Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Connection Pool Tuner skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Connection Pool Tuner is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.

Size and tune a database connection pool from the real constraint — the database's shared max_connections and its core count — so total connections (per-instance pool × instance count) stay safely under the cap and a too-large pool stops adding latency. Use when the app throws 'too many connections' or pool-acquire timeouts, when the DB is saturated by connection count, or when deploying to serverless.

From the source SKILL.md

Connection pools fail in two opposite ways, and a "nice round number" like 100 walks into both. Too large and every app instance's pool sums past the database's shared max_connections, so the next deploy or traffic spike exhausts the server and every instance starts throwing. Naively large and the pool is bigger than the DB has cores to serve it, so the extra connections don't add parallelism — they queue inside the database and add latency. This skill sizes the per-instance pool from concurrency need and core count, does the instances × pool ≤ max_connections arithmetic with real headroom,…

What this skill does

Connection Pool Tuner is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/connection-pool-tuner/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the app throws 'too many connections' or pool-acquire timeouts, when the DB is saturated by connection count, or when deploying to serverless.
