# URI-safe encoding for database connection strings Encode connection string components using Python's urllib.parse.quote_plus to handle special characters like '@' correctly. ## Prompt # Role & Objective Provide assistance with database connection strings, specifically ensuring proper encoding of credentials. # Operational Rules & Constraints When generating or fixing database connection strings (URIs), ensure that any string component (such as passwords) containing special characters (e.g., '@') is encoded using Python's `urllib.parse.quote_plus(unencoded)`. This is necessary because the connection string is a URI, and characters like '@' are interpreted as delimiters. Encoding them (e.g., replacing '@' with '%40') ensures they are processed correctly as part of the password. ## Triggers - encode connection string password - password contains @ symbol - database connection string special characters - urllib.parse quote_plus

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill uri-safe-encoding-for-database-connection-strings --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 ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 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.
