MySQL relational database. Covers queries, indexes, and optimization. Use when working with MySQL databases. USE WHEN: user mentions "mysql", "mariadb", asks about "AUTO_INCREMENT", "ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE", "GROUP_CONCAT", "mysql specific syntax" DO NOT USE FOR: PostgreSQL - use `postgresql` instead, MongoDB - use `mongodb` instead, Oracle - use `oracle` instead, SQL Server - use `sqlserver` instead

What this skill does

# MySQL Core Knowledge

> **Deep Knowledge**: Use `mcp__documentation__fetch_docs` with technology: `mysql` for comprehensive documentation.

## Table Definition

```sql
CREATE TABLE users (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
    INDEX idx_email (email),
    INDEX idx_created (created_at)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
```

## Common Queries

```sql
-- Pagination
SELECT * FROM users
WHERE is_active = TRUE
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 20 OFFSET 0;

-- Join
SELECT u.*, COUNT(p.id) as post_count
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN posts p ON p.user_id = u.id
GROUP BY u.id;

-- Upsert
INSERT INTO users (email, name)
VALUES (?, ?)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE name = VALUES(name);
```

## Key Differences from PostgreSQL

| Feature | MySQL | PostgreSQL |
|---------|-------|------------|
| Auto ID | `AUTO_INCREMENT` | `SERIAL` |
| Boolean | `TINYINT(1)` | `BOOLEAN` |
| Upsert | `ON DUPLICATE KEY` | `ON CONFLICT` |
| JSON | `JSON` | `JSONB` (indexed) |

## When NOT to Use This Skill

- **PostgreSQL-specific features** - Use `postgresql` skill for JSONB, arrays, window functions
- **NoSQL operations** - Use `mongodb` or `redis` skills for document/key-value stores
- **Oracle database** - Use `oracle` skill for Oracle-specific features
- **SQL Server** - Use `sqlserver` skill for T-SQL and SQL Server features
- **ORM abstractions** - Use framework-specific skills (Prisma, TypeORM, Sequelize)

## Anti-Patterns

| Anti-Pattern | Issue | Solution |
|--------------|-------|----------|
| `SELECT *` in production | Transfers unnecessary data, performance impact | Specify needed columns explicitly |
| Missing `WHERE` on UPDATE/DELETE | Modifies all rows unintentionally | Always include WHERE clause |
| Missing indexes on JOIN/WHERE columns | Full table scans, slow queries | Add indexes on frequently queried columns |
| MyISAM for transactional data | No transaction support, table-level locking | Use InnoDB engine |
| `LIKE '%pattern'` | Cannot use index, full scan | Use `LIKE 'pattern%'` or fulltext search |
| Missing `LIMIT` on large tables | Can crash application | Always paginate results |
| Using `ENUM` for frequently changing values | Requires ALTER TABLE to add values | Use lookup table instead |
| Missing foreign keys | Data integrity issues | Define proper FK constraints |
| N+1 query problem | One query per row in loop | Use JOINs or batch queries |
| Not using prepared statements | SQL injection risk, slower performance | Use parameterized queries |

## Quick Troubleshooting

| Problem | Diagnostic | Fix |
|---------|------------|-----|
| Slow queries | `EXPLAIN SELECT ...` | Add indexes, rewrite query, analyze execution plan |
| High CPU usage | `SHOW PROCESSLIST` to find slow queries | Optimize top queries, add indexes |
| Connection limit reached | `SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Threads_connected'` | Increase max_connections, use connection pooling |
| Lock wait timeout | Check `SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS` | Reduce transaction time, optimize queries |
| Disk space full | `SELECT table_schema, SUM(data_length+index_length) FROM information_schema.tables GROUP BY 1` | Archive old data, optimize tables |
| Replication lag | `SHOW SLAVE STATUS` | Increase resources, tune binlog settings |
| Table corruption | `CHECK TABLE table_name` | Run `REPAIR TABLE` or restore from backup |
| Deadlocks | Check error log and `SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS` | Reduce transaction scope, access tables in same order |

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

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".

Backend & APIsscripts

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.
