Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pg_cron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pg_restore) or…

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

# Supabase Postgres Best Practices

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for Postgres, maintained by Supabase. Contains rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated query optimization and schema design.

## This repository (Asymmetric-al/core)

- Auth flows in Next.js without heavy SQL work: `docs/ai/skills/nextjs-supabase-auth/SKILL.md`
- Broader Supabase product surface (CLI, MCP, Storage, etc.): `docs/ai/skills/supabase/SKILL.md`
- Migration and seed workflow: `supabase/AGENTS.md`

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

- Writing SQL queries or designing schemas
- Implementing indexes or query optimization
- Reviewing database performance issues
- Configuring connection pooling or scaling
- Optimizing for Postgres-specific features
- Working with Row-Level Security (RLS)
- Reviewing migrations under `supabase/migrations/*.sql`

Do not use this skill when:

- The task is only UI/UX and has no data-path impact
- The task is only auth UX with no database/query work (use `nextjs-supabase-auth`)

## Rule Categories by Priority

| Priority | Category                 | Impact      | Prefix      |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/supabase-postgres-best-practices@sha256:3c0ac58c0b0af965

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
