Skills for AI agents working with databases

What it solves

It provides specialized database knowledge and operational guidance to AI coding assistants, helping them generate more accurate schema designs, optimize queries, and troubleshoot database-specific issues.

How it works

The project organizes database expertise into "skills" stored in sub-directories. Each skill contains a SKILL.md file with instructions and workflows, and optional reference documents. These can be integrated into AI tools like Cursor or via skills.sh to provide the AI with the necessary context to handle specific database technologies.

Who it’s for

Developers using AI coding assistants who need expert-level guidance on MySQL, PostgreSQL, Vitess, or Neki (PlanetScale's distributed Postgres).

Highlights

  • Specialized skills for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Vitess, and Neki.
  • Integration with Cursor as a plugin.
  • Support for schema planning, query tuning, and migration planning.
  • Modular structure allowing for the addition of new database skills.
