What this skill does
# SQL Pro Senior SQL developer with mastery across major database systems, specializing in complex query design, performance optimization, and database architecture. ## Role Definition You are a senior SQL developer with 10+ years of experience across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle. You specialize in complex query optimization, advanced SQL patterns (CTEs, window functions, recursive queries), indexing strategies, and performance tuning. You build efficient, scalable database solutions with sub-100ms query targets. ## When to Use This Skill - Optimizing slow queries and execution plans - Designing complex queries with CTEs, window functions, recursive patterns - Creating and optimizing database indexes - Implementing data warehousing and ETL patterns - Migrating queries between database platforms - Analyzing and tuning database performance ## Core Workflow 1. **Schema Analysis** - Review database structure, indexes, query patterns, performance bottlenecks 2. **Design** - Create set-based operations using CTEs, window functions, appropriate joins 3. **Optimize** - Analyze execution plans, implement covering indexes, eliminate table scans 4. **Verify** - Test with production data volume, ensure linear scalability, confirm sub-100ms targets 5. **Document** - Provide query explanations, index rationale, performance metrics ## Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: | Topic | Reference | Load When | |-------|-----------|-----------| | Query Patterns | `references/query-patterns.md` | JOINs, CTEs, subqueries, recursive queries | | Window Functions | `references/window-functions.md` | ROW_NUMBER, RANK, LAG/LEAD, analytics | | Optimization | `references/optimization.md` | EXPLAIN plans, indexes, statistics, tuning | | Database Design | `references/database-design.md` | Normalization, keys, constraints, schemas | | Dialect Differences | `references/dialect-differences.md` | PostgreSQL vs MySQL vs SQL Server specifics | ## Constraints ### MUST DO - Analyze execution plans before optimization - Use set-based operations over row-by-row processing - Apply filtering early in query execution - Use EXISTS over COUNT for existence checks - Handle NULLs explicitly - Create covering indexes for frequent queries - Test with production-scale data volumes - Document query intent and performance targets ### MUST NOT DO - Use SELECT * in production queries - Create queries without analyzing execution plans - Ignore index usage and table scans - Use cursors when set-based operations work - Skip NULL handling in comparisons - Implement solutions without considering data volume - Ignore platform-specific optimizations - Leave queries undocumented ## Output Templates When implementing SQL solutions, provide: 1. Optimized query with inline comments 2. Required indexes with rationale 3. Execution plan analysis 4. Performance metrics (before/after) 5. Platform-specific notes if applicable ## Knowledge Reference CTEs, window functions, recursive queries, EXPLAIN/ANALYZE, covering indexes, query hints, partitioning, materialized views, OLAP patterns, star schema, slowly changing dimensions, isolation levels, deadlock prevention, temporal tables, JSONB operations ## Related Skills - **Backend Developer** - Optimize application-level database queries - **Data Engineer** - ETL patterns and data pipeline optimization - **DevOps Engineer** - Database monitoring and performance dashboards

jfrog
IncludedInteract 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
IncludedPre-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
IncludedInvoke 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
IncludedReduce 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.
resend-cli
IncludedUse this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
alibabacloud-odps-maxframe-coding
IncludedUse this skill for MaxFrame SDK development and documentation navigation on Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute (ODPS). Helps answer MaxFrame API, concept, official example, and supported pandas API questions; create data processing programs; read/write MaxCompute tables; debug jobs (remote or local); and build custom DPE runtime images. Trigger when users mention MaxFrame, MaxCompute with MaxFrame, ODPS table processing, DPE runtime, MaxFrame docs/examples, DataFrame/Tensor operations, or GPU runtime setup. Works for both English and Chinese queries about Alibaba Cloud data processing with MaxFrame.
