Optimize Postgres with Supabase Practices
Postgres performance problems often come from missing indexes, weak RLS policies, and poor connection management. This skill gives Supabase-aligned rules for improving queries, schema design, and database operations.

Test it
Using "supabase-postgres-best-practices". A query filters orders by customer and status, then sorts by creation date.
Expected outcome:
The skill recommends a composite index that starts with equality filters and ends with the range or sort column. It also suggests checking the plan with EXPLAIN ANALYZE.
Using "supabase-postgres-best-practices". A Supabase app uses RLS policies that call authentication helpers directly.
Expected outcome:
The skill explains why repeated function calls can slow large scans and recommends cached policy expressions plus indexes on policy columns.
Using "supabase-postgres-best-practices". A table stores hundreds of millions of time-stamped events.
Expected outcome:
The skill recommends range partitioning by time, smaller local indexes, and retention through partition drops after validation.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Review Slow Queries
Identify likely missing indexes, bad pagination, and inefficient joins before changing production SQL.
Design Multi-Tenant Schemas
Apply RLS, foreign key indexes, and least privilege patterns for Supabase applications.
Prepare Database Scaling Work
Plan pooling, partitioning, and diagnostic checks before traffic growth or data migration.
Try These Prompts
Review this Postgres query for missing indexes, bad filters, and safer pagination. Explain the top improvements in priority order.
Review this table design for data types, primary keys, foreign key indexes, and partitioning opportunities. Include tradeoffs for each recommendation.
Analyze these Supabase RLS policies for security and performance. Look for per-row function calls, missing indexes, and least privilege gaps.
Create a prioritized Postgres audit plan for this workload. Cover query plans, pooling, transactions, maintenance, and monitoring checks.
Best Practices
- Validate each recommendation with EXPLAIN ANALYZE on representative data before shipping.
- Index foreign keys and policy columns when they appear in frequent joins or RLS predicates.
- Keep transactions short and use pooling settings that match the deployment model.
Avoid
- Adding many single-column indexes without matching real query patterns.
- Using OFFSET pagination for deep pages on large ordered tables.
- Relying on application filters instead of database-enforced tenant isolation.
