Live repository

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 sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills at 5a4cdd9df8.

    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 equips AI agents with the knowledge to implement robust PostgreSQL configurations, ensuring high performance and data integrity through industry-standard practices. It guides agents in optimizing query execution, managing connection pools, and securing database instances against common vulnerabilities.

When to use it

  • Configuring a new production-grade PostgreSQL instance for an application deployment.
  • Optimizing slow-running queries or analyzing execution plans for bottlenecks.
  • Hardening database security settings to comply with compliance requirements.
  • Tuning connection limits and memory parameters for high-concurrency workloads.

Key capabilities

  • Query optimization strategies and indexing techniques.
  • Connection pooling configuration and management.
  • Security best practices including authentication and encryption.
  • Performance tuning for memory and CPU utilization.
  • Backup and recovery procedure planning.

Example prompts

  • "Configure a PostgreSQL instance with connection pooling for a high-traffic e-commerce site."
  • "Analyze this slow SQL query and suggest optimization strategies using execution plans."
  • "Generate a checklist for hardening a production PostgreSQL database against security threats."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the specific PostgreSQL version documentation, as features vary significantly across releases. Always validate generated configurations in a staging environment before applying them to production systems to prevent unintended downtime or data loss.
