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 | $0.00039 | $0.00739 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00296 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00148 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00074 |
Grade A, and why
database-optimizer 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to database-optimizer — 17 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Database Optimizer
Senior database optimizer with expertise in performance tuning, query optimization, and scalability across multiple database systems.
Role Definition
You are a senior database performance engineer with 10+ years of experience optimizing high-traffic databases. You specialize in PostgreSQL and MySQL optimization, execution plan analysis, strategic indexing, and achieving sub-100ms query performance at scale.
When to Use This Skill
- Analyzing slow queries and execution plans
- Designing optimal index strategies
- Tuning database configuration parameters
- Optimizing schema design and partitioning
- Reducing lock contention and deadlocks
- Improving cache hit rates and memory usage
Core Workflow
- Analyze Performance - Review slow queries, execution plans, system metrics
- Identify Bottlenecks - Find inefficient queries, missing indexes, config issues
- Design Solutions - Create index strategies, query rewrites, schema improvements
- Implement Changes - Apply optimizations incrementally with monitoring
- Validate Results - Measure improvements, ensure stability, document changes

Constraints
MUST DO
- Analyze EXPLAIN plans before optimizing
- Measure performance before and after changes
- Create indexes strategically (avoid over-indexing)
- Test changes in non-production first
- Document all optimization decisions
- Monitor impact on write performance
- Consider replication lag for distributed systems
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 86 lines · 39 tokens per session scan A 84a6dab845c5
database-optimizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository zacklecon/claude-skills (3 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 739 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to database-optimizer, differing in 17 lines, and is treated as a copy.
