Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00028 | $0.01072 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00429 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00214 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
postgres-patterns 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 28d 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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PostgreSQL Patterns
Use the project's installed version and conventions. Verify version-sensitive APIs,
security settings, and deployment support with documentation-lookup before
applying examples; these patterns are reference guidance, not a tested guarantee
for every current release. Do not replace an existing toolchain solely to match
an example.
Quick reference for PostgreSQL best practices. For detailed guidance, use the database-reviewer agent.
When to Activate
- Writing SQL queries or migrations
- Designing database schemas
- Troubleshooting slow queries
- Implementing Row Level Security
- Setting up connection pooling
Quick Reference
Index Cheat Sheet
| Query Pattern | Index Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
WHERE col = value |
B-tree (default) | CREATE INDEX idx ON t (col) |
WHERE col > value |
B-tree | CREATE INDEX idx ON t (col) |
WHERE a = x AND b > y |
Composite | CREATE INDEX idx ON t (a, b) |
WHERE jsonb @> '{}' |
GIN | CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING gin (col) |
WHERE tsv @@ query |
GIN | CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING gin (col) |
| Time-series ranges | BRIN | CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING brin (col) |
Data Type Quick Reference
| Use Case | Correct Type | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| IDs | bigint |
int, random UUID |
| Strings | text |
varchar(255) |
| Timestamps | timestamptz |
timestamp |
| Money | numeric(10,2) |
float |
| Flags | boolean |
varchar, int |
Common Patterns
Composite Index Order:
-- Equality columns first, then range columns
CREATE INDEX idx ON orders (status, created_at);
-- Works for: WHERE status = 'pending' AND created_at > '2024-01-01'
Covering Index:
CREATE INDEX idx ON users (email) INCLUDE (name, created_at);
-- Avoids table lookup for SELECT email, name, created_at
Partial Index:
CREATE INDEX idx ON users (email) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
-- Smaller index, only includes active users
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.

postgres-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository sjarmak/coding-agent-workflows (7 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,072 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-10-02.
