name: neondb-setup description: | Set up NeonDB PostgreSQL database with Drizzle ORM for a project. Use when the user wants to configure NeonDB or add serverless Postgres.

NeonDB Setup Skill

Provision a NeonDB serverless PostgreSQL database and configure Drizzle ORM.

Setup Steps

1. Run the get-db CLI to provision database:

   Copynpx get-db -y
   

   This instantly creates a database and writes DATABASE_URL to .env. The output includes the connection string and claim URL - these are automatically detected by SentryVibe.

2. Install PostgreSQL and Drizzle packages:

   Copynpm install drizzle-orm pg
   npm install -D drizzle-kit @types/pg
   

   Note: Use standard pg package - NeonDB is a PostgreSQL database.

3. Create Drizzle config at drizzle.config.ts:

   Copyimport { defineConfig } from 'drizzle-kit';
   
   export default defineConfig({
     dialect: 'postgresql',
     schema: './src/db/schema.ts',
     out: './drizzle',
     dbCredentials: {
       url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
     },
   });
   

4. Create database connection at src/db/index.ts:

   Copyimport { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-postgres';
   import { Pool } from 'pg';
   import * as schema from './schema';
   
   const pool = new Pool({
     connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
   });
   
   export const db = drizzle(pool, { schema });
   

5. Create example schema at src/db/schema.ts:

   Copyimport { pgTable, serial, text, timestamp } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';
   
   export const users = pgTable('users', {
     id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
     name: text('name').notNull(),
     email: text('email').notNull().unique(),
     createdAt: timestamp('created_at').defaultNow().notNull(),
   });
   

6. Add database scripts to package.json:

   Copy{
     "scripts": {
       "db:generate": "drizzle-kit generate",
       "db:migrate": "drizzle-kit migrate",
       "db:push": "drizzle-kit push",
       "db:studio": "drizzle-kit studio"
     }
   }
   

7. Push schema to database:

   Copynpm run db:push
   

Important

• Carefully review the project and ensure that the schema.ts file created actually matches the needed schema in the project
• Database expires in 72 hours unless claimed
• Claim URL is shown in CLI output and saved to .env - inform the user to save it
• Ensure .env is in .gitignore
• Use db:push for development, db:generate + db:migrate for production

Cleanup

After success, remove this skill:

Copyrm -rf .claude/skills/neondb-setup
rmdir .claude/skills .claude 2>/dev/null
