Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to design data architectures, including defining schemas for relational databases and NoSQL stores. It can generate SQL scripts for creating tables and indexes, as well as suggest appropriate data types and constraints. The agent can also propose optimal indexing strategies to improve query performance.
When to use it
- You need a database schema designed for a new application or feature.
- You're migrating data between different database systems (e.g., relational to NoSQL).
- Existing queries are slow, and you suspect the database indexes are not optimal.
- You want to define a data model that supports specific analytical requirements.
Key capabilities
- Schema design for relational databases
- Schema design for NoSQL stores
- Generation of SQL scripts (CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX)
- Data type and constraint recommendations
- Indexing strategy suggestions
Example prompts
- "Design a database schema to store customer order information, including products, quantities, and shipping addresses."
- "I'm moving from PostgreSQL to MongoDB. Can you design a NoSQL schema that mirrors my existing relational data?"
- "My query for retrieving recent orders is slow. Suggest some indexes I could add to improve performance."
Tips & gotchas
The agent’s output should be reviewed by a database administrator or experienced developer, as it may require adjustments based on specific environment and operational considerations. Providing context about existing systems or data volumes will help the agent generate more relevant suggestions.
