What it does
Postgres is an agent skill from olasunkanmi-SE/codebuddy. Manage PostgreSQL databases via the psql CLI.
Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `install.sh`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. It works with PostgreSQL. The repository describes itself as: An Autonomous AI Software Engineer. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- AI & LLM Engineering work in your project
Example prompts
- “/postgres”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a9b8cd0. 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 script files (Shell), 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
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
Postgres loads about 207 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 43 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 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

When should I use Postgres?
Postgres fits situations like: AI & LLM Engineering work in your project.
How do I install Postgres in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add olasunkanmi-SE/codebuddy --skill postgres -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/postgres in olasunkanmi-SE/codebuddy) into .claude/skills/postgres in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Postgres in Codex?
Run `npx skills add olasunkanmi-SE/codebuddy --skill postgres -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/postgres in olasunkanmi-SE/codebuddy) into .agents/skills/postgres in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Postgres in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add olasunkanmi-SE/codebuddy --skill postgres -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/postgres, .gemini/skills/postgres, .github/skills/postgres and .opencode/skills/postgres in your project.
What does Postgres need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Postgres needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (psql). Our summary lists: A Bash shell.
Does Postgres access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Postgres safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Postgres use?
Postgres is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Postgres use?
About 207 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 828 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Postgres?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Postgres: Pgvector Semantic Search (timescale/pg-aiguide, 1.9k stars), Pixeltable (pixeltable/pixeltable, 1.6k stars), Postgres Hybrid Text Search (timescale/pg-aiguide, 1.9k stars) and Searching Documents (GAIK-project/gaik-toolkit, 100 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Postgres?
