azure-database-postgresql
Expert knowledge for Azure Database for PostgreSQL development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when tuning flexible servers, configuring pgvector/AGE, setting replicas, securing with VNet/TLS, or planning migrations, and other Azure Database for PostgreSQL related development tasks. Not for Azure Database for MySQL (use azure-database-mysql), Azure Database for MariaDB (use azure-database-mariadb), Azure SQL Database (use azure-sql-database),
npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-database-postgresql --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
The skill provides expert guidance for Azure Database for PostgreSQL, including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture and design patterns, limits and quotas, security, configuration, integrations and coding patterns, and deployment. It emphasizes tasks like tuning flexible servers, configuring pgvector/AGE, setting replicas, securing with VNet/TLS, planning migrations, and other related development activities.
How it works
- It instructs using a Category Index to locate relevant sections.
- For categories with line ranges, the agent should read the file with the specified lines using
read_fileand refer to the given range. - For categories with file links, the agent should
read_fileon the linked reference file. - It requires network access and prefers using
mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetchwith the queryfrom=learn-agent-skillor falls back tofetch_webpagewithfrom=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdownto retrieve documentation content. - It includes a long Category Index spanning Troubleshooting, Best Practices, Decision Making, Architecture & Design Patterns, Limits & Quotas, Security, Configuration, Integrations & Coding Patterns, and Deployment, each pointing to specific sections or external URLs.
When to use it
Use when tasks involve Azure Database for PostgreSQL development, including tuning flexible servers, configuring pgvector/AGE, setting replicas, securing with VNet/TLS, planning migrations, or other PostgreSQL-related development work on Azure.
What it can touch
- Tools:
claude-code,copilot,codex(as declared). - Documentation access via
mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetchorfetch_webpageto retrieve official content.
Caveats
- License: CC-BY-4.0.
- Requires network access to fetch documentation.
- Content references external Microsoft Docs URLs for guidance; exact outcomes are not guaranteed by the skill itself.
# Azure Database for PostgreSQL Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Database for PostgreSQL. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities. ## How to Use This Skill > **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file > **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md) This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content: - **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`.

What does the azure-database-postgresql skill do?
Expert knowledge for Azure Database for PostgreSQL development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when tuning flexible servers, configuring pgvector/AGE, setting replicas, securing with VNet/TLS, or planning migrations, and other Azure Database for PostgreSQL related development tasks. Not for Azure Database for MySQL (use azure-database-mysql), Azure Database for MariaDB (use azure-database-mariadb), Azure SQL Database (use azure-sql-database),
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-database-postgresql --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, a repository with 682 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
