surrealql is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from surrealdb/agent-skills. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,268 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing and changing SurrealQL, the query language used by SurrealDB, a database that supports records, schemas, and graph relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or retrieve records, manage schemas, query relationships, write live queries, troubleshoot queries, or convert queries from another database language.
Why use it?
It helps create valid current-version queries and work through database or query changes without relying on outdated syntax.

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

surrealql scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

SurrealQL

A skill for writing and modifying SurrealQL queries to interact with SurrealDB databases.

SurrealQL is the official query language for SurrealDB. It is a modern, flexible, and powerful query language that is designed to be easy to learn and use.

When to use this skill

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Writing, modifying, or troubleshooting SurrealQL queries
  • Designing or managing schemas
  • Converting other query languages to SurrealQL

Version & Documentation

Always target the latest stable SurrealDB release. SurrealQL evolves between major versions, and syntax from older releases (e.g. SurrealDB 2.x) is a common source of incorrect, non-validating queries. Unless the user explicitly asks for an older version, generate current (3.x) syntax.

Determine the active version before generating version-sensitive syntax:

  • If the SurrealDB CLI is installed, run surreal version.

  • Otherwise, the latest released version is published as a plain string at https://download.surrealdb.com (e.g. v3.1.4):

    curl -s https://download.surrealdb.com
    

https://surrealdb.com/docs always documents the latest stable release — treat it as the source of truth for current syntax. When in doubt about whether a function or form still applies (for example type::* helpers and how record IDs are constructed), confirm against the current docs rather than assuming older behavior.

Rules & Conventions

  • SurrealQL is NOT ANSI-SQL. Never assume SQL knowledge from other databases applies. Always refer to the examples below or the documentation at https://surrealdb.com/docs for accurate syntax and behavior.
  • When SurrealQL is stored in a file, it should have a .surql extension.
  • SurrealQL is a relatively young language and changes between releases. Default to the latest SurrealDB version (see Version & Documentation) and refer to https://surrealdb.com/docs for the most up-to-date syntax.

Changes

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.
