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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides access to PostgreSQL patterns, allowing for advanced text searching and manipulation within database queries. It enables the extraction of specific data based on complex string matching rules using pattern matching operators like ~, !~, SIMILAR TO, and NOT SIMILAR TO. This is particularly useful when dealing with unstructured or semi-structured data stored in PostgreSQL databases.
When to use it
- Extracting email addresses from a text field containing customer feedback.
- Identifying records where product descriptions contain specific keywords or phrases using regular expressions.
- Filtering log entries based on patterns found within timestamped messages.
- Analyzing user-generated content for sentiment analysis by identifying key phrases and their associated meanings.
Key capabilities
~: Matches a string against a regular expression pattern.!~: Does not match a string against a regular expression pattern.SIMILAR TO: Matches a string against a SQL-standard pattern.NOT SIMILAR TO: Does not match a string against a SQL-standard pattern.
Example prompts
- "Find all customer names in the 'customers' table where their name matches the pattern '^[A-Z][a-z]+ [A-Z][a-z]+$'."
- "Extract all email addresses from the 'feedback' column in the 'reviews' table using a regular expression."
- “Show me records from the ‘logs’ table where the message starts with ‘ERROR’ and contains a timestamp.”
Tips & gotchas
- Requires familiarity with PostgreSQL query syntax and regular expressions.
- Complex patterns can impact query performance; optimize them carefully for large datasets.
