supabase-postgres-best-practices

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 importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.

An agent can have at most 8 skills. Custom skills aren't available in tenants that use Microsoft Purview Information Barriers.

Compatible isn't the same as safe. These verdicts only say whether a skill's files follow Microsoft's documented load rules. The checker reads files and never runs them, and it doesn't review what a skill or its scripts actually do. Read a skill's instructions and scripts before you add it to an agent.
