Browse all →infra-clickhouseSets up and manages ClickHouse using the clickhousectl CLI — installs and runs a local ClickHouse server for development, and creates managed ClickHouse Cloud services for production (authentication, service creation, schema migration, application connection). Use when the user wants to build an application with ClickHouse, set up a local ClickHouse dev environment, create tables and start querying, deploy ClickHouse to production or ClickHouse Cloud, or migrate from a local setup to the cloud.0 installsclickhouse-js-node-rowbinaryGenerate TypeScript/JavaScript code that reads/decodes AND writes/encodes ClickHouse RowBinary streams for the ClickHouse HTTP server. Use this skill whenever a user wants to parse or produce `RowBinary`, `RowBinaryWithNames`, or `RowBinaryWithNamesAndTypes`. Node.js only, doesn't cover browsers.0 installsclickhouse-js-node-codingWrite idiomatic application code with the ClickHouse Node.js client (`@clickhouse/client`). Use this skill whenever a user is *building* against the Node.js client — configuring the client, pinging, inserting rows in JSON or raw formats, selecting and parsing results, binding query parameters, managing sessions and temporary tables, working with data types or customizing JSON parsing. Do NOT use for browser/Web client code.0 installsclickstack-otel-collectorUse when a user wants to wire an OpenTelemetry collector into a Managed ClickStack service on ClickHouse Cloud, either by deploying a new local collector (Docker run or Docker Compose) or by configuring their own existing collector, then send rich synthetic telemetry and verify it is visible in ClickStack.0 installsclickhouse-js-node-troubleshootingTroubleshoot and resolve common issues with the ClickHouse Node.js client (@clickhouse/client). Use this skill whenever a user reports errors, unexpected behavior, or configuration questions involving the Node.js client specifically — including socket hang-up errors, Keep-Alive problems, stream handling issues, data type mismatches, read-only user restrictions, proxy/TLS setup problems, or long-running query timeouts. Trigger even when the user hasn't precisely named the issue; vague symptoms like "my inserts keep failing" or "connection drops randomly" in a Node.js context are strong signals to use this skill. Do NOT use for browser/Web client issues.0 installschdb-sqlUse when the user wants to run SQL — especially analytical SQL — on local files (parquet/csv/json), URLs, S3 paths, or remote databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse Cloud, Iceberg, Delta Lake) without setting up a server. Provides chDB — embedded ClickHouse SQL in Python with 1000+ functions, Session for stateful multi-step pipelines, parametrized queries, and cross-source joins via `s3()`, `mysql()`, `postgresql()`, `iceberg()`, `deltaLake()`, `remoteSecure()` table functions. TRIGGER when: user wants SQL on parquet/csv/files or across remote analytical sources; uses ClickHouse SQL features (window functions, windowFunnel, geoToH3, JSON path ops, Session, parametrized queries); imports `chdb` or calls `chdb.query()`. SKIP this skill for pandas-style DataFrame method-chaining (use chdb-datastore instead) or ClickHouse server administration.0 installs

View source →chdb-datastoreUse when the user has tabular data (pandas DataFrame, parquet, csv, Arrow, json) and wants to filter, group, aggregate, join, or speed up slow pandas. Provides chDB DataStore — same pandas API, ClickHouse engine underneath. Also handles reading from S3, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse Cloud, Iceberg, Delta Lake as DataFrames and joining across sources. TRIGGER when: user mentions DataFrame, parquet, csv, "fast pandas", "speed up pandas", or cross-source DataFrame joins; user imports `chdb.datastore` or `from datastore import DataStore`. SKIP this skill for raw SQL syntax (use chdb-sql instead), ClickHouse server administration, or non-Python DataStore API work.1 installsclickhouse-managed-postgres-rcaMUST USE when investigating performance issues on a ClickHouse-managed Postgres instance. Provides an evidence-based RCA workflow that scrapes the Prometheus endpoint for system signal, pulls per-digest evidence from the Slow Query Patterns API, and recommends (does not apply) a fix.1 installsclickhouse-architecture-advisorMUST USE when designing ClickHouse architectures, selecting between ingestion or modeling patterns, or translating best practices into workload-specific system designs. Complements clickhouse-best-practices with decision frameworks and explicit provenance labels.0 installsclickhousectl-local-devUse when a user wants to build an application with ClickHouse, set up a local ClickHouse development environment, install ClickHouse, create a local server, create tables, or start developing with ClickHouse. Covers the full flow from zero to a working local ClickHouse setup.0 installsclickhousectl-cloud-deployUse when a user wants to deploy ClickHouse to the cloud, go to production, use ClickHouse Cloud, host a managed ClickHouse service, or migrate from a local ClickHouse setup to ClickHouse Cloud.0 installsinfra-postgresSets up and manages Postgres using the clickhousectl CLI — runs a local Docker-backed Postgres for development, and creates and operates managed ClickHouse Cloud Postgres services (connections, TLS, runtime config, read replicas, failover, point-in-time restore). Use when the user wants a Postgres or PostgreSQL database for their application, a local Postgres dev environment, psql access, or a managed/production Postgres in ClickHouse Cloud, or mentions moving a local Postgres to production.0 installs

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 (pg_cron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pg_restore) 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.
