What it does
DB Connection is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Use when setting up database connections, especially for Neon PostgreSQL. Triggers for: Neon Postgres connection, connection pooling configuration, connection string management, SSL configuration, or SQLAlchemy engine setup. NOT for: CRUD operations (use @sqlmodel-crud) or migration scripts (use @db-migration).
Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/verify.py` and `skill-report.json`).
It sits in Databases, covering Database migrations, Database administration and ORMs and data access. It works with PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy and Neon. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up database connections
- Especially for Neon PostgreSQL
- : Neon Postgres connection
- Connection pooling configuration
Example prompts
- “/db-connection”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Go to Neon Dashboard
- Select your project
- Go to Connection Details
- Copy the connection string
- Add to Vercel/Dashboard environment variables
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
psql
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
console.neon.tech
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
DB Connection loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:52
env_file=".env",
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 248 words (~3,471 tokens).
“Expert database connection management for Python/FastAPI with Neon PostgreSQL, connection pooling, and SSL configuration.”
