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.

How to install Database Driver Design

git clone https://github.com/wendylabsinc/claude-skills
cd claude-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r database-driver-design ~/.claude/skills/database-driver-design

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Database Driver Design

  • /database-driver-design Swift DB driver patterns: wire protocol, NIO pooling, backpressure, state machines.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • I'm building a Swift database driver, how should I design the wire protocol
  • Help me design connection pooling and backpressure for a Swift DB client
  • What's the right actor pattern for a NIO-based database driver in Swift

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.
