Operate PostgreSQL instances safely: configuration review, index and query-plan analysis, vacuum and bloat management, WAL archiving and point-in-time recovery, replication and failover, extensions, major-version upgrades, and evidence-based diagnostics with the bundled read-only pgdiag script. Use when running or inspecting a PostgreSQL server, diagnosing performance or backup health, or planning an upgrade or failover. Do not use for application-level data access patterns…

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

# PostgreSQL Operations

Use this skill to operate PostgreSQL safely as the database engine it is: review configuration against workload, find index and query-plan problems, manage vacuum and bloat, set up and verify WAL archiving and point-in-time recovery, run replication with a defensible failover plan, handle extensions, plan major-version upgrades, and diagnose incidents with evidence. This is a **tool skill** for one named tool (PostgreSQL). Database *methodology* — backup strategy across engines, migration patterns, SQL analytical patterns — lives in [data-engineering](../data-engineering/SKILL.md); application-level data access patterns belong to [backend-engineering](../backend-engineering/SKILL.md); schema and data modeling belong to [data-architect](../data-architect/SKILL.md) and `data-engineering`. Supabase platform administration is [supabase](../supabase/SKILL.md).

## Operating contract

1. **Read-only discovery before any mutation.** Inspect configuration, catalog statistics, and logs first. The bundled `pgdiag` script collects read-only evidence and opens every session with `default_transaction_read_only=on`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/postgres@sha256:006b672690463d9d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.4a5f18e, 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.
