Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/neondatabase/ai-rules --skill neon-toolkit- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads neon-toolkit automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Neon Toolkit Skill
Automates creation, management, and cleanup of temporary Neon databases using the Neon Toolkit.
When to Use
- Creating fresh databases for each test run
- Spinning up databases in CI/CD pipelines
- Building isolated development environments
- Rapid prototyping without manual setup
Not recommended for: Production databases, shared team environments, local-only development (use Docker), or free tier accounts (requires paid projects).
Code Generation Rules
When generating TypeScript/JavaScript code:
- BEFORE generating import statements, check tsconfig.json for path aliases (compilerOptions.paths)
- If path aliases exist (e.g., "@/": ["./src/"]), use them (e.g., import { x } from '@/lib/utils')
- If NO path aliases exist or unsure, ALWAYS use relative imports (e.g., import { x } from '../../../lib/utils')
- Verify imports match the project's configuration
- Default to relative imports - they always work regardless of configuration

Basic Usage
import { NeonToolkit } from '@neondatabase/toolkit';
const neon = new NeonToolkit({ apiKey: process.env.NEON_API_KEY! });
// Create ephemeral database
const db = await neon.createEphemeralDatabase();
console.log(`Database URL: ${db.url}`);
// Use the database...
// Cleanup
await db.delete();

USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.
