DB — Universal Database Access
Connect to any database — Cloud SQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Databricks, Athena, Presto, or Oracle. Reads connection config from the project instruction file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, or equivalent) or ~/.claude/db-connections.json (global registry).
Scope:
/dbexecutes specific SQL or migrations against named connections. For analytics in plain English, use/query.
Supported engines
cloud-sql | postgres | snowflake | databricks | athena | presto | oracle
Usage
/db— default audit query for current project DB/db "SELECT count(*) FROM users"— arbitrary SQL on current project DB/db migrate— run pending migrations/db prod-snowflake— named connection from global registry/db prod-snowflake "SELECT ..."— named connection + custom SQL
Step 0 — Parse arguments
# If first arg looks like a connection name (no spaces, no SQL keywords), treat as named connection
ARGS="${1:-}"
if echo "$ARGS" | grep -qE '^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$' && ! echo "$ARGS" | grep -qiE '^(SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE|CREATE|DROP|ALTER|SHOW|DESCRIBE|migrate)'; then
NAMED_CONNECTION=$(echo "$ARGS" | awk '{print $1}')
SQL=$(echo "$ARGS" | cut -s -d' ' -f2-)
else
NAMED_CONNECTION=""
SQL="$ARGS"

Step 1 — Load connection config
# Detect project instruction file
INSTRUCTION_FILE=$(ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null); for f in CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md .cursorrules .windsurfrules .github/copilot-instructions.md GEMINI.md; do [ -f "$ROOT/$f" ] && echo "$ROOT/$f" && break; done)
DB_CONNECTIONS="$HOME/.claude/db-connections.json"
if [ -n "$NAMED_CONNECTION" ]; then
# Use named connection from global registry

CONFIG_SOURCE="registry:$NAMED_CONNECTION"
elif [ -n "$INSTRUCTION_FILE" ] && grep -q "^engine:" "$INSTRUCTION_FILE" 2>/dev/null; then

exit 1
fi

Step 2 — Load connection details from registry (if using named connection)
if [ -n "$NAMED_CONNECTION" ]; then
# Extract all fields from the named connection into shell variables
eval "$(python3 -c "
import json, shlex
d = json.load(open('$HOME/.claude/db-connections.json'))

for k, v in cfg.items():
if k != 'engine':
print(f'CONN_{k.upper()}={shlex.quote(str(v))}')
" 2>/dev/null)"

Step 3 — Resolve credentials
# Determine auth method
AUTH="${CONN_AUTH:-$(grep '^auth:' "$INSTRUCTION_FILE" 2>/dev/null | head -1 | cut -d: -f2- | tr -d ' ')}"
case "$AUTH" in

Step 4 — Set default SQL if not provided

Step 5 — Delegate to engine file

# Pass all resolved variables to the engine skill
# The engine file will use these pre-resolved values:
# - For cloud-sql: INSTANCE=$CONN_INSTANCE, GCP_PROJECT=$CONN_GCP_PROJECT, DB_NAME=$CONN_DB_NAME, DB_USER=$CONN_DB_USER, DB_PASS=$DB_CRED
# - For postgres: DB_HOST=$CONN_HOST, DB_PORT=$CONN_PORT, DB_NAME=$CONN_DATABASE, DB_USER=$CONN_USER, DB_PASS=$DB_CRED
# - For snowflake: SF_ACCOUNT=$CONN_ACCOUNT, SF_WAREHOUSE=$CONN_WAREHOUSE, SF_DATABASE=$CONN_DATABASE, SF_ROLE=$CONN_ROLE, SF_USER=$CONN_USER, SF_TOKEN=$DB_CRED, SF_AUTH=$AUTH
# - For databricks: DBX_HOST=$CONN_HOST, DBX_HTTP_PATH=$CONN_HTTP_PATH, DBX_TOKEN=$DB_CRED, DBX_CATALOG=$CONN_CATALOG, DBX_SCHEMA=$CONN_SCHEMA
# - For athena: ATHENA_REGION=$CONN_REGION, ATHENA_DATABASE=$CONN_DATABASE, ATHENA_WORKGROUP=$CONN_WORKGROUP, ATHENA_S3_OUTPUT=$CONN_S3_OUTPUT
# - For presto: PRESTO_HOST=$CONN_HOST, PRESTO_PORT=$CONN_PORT, PRESTO_USER=$CONN_USER, PRESTO_CATALOG=$CONN_CATALOG, PRESTO_SCHEMA=$CONN_SCHEMA, PRESTO_TOKEN=$DB_CRED, PRESTO_ENGINE=$CONN_ENGINE
# - For oracle: ORA_HOST=$CONN_HOST, ORA_PORT=$CONN_PORT, ORA_SERVICE=$CONN_SERVICE, ORA_USER=$CONN_USER, ORA_PASS=$DB_CRED
# SQL=$SQL is passed to all engines
# Follow the instructions in db-engines/${ENGINE}.md using the variable mappings above
