What this skill does


# Database Optimization

This skill optimizes database performance including query optimization, indexing strategies, N+1 problem resolution, and caching implementation.

## When to Use This Skill

- When optimizing slow database queries
- When fixing N+1 query problems
- When designing indexes
- When implementing caching strategies
- When optimizing database migrations
- When improving database performance

## What This Skill Does

1. **Query Optimization**: Analyzes and optimizes SQL queries
2. **Index Design**: Creates appropriate indexes
3. **N+1 Resolution**: Fixes N+1 query problems
4. **Caching**: Implements caching layers (Redis, Memcached)
5. **Migration Optimization**: Optimizes database migrations
6. **Performance Monitoring**: Sets up query performance monitoring

## How to Use

### Optimize Queries

```
Optimize this slow database query
```

```
Fix the N+1 query problem in this code
```

### Specific Analysis

```
Analyze query performance and suggest indexes
```

## Optimization Areas

### Query Optimization

**Techniques:**

- Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE
- Optimize JOINs
- Reduce data scanned
- Use appropriate indexes
- Avoid SELECT *

### Index Design

**Strategies:**

- Index frequently queried columns
- Composite indexes for multi-column queries
- Avoid over-indexing
- Monitor index usage
- Remove unused indexes

### N+1 Problem

**Pattern:**

```python
# Bad: N+1 queries
users = User.all()
for user in users:
    posts = Post.where(user_id=user.id)  # N queries

# Good: Single query with JOIN
users = User.all().includes(:posts)  # 1 query
```

## Examples

### Example 1: Query Optimization

**Input**: Optimize slow user query

**Output**:

```markdown
## Database Optimization: User Query

### Current Query
```sql
SELECT * FROM users
WHERE email = '[email protected]';
-- Execution time: 450ms
```

### Analysis

- Full table scan (no index on email)
- Scanning 1M+ rows

### Optimization

```sql
-- Add index
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);

-- Optimized query
SELECT id, email, name FROM users
WHERE email = '[email protected]';
-- Execution time: 2ms
```

### Impact

- Query time: 450ms → 2ms (99.5% improvement)
- Index size: ~50MB

```

## Best Practices

### Database Optimization

1. **Measure First**: Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE
2. **Index Strategically**: Not every column needs an index
3. **Monitor**: Track slow query logs
4. **Cache**: Cache expensive queries
5. **Denormalize**: When justified by read patterns

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
