neon-postgres
The neon-postgres skill provides guidance and best practices for Neon Serverless Postgres, including setup, connection methods, branching, autoscaling, and infrastructure-as-code configuration via neon.ts.
Is neon-postgres safe to install?
Review the source first: our audit of neon-postgres's source files found 10 shell commands, 21 external URLs, file reads and writes (high risk). Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill executes shell commands for CLI interaction and package installation, and it reads/writes local files such as .env and neon.ts.

Frequently asked questions
How do I initialize a new Neon project for my agent?
Run 'npx -y neon@latest init --agent <agent-name>' in your terminal to install the necessary extensions or MCP servers.
Which driver should I use for my serverless function?
Use 'node-postgres' for long-running or shared-runtime environments like Vercel, and '@neondatabase/serverless' for fully isolated serverless environments like Netlify.
How do I manage infrastructure settings like autoscaling?
Create a 'neon.ts' file in your project to define branch configurations and compute settings, then apply them using 'neon deploy'.
