What does this skill do?

Supabase Postgres Best Practices is an open-source skill maintained by Supabase for Postgres performance optimization and database best practices. It helps agents review SQL, schema designs, indexes, database configuration, and Supabase-specific Postgres usage.

The source skill organizes guidance into eight priority categories: query performance, connection management, security and RLS, schema design, concurrency and locking, data access patterns, monitoring and diagnostics, and advanced Postgres features.

  • Reviews SQL queries, indexes, and query plans for performance issues

  • Covers connection management, pooling, scaling, and database configuration

  • Includes Supabase and Postgres guidance for RLS and security-sensitive access

  • Helps agents use rule-based references with incorrect and correct SQL examples

How it works

1

Identify the database task

The agent starts by determining whether the request involves query writing, schema design, indexing, RLS, connection management, locking, diagnostics, or configuration.

2

Select the priority category

The workflow maps the task to the relevant rule category, prioritizing query performance, connection management, and security-sensitive RLS guidance first.

3

Apply concrete Postgres guidance

The agent uses the relevant rule file to compare incorrect and correct patterns, reason about query plans, and suggest safer SQL or schema changes.

4

Produce review-ready recommendations

The final output can include rewritten SQL, index recommendations, schema notes, RLS guidance, diagnostics steps, or configuration changes for human review.

Best use cases for this skill

  • Query performance review: Help agents inspect slow SQL, missing indexes, partial-index opportunities, and query-plan issues.

  • Supabase schema design: Review table structure, access patterns, and database configuration for Supabase-backed applications.

  • RLS and security checks: Guide agents through row-level security and secure data-access patterns before implementation.

  • Database operations support: Triage connection pooling, locking, monitoring, diagnostics, and scaling questions for Postgres systems.
