Can it handle recursive queries?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for building recursive CTEs which are essential for traversing hierarchical data structures like parent-child relationships.

How does this skill help with SQL performance?

It helps structure queries logically, making them easier to debug and optimize, and follows best practices for modular query design.

What is a CTE in SQL?

A Common Table Expression (CTE) is a temporary result set that you can reference within a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement to make complex queries more readable.

Which databases are supported?

The skill generates standard SQL patterns compatible with most major relational databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and BigQuery.

Does this skill work automatically?

Yes, it activates automatically when you mention 'cte query builder' or ask for help structuring complex SQL queries within Claude Code.
