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 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

    Scanned wimolivier/postgresql-best-practices at 5b09a73366.

    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 provides guidance on PostgreSQL best practices, covering topics like indexing, query optimization, and security. It can analyze SQL queries to suggest improvements for performance and efficiency. The agent can also offer recommendations for database design and maintenance based on established industry standards.

When to use it

  • You need help optimizing a slow-running SQL query in your PostgreSQL database.
  • You're designing a new PostgreSQL database schema and want to ensure best practices are followed.
  • You’re troubleshooting performance issues related to indexing or query planning.
  • You require advice on securing your PostgreSQL instance against common vulnerabilities.

Key capabilities

  • SQL Query Analysis & Optimization Suggestions
  • Database Design Recommendations
  • Indexing Best Practices
  • Security Hardening Guidance

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this SQL query and suggest improvements: SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customer_id = 123;"
  • "What are the best practices for indexing a table with millions of rows?"
  • “How can I secure my PostgreSQL database against SQL injection attacks?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness relies on providing accurate and complete SQL queries or database schema details. It is not a replacement for thorough understanding of PostgreSQL administration, but rather a tool to aid in best practice implementation.
