neon

Overview of the Neon platform for apps and agents, spanning Postgres, Auth, the Data API, and the new services: Object Storage, Compute Functions, and AI Gateway. Use when "Neon" is mentioned, or when any of its individual capabilities are the trigger: "object storage" or "S3", "buckets", "serverless functions", "AI gateway", "call an LLM", "postgres", "database", or "backend".

neon-object-storageS3-compatible object storage that branches with your Neon project, so files and the database stay in sync across every branch. Use when a user wants object storage, a bucket, blob/file storage, or somewhere to put uploads, images, documents, avatars, or user-generated files for their app or agent — especially when they already use (or are setting up) Neon Postgres and don't want to add a separate storage provider like AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or Supabase Storage. Triggers include "object storage", "bucket", "blob storage", "file storage", "store uploads/images/files", "S3-compatible storage", "presigned URL", "where do I put files", "Neon Object Storage", "Neon Storage", and "storage that branches with my database".0 installsneon-postgresGuides and best practices for working with Neon Serverless Postgres. Covers setup, connection methods, branching, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, read replicas, connection pooling, Neon Auth, and the Neon CLI, MCP server, REST API, TypeScript SDK, and Python SDK. Use when users ask about "Neon setup", "connect to Neon", "Neon project", "DATABASE_URL", "serverless Postgres", "Neon CLI", "neon", "Neon MCP", "Neon Auth", "@neondatabase/serverless", "@neondatabase/neon-js", "scale to zero", "Neon autoscaling", "Neon read replica", or "Neon connection pooling".0 installsneon-functionsLong-running, serverless Node.js HTTP functions deployed onto your Neon branch, with DATABASE_URL injected automatically and compute that runs next to your data. Use when a user wants to host an API, an AI agent with long streaming responses, a WebSocket or server-sent-events (SSE) server, a webhook handler, a Discord bot, or any request/response workload that risks timing out on short, lambda-style serverless functions — and wants it to branch with their database. Triggers include "serverless function", "deploy an API", "long-running function", "streaming agent", "SSE server", "WebSocket server", "webhook handler", "run code next to my database", "function that won't time out", "Neon Functions", and "Neon Compute".0 installsneon-postgres-egress-optimizerDiagnose and fix excessive Postgres egress (network data transfer) in a codebase. Use when a user mentions high database bills, unexpected data transfer costs, network transfer charges, egress spikes, "why is my Neon bill so high", "database costs jumped", SELECT * optimization, query overfetching, reduce Neon costs, optimize database usage, or wants to reduce data sent from their database to their application. Also use when reviewing query patterns for cost efficiency, even if the user doesn't explicitly mention egress or data transfer.0 installsneon-postgres-branchesChoose and create the right Neon branch type for testing and development. Use when users ask about Neon branching, migration testing with real data, isolated test environments, schema-only branch workflows for sensitive data, or branch creation via Neon CLI or Neon MCP. Triggers include "Neon branch", "test migrations safely", "branch production data", "schema-only branch", "reset branch" and "sensitive data testing".0 installsclaimable-postgresProvision instant temporary Postgres databases via Claimable Postgres by Neon (neon.new) with no login, signup, or credit card. Supports REST API, CLI, and SDK. Use when users ask for a quick Postgres environment, a throwaway DATABASE_URL for prototyping/tests, or "just give me a DB now". Triggers include: "quick postgres", "temporary postgres", "no signup database", "no credit card database", "instant DATABASE_URL", "npx neon-new", "neon.new", "neon.new API", "claimable postgres API".0 installs

Frequently asked questions about neon

What does the neon skill do?

Overview of the Neon platform for apps and agents, spanning Postgres, Auth, the Data API, and the new services: Object Storage, Compute Functions, and AI Gateway. Use when "Neon" is mentioned, or when any of its individual capabilities are the trigger: "object storage" or "S3", "buckets", "serverless functions", "AI gateway", "call an LLM", "postgres", "database", or "backend". It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the neon skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install neon-neon` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/neon-neon/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does neon work with?

neon runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the neon skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use neon after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/neon-neon` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the neon skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
