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 optimizes PostgreSQL database performance. It analyzes query execution plans, identifies bottlenecks like missing indexes or inefficient queries, and suggests specific improvements to enhance speed and resource utilization. The skill aims to reduce query latency and overall database load for improved application responsiveness.
When to use it
- Slow Queries: When you have identified a specific SQL query that is taking an unexpectedly long time to execute.
- High Database Load: If your PostgreSQL server is consistently experiencing high CPU or I/O utilization.
- Application Performance Issues: When users are reporting slow response times from applications relying on the database.
- Post-Deployment Tuning: After deploying a new application or significant data changes, to proactively optimize performance.
Key capabilities
- Query plan analysis
- Index recommendations
- Query optimization suggestions
- Bottleneck identification
Example prompts
- "Analyze this query:
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customer_id = 123;and suggest optimizations." - "My database is running slowly. Can you identify the biggest performance bottlenecks?"
- “Explain the execution plan for this query and recommend improvements.”
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires access to the PostgreSQL server or a means of providing query plans. The quality of recommendations depends on the accuracy and completeness of the provided information; ensure the AI agent has sufficient context about your database schema and workload.
