Pg Aiguide

pg-aiguide

AI-optimized PostgreSQL expertise for coding assistants

pg-aiguide helps AI coding tools write dramatically better PostgreSQL code. It provides:

- Semantic search across the official PostgreSQL manual (version-aware)
- AI-optimized “skills” — curated, opinionated Postgres best practices used automatically by AI agents
- Extension ecosystem docs, starting with TimescaleDB, with more coming soon

Use it as:

- Agent Skills via npx skills — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and 40+ other agents
- a public MCP server that can be used with any AI coding agent, or
- a Claude Code plugin optimized for use with Claude's native skill support.

⭐ Why pg-aiguide?

AI coding tools often generate Postgres code that is:

- outdated
- missing constraints and indexes
- unaware of modern PG features
- inconsistent with real-world best practices

pg-aiguide fixes that by giving AI agents deep, versioned PostgreSQL knowledge and proven patterns.

Video Transcript

Prompt given to Claude Code:
Please describe the schema you would create for an e-commerce website two times, first with the tiger mcp server disabled, then with the tiger mcp server enabled. For each time, write the schema to its own file in the current working directory. Then compare the two files and let me know which approach generated the better schema, using both qualitative and quantitative reasons. For this example, only use standard Postgres.

Result (summarized):

- 4× more constraints
- 55% more indexes (including partial/expression indexes)
- PG17-recommended patterns
- Modern features (GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, NULLS NOT DISTINCT)
- Cleaner naming & documentation

Conclusion:…
