From the source SKILL.md

This skill enables an AI agent to translate natural language questions into correct, efficient SQL queries. The agent maps user intent to the appropriate query constructs — joins, aggregations, window functions, CTEs, and subqueries — while respecting the target database schema. It also analyzes query performance with EXPLAIN plans and recommends optimizations such as indexing, predicate pushdown, and query restructuring.

What this skill does

SQL Query Generation 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/sql-query-generation/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user needs a new query from a business question or schema; use query-optimization when an existing query or execution plan is slow.
