supabase-postgres-best-practices skill
Supabase's Postgres performance and security rulebook: 34 rule files on queries, connections, schema, locking, RLS and monitoring, for any Postgres.
Our verdict Recommended
A compact, well-organized Postgres rulebook from a vendor that runs Postgres at scale; load it for any database change.
What the supabase-postgres-best-practices skill does
This skill is a prioritized rulebook that an agent consults before writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database. The entry file is only about 3 KB; it lists eight rule categories ordered by impact and tells the agent when to load them: writing SQL, designing schemas, adding indexes, reviewing slow queries, configuring connection pooling and working with Row-Level Security. Critical categories are query performance, connection management and security with RLS. Next come schema design (primary keys, data types, constraints, foreign-key indexes, lowercase identifiers, partitioning), concurrency and locking (short transactions, deadlock prevention, SKIP LOCKED, advisory locks), data access patterns (batch inserts, N+1, pagination, upserts), monitoring (EXPLAIN ANALYZE, pg_stat_statements, vacuum) and advanced features (full-text search, JSONB indexing).
The depth is in the 34 files under references/, each named with its category prefix, such as query-composite-indexes, conn-pooling, lock-deadlock-prevention, security-rls-performance and schema-partitioning, plus a contributing guide and rule template. The description says it applies to Postgres running anywhere, not only on Supabase. There are no scripts or evals, and no external accounts or tools are needed.
Good for
- Reviewing schemas, indexes and queries written by an agent
- Tuning connection pooling and locking behavior
- Writing RLS policies that stay fast
Not for
- Non-Postgres databases
- Supabase product tasks like Auth or Edge Functions (use the supabase skill)
Depth 3/5
A short 3 KB entry file backed by 34 rule reference files, but no scripts, tests or evals.
