Query Optimization & Performance Analysis
I'll analyze your database queries for performance issues, detect N+1 problems, recommend indexes, and provide query plan analysis.
Supported Databases:
- PostgreSQL (EXPLAIN ANALYZE)
- MySQL/MariaDB (EXPLAIN)
- MongoDB (explain())
- SQLite (EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN)
Supported ORMs:
- Prisma, TypeORM, Sequelize (JavaScript/TypeScript)
- Django ORM, SQLAlchemy (Python)
- Mongoose (MongoDB)
Token Optimization
This skill uses database performance-specific patterns to minimize token usage:
1. Database Stack Detection Caching (700 token savings)
Pattern: Cache database and ORM configuration
- Store detection in
.query-optimization-cache(1 hour TTL) - Cache: database type, ORM, connection config, query log location
- Read cached stack on subsequent runs (50 tokens vs 750 tokens fresh)
- Invalidate on schema changes or config updates
- Savings: 93% on repeat runs
2. Grep-Based N+1 Detection (1,500 token savings)
Pattern: Find N+1 patterns with Grep instead of full code analysis
- Grep for loop patterns:
for.*await.*find,forEach.*query(400 tokens) - Detect ORM patterns:
.findMany()inside loops - Don't read full files until N+1 confirmed
- Savings: 80% vs reading all query files for analysis
3. Slow Query Log Analysis (90% savings)
Pattern: Analyze database slow query logs directly
- Read last 50 slow queries from DB log (300 tokens via Bash)
- Skip code analysis if slow query log available
- Most optimization insights from actual slow queries
- Distribution: ~70% of runs have slow query logs available
- Savings: 300 vs 3,000 tokens for code-based query discovery
4. Sample-Based Query Pattern Analysis (1,200 token savings)
Pattern: Analyze first 10 slow queries, identify patterns
- Extract first 10 unique slow query patterns (600 tokens)
- Group by query structure (SELECT/JOIN patterns)
- Extrapolate optimizations to similar queries
- Full analysis only if explicitly requested
- Savings: 70% vs analyzing every unique query
5. Bash-Based EXPLAIN Plan Execution (1,000 token savings)
Pattern: Run EXPLAIN directly via database CLI
- PostgreSQL:
psql -c "EXPLAIN ANALYZE ..."(400 tokens) - MySQL:
mysql -e "EXPLAIN ..."(400 tokens) - Parse output with grep/awk
- No Task agents for query plan interpretation
- Savings: 75% vs Task-based plan analysis
6. Template-Based Index Recommendations (800 token savings)
Pattern: Use predefined index recommendation templates
- Standard patterns: WHERE clause → index, JOIN column → index
- Common recommendations: composite indexes, covering indexes
- No creative optimization generation
- Savings: 80% vs LLM-generated recommendations
7. Progressive Analysis Depth (1,000 token savings)
Pattern: Three-tier analysis based on issue severity
- Level 1: N+1 queries only - 1,200 tokens
- Level 2: Missing indexes - 2,000 tokens
- Level 3: Full query plan analysis - 3,500 tokens
- Default: Level 1 (N+1 are 90% of issues)
- Savings: 66% on default analysis level
8. Cached Query Plan Results (500 token savings)
Pattern: Store recent EXPLAIN results
- Cache query plans in
.claude/query-optimization/plans/(10 min TTL) - Re-use plans for identical queries
- Only re-run EXPLAIN if query changed
- Savings: 85% on repeated query checks
Real-World Token Usage Distribution
Typical operation patterns:
- Check slow queries (log available): 300 tokens
- N+1 detection (Grep-based): 1,200 tokens
- Index recommendations: 1,500 tokens
- Full query plan analysis: 2,500 tokens
- First-time analysis: 3,000 tokens
- Most common: Slow query log analysis with cached detection
Expected per-analysis: 1,500-2,500 tokens (60% reduction from 4,000-6,000 baseline) Real-world average: 900 tokens (due to slow query logs, N+1 focus, cached plans)

# Query Optimization Report

**Database:** $DB_TYPE
**ORM:** $ORM_TYPE
**Project:** $(basename $(pwd))
---
## Analysis Summary
### N+1 Queries
- Instances found: $N_PLUS_ONE_FOUND
- Impact: HIGH - Can cause exponential query growth
- Fix: Use eager loading (include, select_related, prefetch_related)
### Missing Indexes
- Potential issues: $MISSING_INDEXES
- Impact: MEDIUM-HIGH - Causes full table scans
- Fix: Add indexes to frequently queried columns
---
## Critical Optimizations
### 1. Fix N+1 Queries (Priority: CRITICAL)
**Problem:** Loading related data in loops causes N+1 queries.
**Examples:**
#### Prisma
\`\`\`typescript
// ❌ BAD: N+1 query
const users = await prisma.user.findMany();
for (const user of users) {
const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({ where: { userId: user.id } });
}
// ✅ GOOD: Single query with include
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
include: { posts: true }
});
\`\`\`
#### Django ORM
\`\`\`python
# ❌ BAD: N+1 query
users = User.objects.all()
for user in users:
posts = user.post_set.all() # Separate query per user
# ✅ GOOD: Use prefetch_related
users = User.objects.all().prefetch_related('post_set')
\`\`\`
#### TypeORM
\`\`\`typescript
// ❌ BAD: N+1 query
const users = await userRepository.find();
for (const user of users) {
user.posts = await postRepository.find({ where: { userId: user.id } });
}
// ✅ GOOD: Use relations
const users = await userRepository.find({
relations: ['posts']
});
\`\`\`
### 2. Add Missing Indexes (Priority: HIGH)
**Problem:** Queries without indexes cause full table scans.
**Index WHERE/JOIN columns:**
#### PostgreSQL/MySQL
\`\`\`sql
-- Add index on email for login queries
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);
-- Add index on foreign key
CREATE INDEX idx_posts_user_id ON posts(user_id);
-- Composite index for multi-column queries
CREATE INDEX idx_posts_user_status ON posts(user_id, status);
-- Partial index for filtered queries
CREATE INDEX idx_active_users ON users(id) WHERE status = 'active';
\`\`\`
#### MongoDB
\`\`\`javascript
// Single field index
db.users.createIndex({ email: 1 });
// Compound index
db.posts.createIndex({ userId: 1, createdAt: -1 });
// Text index for search
db.articles.createIndex({ title: "text", content: "text" });
\`\`\`
### 3. Optimize Query Patterns (Priority: MEDIUM)
**Use projection to select only needed fields:**
\`\`\`typescript
// ❌ BAD: Select all columns
const users = await prisma.user.findMany();
// ✅ GOOD: Select only needed fields
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
select: { id: true, email: true, name: true }
});
\`\`\`
**Use pagination for large datasets:**
\`\`\`typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Paginate results
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
skip: (page - 1) * pageSize,
take: pageSize
});
\`\`\`
**Use EXISTS instead of COUNT for existence checks:**
\`\`\`sql
-- ❌ BAD: Count all rows
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM posts WHERE user_id = 123;
-- ✅ GOOD: Check existence
SELECT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM posts WHERE user_id = 123 LIMIT 1);
\`\`\`
---
## Database-Specific Optimizations
### PostgreSQL
- Use \`EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)\` to analyze queries
- Enable \`pg_stat_statements\` for slow query logging
- Use \`VACUUM ANALYZE\` regularly
- Consider \`BRIN\` indexes for time-series data
- Use \`CONCURRENTLY\` when creating indexes on large tables
### MySQL
- Use \`EXPLAIN\` to analyze queries
- Enable slow query log
- Use \`ANALYZE TABLE\` to update statistics
- Consider \`FULLTEXT\` indexes for text search
- Optimize \`JOIN\` buffer size
### MongoDB
- Use \`.explain("executionStats")\` to analyze queries
- Enable profiler: \`db.setProfilingLevel(1, { slowms: 100 })\`
- Use covered queries (query + projection use same index)
- Shard large collections
- Use aggregation pipeline efficiently
---
## Query Performance Checklist
- [ ] Identify and fix all N+1 queries
- [ ] Add indexes to frequently queried columns
- [ ] Add indexes to foreign key columns
- [ ] Use composite indexes for multi-column queries
- [ ] Analyze slow queries with EXPLAIN
- [ ] Use connection pooling
- [ ] Implement query result caching
- [ ] Use pagination for large result sets
- [ ] Select only needed columns (projection)
- [ ] Optimize JOIN order in complex queries
- [ ] Review and remove unused indexes
- [ ] Monitor query performance in production
---
## Monitoring & Maintenance
### Enable Query Logging
**PostgreSQL:**
\`\`\`sql
-- In postgresql.conf
log_min_duration_statement = 100 # Log queries > 100ms
\`\`\`
**MySQL:**
\`\`\`sql
SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'ON';
SET GLOBAL long_query_time = 0.1; # 100ms
\`\`\`
**MongoDB:**
\`\`\`javascript
db.setProfilingLevel(1, { slowms: 100 });
\`\`\`
### Regular Maintenance
- Run VACUUM/ANALYZE (PostgreSQL)
- Update table statistics
- Review and optimize slow queries
- Monitor index usage
- Check for table bloat
- Review query patterns
---
## Tools & Resources
### Profiling Tools
- PostgreSQL: pg_stat_statements, pgBadger, pghero

- Modify queries without understanding business logic
- Skip testing query optimizations
What I WILL do:
- Identify performance issues safely
- Provide clear optimization recommendations
- Generate safe analysis scripts
- Suggest proper testing procedures
- Document all changes
Credits
This skill is based on:
- Use The Index, Luke - SQL indexing and tuning guide
- PostgreSQL Documentation - Query optimization best practices
- MySQL Performance Blog - Percona optimization techniques
- MongoDB Performance Best Practices - Official optimization guide
- Django ORM Optimization - select_related/prefetch_related patterns
- N+1 Query Detection - Common ORM anti-patterns
Token Budget
Target: 2,500-4,000 tokens per execution
- Phase 1-2: ~1,000 tokens (detection + N+1 analysis)
- Phase 3-4: ~1,200 tokens (indexes + query plans)
- Phase 5: ~1,200 tokens (recommendations + reporting)
Optimization Strategy:
- Use Grep for query pattern discovery
- Analyze query structure with bash
- Generate database-specific scripts
- Provide actionable recommendations
- Comprehensive reporting
This ensures thorough query optimization across all major databases and ORMs while maintaining safety and providing measurable performance improvements.
