Maintaining packages/phoenix-sqlean, the vendored fork of nalgeon/sqlean.py published as arize-phoenix-sqlean.

What it does

Phoenix Sqlean is an agent skill from Arize-ai/phoenix. Maintaining packages/phoenix-sqlean, the vendored fork of nalgeon/sqlean.py published as arize-phoenix-sqlean. Use when bumping the bundled SQLite, sqlean, or xxHash versions, changing its wheel matrix, or touching its publish path. Trigger on any change under packages/phoenix-sqlean/, .github/workflows/phoenix-sqlean-.yml, or the sqlean jobs in .github/workflows/publish.yaml.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM observability. It works with Arize Phoenix, SQLite, GitHub Actions and Git. The repository describes itself as: AI Observability & Evaluation.

When your agent uses it

  • Bumping the bundled SQLite
  • XxHash versions
  • Changing its wheel matrix
  • Touching its publish path

Example prompts

  • “/phoenix-sqlean”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 52f76fc. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • make
    • git

    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):

    • github.com
    • sqlite.org

    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

Phoenix Sqlean loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 795 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 795 words (~1,713 tokens).
