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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill assists in designing relational databases. It can generate SQL schema definitions based on textual descriptions of data requirements, and help optimize existing schemas for performance or clarity. The tool aims to streamline the database design process by translating natural language into structured database models.
When to use it
- You need a database schema but don't know where to start – describe your data needs in plain English.
- You have an existing database that is slow and want suggestions for optimization.
- You’re refactoring a legacy database and require assistance with redesigning the structure.
- You are teaching someone about relational databases and need examples of schema creation.
Key capabilities
- Generates SQL schema definitions from natural language descriptions.
- Provides recommendations for optimizing existing database schemas.
- Supports relational database design principles.
Example prompts
- "Design a database for managing customer orders, including details about products, customers, and order history."
- "Optimize this SQL query:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 30;" - “Create a schema for a library catalog with tables for books, authors, and borrowers.”
Tips & gotchas
The skill is best suited for relational database designs. Complex or non-relational data models may require more manual intervention.
