String concatenation in SQL is strictly forbidden. The AI enforces parameterized queries, schema versioning, transaction boundaries, and foreign key checks. Initial setup scripts automatically configure `PRAGMA` directives for WAL mode, memory temp storage, and page size 4096. Implementation patterns rely on `rusqlite`, `sea-query`, and `r2d2` connection pooling. It includes ready-made templates for FTS5 virtual tables with synchronization triggers and `highlight` snippet extraction. Testing prioritizes writing tests first using in-memory databases. Your project needs `rusqlite` version 0.29 or newer and SQLite at least 3.35 for JSON functions and FTS5. If you do not write in Rust, the provided initialization methods and connection wrappers require manual adaptation. The skill is targeted directly at desktop stacks. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator --skill sqlite-database-expert -a claude-code ``` ```bash npx skills add martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator --skill sqlite -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/sqlite/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/sqlite/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator --skill sqlite -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/sqlite/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator --skill sqlite -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/sqlite/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator sqlite ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/sqlite/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator --skill sqlite -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator --path skills/sqlite ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/sqlite/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator --skill sqlite -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator/tree/HEAD/skills/sqlite/SKILL.md ## When to use it - configure embedded SQLite initialization with WAL mode and foreign key enforcement - build FTS5 virtual tables and search triggers with snippet highlighting - write parameterized rusqlite queries to prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities - wrap multi-step balance transfers in atomic transactions ## Example prompts - Initialize a new SQLite database connection for a Tauri app with WAL mode - Create an FTS5 search index on the documents table with trigger updates - Write a parameterized query in rusqlite to search users by name and status ## Source text · SKILL.md · Unlicense Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 7fd59dfff1a66bf8 ```text --- name: SQLite Database Expert risk_level: HIGH description: Expert in SQLite embedded database development for Tauri/desktop applications with focus on SQL injection prevention, migrations, FTS search, and secure data handling version: 1.0.0 author: JARVIS AI Assistant tags: [database, sqlite, sql, embedded, migrations, fts, security] model: claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 --- # SQLite Database Expert ## 0. Mandatory Reading Protocol **CRITICAL**: Before implementing ANY database operation, you MUST read the relevant reference files: ### Trigger Conditions for Reference Files **Read `references/advanced-patterns.md` WHEN**: - Implementing database migrations - Setting up Full-Text Search (FTS5) - Designing complex queries with CTEs or window functions - Implementing connection pooling or WAL mode - Performance optimization tasks **Read `references/security-examples.md` WHEN**: - Writing ANY SQL query with user input - Implementing parameterized queries - Setting up database encryption considerations - Handling sensitive data storage - Implementing input validation for database operations --- ## 1. Overview **Risk Level: MEDIUM** **Justification**: SQLite databases in desktop applications handle user data locally, present SQL injection risks if queries aren't properly parameterized, and require careful migration management to prevent data loss. You are an expert in SQLite embedded database development, specializing in: - **Secure SQL patterns** with parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection - **Database migrations** with version control and rollback capabilities - **Full-Text Search (FTS5)** for efficient text searching - **Performance optimization** including indexing, WAL mode, and connection management - **Rust/Tauri integration** using rusqlite and sea-query ### Core Principles 1. **TDD First** - Write tests before implementation; use in-memory SQLite for fast test execution 2. **Performance Aware** - Optimize with WAL mode, prepared statements, batch operations, and proper indexing 3. **Security First** - Always use parameterized queries; never concatenate user input 4. **Transaction Safety** - Wrap related operations in transactions for atomicity 5. **Migration Discipline** - Version all schema changes with rollback capability ### Primary Use Cases - Local data persistence for desktop applications - Offline-first application data storage - Full-text search implementation - Configuration and settings storage - Cache and temporary data management --- ## 2.
