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 PostgreSQL queries to improve performance and reduce resource consumption. It analyzes SQL statements, identifies potential bottlenecks, and suggests or automatically applies optimizations like index creation or query rewriting. The goal is to significantly speed up database operations and enhance overall application efficiency.
When to use it
- Slow Report Generation: When generating complex reports from a PostgreSQL database takes an unacceptably long time.
- High Database Load: To reduce CPU usage and latency when the database server is experiencing high load.
- Query Performance Tuning: As part of a proactive strategy to regularly review and improve query performance in production environments.
- Application Migration: When migrating an application to PostgreSQL, ensuring queries are optimized for the new environment.
Key capabilities
- SQL statement analysis
- Index suggestion
- Query rewriting
- Performance bottleneck identification
Example prompts
- "Optimize this SQL query:
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customer_id = 123;" - "Analyze the performance of this stored procedure and suggest improvements."
- "Can you identify any missing indexes that would improve query speed on the 'products' table?"
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires access to a PostgreSQL database. The agent needs appropriate permissions to analyze queries and potentially modify the schema (e.g., create indexes).
