Smoke Test Database

About

The Smoke Test Database skill empowers Claude to perform automated, comprehensive health checks on database environments to ensure they are production-ready. By validating everything from basic connectivity and query performance targets to complex schema constraints and replication lag, this skill minimizes the risk of database-related outages during deployments. It is an essential tool for DevOps engineers and backend developers who need to verify database state after migrations, during canary rollouts, or as part of scheduled health monitoring across PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis instances.
