Does it provide templates for triggers?

Yes, it includes standardized PL/pgSQL functions and triggers for automatically updating 'updated_at' columns on row modifications.

Does this skill work with existing databases?

Yes, the skill includes logic to audit existing schemas and respect established patterns before suggesting or applying new conventions.

What version of PostgreSQL does this skill support?

This skill is specifically optimized for PostgreSQL 15 and newer, utilizing modern features like identity columns and improved jsonb handling.

Why does it prefer timestamptz over timestamp?

Using timestamptz ensures timezone information is correctly handled and preserved, preventing ambiguous data interpretation when users connect from different timezones.

Why are plural table names recommended?

Plural table names (e.g., 'users' instead of 'user') are a common SQL convention and help avoid conflicts with reserved keywords like USER or ORDER.

Enforces modern PostgreSQL best practices, naming conventions, and schema design patterns for robust database development.

This skill provides Claude with a comprehensive set of rules and best practices for PostgreSQL 15+ environments, focusing on schema architecture, data type selection, and indexing strategies. It ensures consistent snake_case naming, promotes the use of identity columns over legacy serial types, enforces the use of timestamptz for time-sensitive data, and provides standardized patterns for constraints and triggers. By integrating these conventions, developers can automate the creation of high-performance, maintainable, and standard-compliant database schemas while maintaining compatibility with existing project structures.
