Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    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

    Scanned erichowens/some_claude_skills at 6713fc7a64.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill optimizes PostgreSQL database performance. It analyzes query plans, identifies bottlenecks such as missing indexes or inefficient queries, and suggests specific improvements to enhance overall database speed and efficiency. The skill can also help with tuning configuration parameters for optimal resource utilization.

When to use it

  • Slow Query Performance: When you observe that certain queries are taking an unexpectedly long time to execute.
  • High Database Load: When your PostgreSQL server is experiencing high CPU or I/O usage, impacting application responsiveness.
  • Database Migration: To ensure optimal performance after migrating a database to a new server or version of PostgreSQL.
  • Regular Maintenance: As part of routine database maintenance to proactively identify and address potential performance issues.

Key capabilities

  • Query plan analysis
  • Index recommendation
  • Configuration tuning suggestions
  • Bottleneck identification

Example prompts

  • "Analyze the query plan for this SQL statement: SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customer_id = 123; and suggest improvements."
  • "My PostgreSQL server is experiencing high CPU load. What configuration parameters should I tune?"
  • "Recommend indexes for the 'products' table based on common query patterns."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the PostgreSQL database schema and, ideally, execution plans. Providing sample queries or workload information will help it generate more accurate recommendations.
