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 optimizes ClickHouse queries to improve performance and efficiency. It analyzes query plans, identifies bottlenecks like full table scans or inefficient joins, and suggests modifications such as adding indexes or rewriting the query logic. The goal is to reduce execution time and resource consumption for ClickHouse workloads.
When to use it
- Slow Queries: When you have ClickHouse queries that are consistently taking a long time to execute.
- Resource Contention: If your ClickHouse cluster is experiencing high CPU or memory usage due to inefficient queries.
- Complex Joins: For queries involving multiple tables and complex join conditions, where optimization can significantly impact performance.
- Large Datasets: When querying very large datasets in ClickHouse, query optimization becomes crucial for acceptable response times.
Key capabilities
- Query plan analysis
- Bottleneck identification (full table scans, inefficient joins)
- Index suggestion
- Query rewriting recommendations
Example prompts
- "Optimize this ClickHouse query:
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ..." - "Analyze the performance of this ClickHouse query and suggest improvements."
- "I'm seeing slow execution times for queries joining tables X and Y. Can you help?"
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires access to the ClickHouse query being analyzed. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions and context to effectively evaluate and recommend optimizations.
