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, Neon Serverless, configures the Neon Serverless Driver to optimize performance in serverless and edge computing environments. It enables AI agents to generate code for connecting to Neon databases within these architectures, supporting both HTTP clients (recommended for edge/serverless) and WebSocket pools (for Node.js long-lived connections). The skill also incorporates rules for generating TypeScript/JavaScript code that respects project configuration, particularly regarding path aliases.
When to use it
- Setting up database connections for edge functions like Vercel Edge or Cloudflare Workers.
- Configuring serverless APIs using platforms such as AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions.
- Optimizing database access for low-latency applications.
- Implementing connection pooling strategies in high-throughput applications.
Key capabilities
- Generates code for connecting to Neon databases via HTTP Client and WebSocket Pool adapters.
- Handles TypeScript/JavaScript import statements, respecting project
tsconfig.jsonpath aliases. - Defaults to relative imports when path aliases are unavailable or uncertain.
- Provides guidance on connection pooling strategies.
Example prompts
- "Generate code for connecting to my Neon database using an HTTP client in a Vercel Edge function."
- "Create a WebSocket Pool connection to my Neon database in a Node.js environment."
- “Write TypeScript code that imports from '@/lib/utils' if path aliases are defined, otherwise use relative imports.”
Tips & gotchas
- This skill is not recommended for complex multi-statement transactions (use the WebSocket Pool), persistent servers (use native PostgreSQL drivers), or offline-first applications.
- Refer to the
neon-serverless.mdcfile in the project root (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neondatabase-labs/ai-rules/main/neon-serverless.mdc) for comprehensive guidelines and troubleshooting. - Ensure the
@neondatabase/serverlesspackage is installed (npm install @neondatabase/serverless).
