A connection setup guide for PostgreSQL, a widely used relational database, as a source for moving data to Snowflake.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure and test a PostgreSQL connection with a host, database, user, password, SSL setting, and optional port or timeout.
Why use it?
It avoids missed connection settings and handles secure connections to hosted or self-managed PostgreSQL databases.

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

postgresql-connection 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 2d 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 Connection Skill

On Entry

Tell the user:

Setting up PostgreSQL connection — I'll configure and test a connection to your source PostgreSQL database. I'll need a few connection details.

Prerequisites

  • Network access to the PostgreSQL host (managed: RDS / Cloud SQL / Azure / Supabase / Neon, or self-hosted)
  • PostgreSQL username and password
  • The scai CLI installed and available

Required Connection Details

Standard Auth (only auth method supported in MVP)

Parameter Required Description
-c, --connection Yes Friendly name for this connection
--auth Yes standard
--host Yes PostgreSQL host
--port No TCP port (default: 5432)
--database Yes Database name
--user Yes PostgreSQL username
--password Yes PostgreSQL password
--ssl-mode No One of Disable, Allow, Prefer, Require, VerifyCA, VerifyFull (default: Require)
--connection-timeout No Connection timeout in seconds

SSL defaults to Require so managed PG (RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure, Supabase, Neon) works out of the box. For local Docker / dev, override with --ssl-mode Disable explicitly.

Workflow

Step 1: Ask How to Provide Credentials

Ask the user:

"I need the following to connect to PostgreSQL:

  • Host
  • Port (default 5432)
  • Database name
  • Username and password
  • SSL mode (default Require is right for managed PG)

How would you like to provide these?"

Options:

  1. 1Password — Credentials stored in 1Password vault
  2. Enter manually — Provide values directly

Step 2: Route Based on Answer

User says Action
"1Password" Follow ../1PASSWORD.md (PostgreSQL section)
"Enter manually" Proceed to Step 3
Other credential manager Check if ../references/<NAME>.md exists; if not, ask user to explain their setup

Step 3: Add the Connection

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.
