  • SKILL.md covers Imports, Prefer the Canonical SqlClient…, Open and Reuse a Connection and Add a String Method to an…, plus 5 more sections

What it does

Golem Add Postgres Effect is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Using PostgreSQL from an Effect-based Golem agent through @golemcloud/effect-golem/postgres. Use when connecting to PostgreSQL, running SQL, or adding PostgreSQL transactions to an Effect Golem application.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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 Databases, covering SQL. It works with PostgreSQL and SQL. The repository describes itself as: Golem Cloud is the agent-native platform for building AI agents and distributed applications that never lose state, never duplicate work, and never require you to build…

When your agent uses it

  • Connecting to PostgreSQL
  • Adding PostgreSQL transactions to an Effect Golem application

Example prompts

  • “/golem-add-postgres-effect”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2dea6b9. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript and yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Golem Add Postgres Effect loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 810 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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 810 words (~2,368 tokens).

“Use the Effect SDK's PostgreSQL adapter. It implements Effect's SQL client over the golem:rdbms/postgres@1.5.0 host interface, which works in Golem's WebAssembly runtime.”
