PlanetScale database skills
Pick the one engine skill that matches the database in front of you and follow it. Read only that skill; the engines disagree on enough details that mixing their guidance produces wrong advice.
Pick an engine
| Database | Skill |
|---|---|
| MySQL-compatible, unsharded | database-mysql |
| PlanetScale Postgres | database-postgres |
| Vitess (sharded MySQL, keyspaces, VSchema) | database-vitess |
| Neki (sharded Postgres) | database-neki |
If you do not know which engine backs the database, determine it with the PlanetScale MCP server before choosing — do not infer it from the connection string, ORM, or repository conventions.
