Audit whether the indexes fit the queries, and what breaks first under load: every statement the Postgres storage sends, mapped to the index that serves it and measured with EXPLAIN on a database of its own seeded at a stated scale, under the login and the tenant scope the application uses. Reports each statement's verdict, the hot paths, the unused indexes, and fixes tested on the same data. Never changes anything.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# audit-query-indexes

Every query the system sends, the index that serves it, and what it
costs when the data is large. The costs are measured, not guessed: on a
database the run makes and seeds, under the same login, row-level
security policy, and scope the storage funnel uses.

## Input

`[--scale <n>] [--focus <namespace,...>] [--contention]`

`--scale` is the seed's, `1` by default (5,000 people with a personal
org each, a team org of 200 members, a million change events, 50,000 work
items); `0.01`
is a quick run with the same shape, whose times prove the wiring and
nothing about scale. `--focus` narrows the audit, the hot paths of step
5 included, to some namespaces (`tenancy`, `change_events`, `work`, ...); every
namespace by default. `--contention` adds the measure of locks held
across round trips. The audit reads and runs the checkout, tools and
code alike; to audit another commit, run it from a checkout of that
commit that has `ops/audit/`. Every command runs from the repository
root.

## Role and credential

None, local only. The skill runs on the local stack (`make
infra-up`, with `make migrate` run once), in a database it makes, seeds,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/audit-query-indexes@sha256:74d7ffe2681f8bbc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.62aa70e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
