What it does

SQL is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Run SQL queries against the WordPress development database. Use when querying database tables, inspecting Simple History events, checking WordPress data, or debugging database issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Databases, covering SQL. It works with SQL and WordPress. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Querying database tables
  • Inspecting Simple History events
  • Checking WordPress data
  • Debugging database issues

Example prompts

  • “/sql”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read credentials from CLAUDE.local.md
  2. Ask the user what SQL query they want to run (if not specified)
  3. Run the query using the command pattern above
  4. Display the results
  5. Offer to run follow-up queries if needed

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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:

    • docker

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

SQL loads about 573 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 183 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~573

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 183 words (~573 tokens).

“You are tasked with running SQL queries against the WordPress development database.”
