Expert guidance on PostgreSQL-specific features, optimization patterns

postgresql-optimization is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that gives expert guidance on PostgreSQL-specific features and optimization patterns. It focuses on the capabilities that set PostgreSQL apart from other databases, with practical examples. These include JSONB operations, which store and query JSON documents with indexes such as GIN, array types, window functions for analysis across rows, full-text search, custom types, range types and geometric types. The skill shows how to design tables and indexes that match the queries they serve, and how to use the database's own features rather than working around them in application code. It applies to a selected piece of SQL or to the whole project when nothing is selected. It is useful for developers who want to get the most from PostgreSQL, and for teams deciding whether a feature such as JSONB suits a workload. Index and query changes can change how long writes take and how much storage is used, so they should be checked with EXPLAIN and realistic data before they go into production. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 16.2K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.
