Database Skills for Codex — FAQ
How do database skills work inside Codex?
Database skills handle schema changes, migration generation, query optimization, and ORM-specific scaffolding. They plug into the most common stacks (Prisma, Drizzle, SQLAlchemy, Rails) so your agent can reason about data as naturally as code. When installed via BuySkills, the skill is written into the directory Codex reads from, and Codex's agent invokes it on demand as part of its normal loop.
Are the database skills for Codex free?
BuySkills hosts both free and paid database skills. Each listing shows the price (or "free") before install, so you can pick the right fit for your budget and workflow.
Do database skills run migrations against my real DB?
Migrations default to local/dev targets only. Applying to staging or production requires an explicit environment flag, so the agent can't accidentally touch shared data.
Can I use the same database skill with other agents?
Yes. One of BuySkills' core promises is cross-agent portability — install a database skill once and it works with Codex and every other supported agent (17+ total) without re-purchasing.
