php-agents-boilerplate: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/db-operations/SKILL.md

db-operations is a skill for Claude Code from velesnitski/php-agents-boilerplate. It costs 13 tokens per session (356 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for database migrations, query performance, backups, monitoring, and risky production changes. A migration is a controlled change to a database's structure or data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and test migrations, inspect slow queries with `EXPLAIN ANALYZE`, check indexes and N+1 queries, monitor databases, and handle dangerous operations safely.
Why use it?
It reduces common database risks, such as locking large tables, running slow queries, losing data, or changing production data without a backup.

Skill for Claude Code

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

db-operations 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Database Operations

Migration Safety

  • Always --pretend first on production
  • Always have a down() method
  • Never DROP or TRUNCATE without backup
  • Test migration on staging before prod
  • For large tables: use batched operations, avoid locking

Query Optimization Checklist

  1. Run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on slow queries
  2. Check for missing indexes (WHERE, JOIN, ORDER BY columns)
  3. Check for N+1 – use with() eager loading
  4. Avoid SELECT * – specify columns
  5. Use chunk() or cursor() for large result sets
  6. Consider composite indexes for multi-column WHERE

Dangerous Operations (require user confirmation)

  • DROP TABLE / DROP COLUMN
  • TRUNCATE
  • DELETE without WHERE
  • ALTER TABLE on large tables (may lock)
  • Any direct production DB modification

Backup Commands

mysqldump -u USER -p DB > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql
pg_dump -U USER DB > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql

Monitoring Queries

-- Active connections
SHOW PROCESSLIST;
-- Slow queries
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'slow_query%';
-- Table sizes
SELECT table_name, ROUND(data_length/1024/1024, 2) AS size_mb
FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'YOUR_DB';

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.
