Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill optimizes PostgreSQL database performance. It analyzes query execution plans, identifies bottlenecks like missing indexes or inefficient queries, and suggests improvements to enhance speed and resource utilization. The agent can also automate the application of these optimizations after validation.
When to use it
- Slow Query Resolution: When a specific SQL query is taking an unexpectedly long time to execute.
- Database Performance Degradation: When overall database response times are slowing down over time, impacting application performance.
- Resource Intensive Operations: To optimize complex reporting queries or data migration processes that consume significant server resources.
- Proactive Tuning: Regularly assess and improve database efficiency before performance issues arise.
Key capabilities
- Query plan analysis
- Index recommendation
- Query rewriting suggestions
- Automated optimization application (with validation)
Example prompts
- "Analyze the query plan for this SQL statement:
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customer_id = 123;and suggest improvements." - "Identify slow queries on our production database server and recommend index changes to improve performance."
- "Can you rewrite this query to be more efficient?
...complex SQL query..."
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires access to the PostgreSQL database with appropriate permissions to analyze queries and potentially modify schema. Always validate suggested optimizations in a non-production environment before applying them to production data.
