What PostgreSQL index types does this skill support?

It provides comprehensive patterns for B-tree, Hash, GIN (for arrays and JSONB), GiST (for spatial and full-text search), and BRIN indexes for large datasets.

How does this skill help with database performance tuning?

The skill includes guidance on query plan analysis, using EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and implementing partial or covering indexes to minimize disk I/O.

Can I use this skill to manage index bloat?

Yes, it includes specialized SQL queries to detect index bloat and duplicate indexes, along with commands to reindex concurrently.

Does it support zero-downtime database changes?

Absolutely. It prioritizes concurrent operations (CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY) to ensure that indexing tasks do not lock tables or interrupt production traffic.
