AGENTS.md1 starsChanged 6 months agoMITView on GitHub

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for Postgres, maintained by Supabase. Contains rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated query optimization and schema design. When used from Build Lynx Apps, this skill owns database/backend/service-layer guidance only. Keep UI composition in lynx-app-builder, official/global ReactLynx guidance, and lynx-ui-guidance. Never put service-role keys, database passwords, privileged SQL, or admin operations in a Lynx bundle; client-safe anon-key usage requires RLS proof and host/network assumptions. Reference these guidelines when: - Writing SQL queries or…

  • Where files are headingNew AGENTS.md files have more rules about keeping secrets out of the code, and fewer about code style.

    Of the AGENTS.md files we read, the 31,439 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.

  • In this repository4 other files it gives its agents.

The file

We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Read SKILL.md for the main skill instructions

    line 14
  2. Distinctive:

    Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and SQL examples:

    line 49

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 40,246 AGENTS.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Build Lynx Apps boundary

When used from Build Lynx Apps, this skill owns database/backend/service-layer guidance only. Keep UI composition in lynx-app-builder, official/global ReactLynx guidance, and lynx-ui-guidance. Never put service-role keys, database passwords, privileged SQL, or admin operations in a Lynx bundle; client-safe anon-key usage requires RLS proof and host/network assumptions.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Writing SQL queries or designing schemas
  • Implementing indexes or query optimization
  • Reviewing database performance issues
  • Configuring connection pooling or scaling
  • Optimizing for Postgres-specific features
  • Working with Row-Level Security (RLS)

How to Use

Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and SQL examples:

references/query-missing-indexes.md
references/schema-partial-indexes.md
references/_sections.md

Each rule file contains:

  • Brief explanation of why it matters
  • Incorrect SQL example with explanation
  • Correct SQL example with explanation
  • Optional EXPLAIN output or metrics
  • Additional context and references
  • Supabase-specific notes (when applicable)

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
