postgres-mastery

postgres-mastery is a skill for Codex from san-npm/skills-ws. It costs 69 tokens per session (468 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to running and tuning PostgreSQL, a relational database, for demanding workloads. It covers indexes, query plans, partitioning, vector search, connection pooling, migrations, backups, and replication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze slow queries with EXPLAIN ANALYZE, choose indexes, split large tables, add similarity search, configure PgBouncer, perform safer migrations, or plan backups and replication.
Why use it?
It helps find why queries or connections are slow and reduce risk during database changes. It also provides approaches for handling large tables, recovering data, and keeping additional database copies in sync.

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

postgres-mastery 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.

PostgreSQL Mastery

Production PostgreSQL patterns that go beyond CREATE INDEX. Index selection, query plan analysis, partitioning, pgvector for embeddings, zero-downtime migrations, and replication.

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.
