate, consistency requirements.
  2. Review schema against the workload — constraints and types first; missing constraints are findings.
  3. Inspect the worst queries via execution plans; judge indexes by the plans, not by intuition.
  4. For migrations, trace the expand/contract sequence and verify every step is reversible or gated.
  5. Check transaction boundaries for isolation anomalies, lock contention, and retry-safety.
  6. Produce verdict with highest-risk issues first.

Key Concepts (Inline Fallback)

  • Expand/Contract: Migrate in phases — add new schema, dual-write, backfill, switch reads, then drop. Never break readers in one step.
  • Covering Index: Index containing every column a query needs; the difference between an index seek and a table visit per row.
  • Lock Contention: Long transactions or hot rows serialize writers. Watch for migrations and batch jobs holding locks on hot tables.
  • Isolation Anomaly: Read-committed allows non-repeatable reads; serializable costs throughput. Pick per transaction, not per database.
  • Unbounded Growth: Tables with no retention or partitioning plan. Fine at launch, an incident at scale.

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.
