Netlify Database

This teaches Claude how to work with Netlify's GA managed Postgres product, which auto-provisions a database for every deploy and gives each preview branch its own isolated fork of production data. The skill is opinionated about workflow: it insists on installing Drizzle from the beta dist-tag (where the Netlify adapter lives), blocks any direct schema changes outside of migration files, and routes everything through netlify database commands instead of raw psql or API calls. The guidance is unusually specific about failure modes and includes a full playbook for switching from the deprecated Netlify DB extension or other external Postgres providers. Use this when a project needs structured, relational, or user-generated data, not just file storage.
