sql-pro

sql-pro is a skill for Claude Code from skillmds/skillmd. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,430 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of sql-pro, MIT.

An expert guide to SQL, the language used to read and change data in relational databases. It covers query writing, data modeling, performance tuning and both transactional and analytical workloads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write complex queries, analyze data, design SQL patterns, inspect EXPLAIN plans and improve query performance safely.
Why use it?
It helps remove slow or incorrect SQL by checking schemas, statistics, access paths and query plans before suggesting changes.

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

sql-pro 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 4d 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.
