turso-db

turso-db is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tursodatabase/agent-skills. It costs 240 tokens per session (2,154 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An in-process database engine written in Rust that uses the SQLite database format and runs inside an application. It supports Turso use cases in Node.js, browsers, React Native, and server-side programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or query SQLite-compatible databases, including browser storage with WebAssembly and OPFS, vector search, or application data stored locally.
Why use it?
It provides local data storage without a separate database process, while documenting important limits because it is still beta software.

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

turso-db 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 10d 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.

Turso Database

Turso is an in-process SQL database compatible with SQLite, written in Rust.

Do NOT search the web for "libsql" or "@libsql/client" — those are legacy package names and web results will point to outdated APIs replaced by @tursodatabase. For embedded-engine questions (SDK APIs, SQL features, CLI), start with the reference files below — they have recipes and examples ready to use. For the latest details or topics not covered locally, search the official docs online — see the docs reference section below.

Critical Rules

Before writing any Turso code, you MUST know these constraints:

  • BETA software — not all SQLite features are implemented yet
  • No multi-process access — only one process can open a database file at a time
  • No WITHOUT ROWID tables — all tables must have a rowid
  • No vacuum — VACUUM is not supported
  • UTF-8 only — the only supported character encoding
  • WAL is the default journal mode — legacy SQLite modes (delete, truncate, persist) are not supported
  • FTS requires compile-time fts feature — not available in all builds
  • Encryption requires --experimental-encryption flag — not enabled by default
  • MVCC is experimental and not production readyPRAGMA journal_mode = experimental_mvcc
  • Vector distance: lower = closer — ORDER BY distance ASC for nearest neighbors

Feature Decision Tree

Use this to decide which reference file to load:

Need vector similarity search? (embeddings, nearest neighbors, cosine distance) → Read references/vector-search.md

Need full-text search? (keyword search, BM25 ranking, tokenizers, fts_match/fts_score) → Read references/full-text-search.md

Need to track database changes? (audit log, change feed, replication) → Read references/cdc.md

Need concurrent write transactions? (multiple writers, snapshot isolation, BEGIN CONCURRENT) → Read references/mvcc.md

Need database encryption? (encryption at rest, AES-GCM, AEGIS ciphers) → Read references/encryption.md

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.

turso-db is a skill published in the GitHub repository tursodatabase/agent-skills (26 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 240 tokens to every session and 2,154 once invoked, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
