Asked it to design an injection-safe typed command for a Redis-style SET; instead of a generic struct-and-string-concat baseline it produced the DatabaseCommand protocol plus ExpressibleByStringInterpolation pattern lifted straight from postgres-nio/valkey-swift practice.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Database Driver Design does
A dense reference card for building Swift database client libraries: command-as-type APIs, injection-safe query interpolation via ExpressibleByStringInterpolation, NIO-executor-aligned actors, hierarchical connection state machines, and adaptive backpressure streaming, modeled explicitly on valkey-swift and postgres-nio. Triggers when a developer mentions building a database driver, wire protocol implementation, connection pooling design, NIO channel handlers, or backpressure in a Swift context. All content is inline code patterns embedded directly in SKILL.md rather than pulled from external scripts or reference files.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Database Driver Design skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from wendylabsinc/claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Database Driver Design work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Asked it to design an injection-safe typed command for a Redis-style SET; instead of a generic struct-and-string-concat baseline it produced the DatabaseCommand protocol plus ExpressibleByStringInterpolation pattern lifted straight from postgres-nio/valkey-swift practice.
- What is the Database Driver Design SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Database Driver Design?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Database Driver Design with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
