The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
PostgreSQL Setup
Configure Prisma with PostgreSQL.
Prerequisites
- PostgreSQL database (local or cloud)
- Connection string
1. Schema Configuration
In prisma/schema.prisma:
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
}
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client"
output = "../generated"
}
2. Config Configuration (v7)
In prisma.config.ts:
import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'
export default defineConfig({
schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
datasource: {
url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
},
})
3. Environment Variable
In .env:
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb?schema=public"
Connection String Format
postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE?schema=SCHEMA
- USER: Database user
- PASSWORD: Password (URL encoded if special chars)
- HOST: Hostname (localhost, IP, or domain)
- PORT: Port (default 5432)
- DATABASE: Database name
- SCHEMA: Schema name (default
public)
Driver Adapter (Prisma ORM 7 required)
Prisma ORM 7 uses the query compiler by default, so you must use a driver adapter.
-
Install adapter and driver:
npm install @prisma/adapter-pg pg -
Instantiate Prisma Client with the adapter:
import 'dotenv/config' import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client' import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg' const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL }) const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
Common Issues
"Can't reach database server"
- Check host and port
- Check firewall settings
- Ensure database is running
"Authentication failed"
- Check user/password
- Special characters in password must be URL-encoded
"Schema does not exist"
- Ensure
?schema=public(or your schema) is in the URL

Popular data & databases skills
supabase-postgres-best-practices
supabase/agent-skills
Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pgcron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pgrestore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
