Verify a SurrealDB-backed canonical layer directly, over the `surrealdb` MCP server, instead of writing a disposable Node script per check. Use whenever the user asks to confirm a batch of writes landed correctly ("did the FreedomFest speakers get tagged right", "do these people have an org relationship", "check that event's rows aren't duplicated"), whenever a new client/event/import needs its data audited for coherence, whenever setting up SurrealMCP for a new project, or when the user mentions "SurrealDB", "canonical layer", "client_access tagging", "affiliation edge", or names this skill directly. Encodes augment-it's live schema (persons/organizations/affiliations/observations/events) as the worked example, the per-table client_access shape (string[] on most tables, singular string on observations — a real inconsistency, not a typo), the flag-don't-fix verification discipline, and the read-only-vs-full-CRUD tradeoff of the official surrealmcp server. Generalizes past augment-it to any project (dididecks-ai, memopop-ai) that adopts the same schemaless-canonical-layer + observations-as-log pattern.

From the source SKILL.md

A SurrealDB-backed canonical layer (persons/organizations/affiliations plus a schemaless observations log, all multi-tenant via client_access) is first live in augment-it, and the pattern — canonical entities + an append-only observation log + client-scoped visibility — is the kind of shape other Lossless projects (dididecks-ai, memopop-ai) are likely to reach for too. This skill is the discipline for querying that layer directly to verify a batch of writes landed correctly, replacing the previous habit of writing a fresh disposable Node script (connect → signin → use → query, deleted after)…

What this skill does

Surrealdb Canonical Layer 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/surrealdb-canonical-layer/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever the user asks to confirm a batch of writes landed correctly ("did the FreedomFest speakers get tagged right", "do these people have an org relationship", "check that event's rows aren't duplicated"), whenever a new client/event/import needs its data audited for coherence, whenever setting up SurrealMCP for a new project, or when the user mentions "SurrealDB", "canonical layer", "client_access tagging", "affiliation edge", or names this skill directly. Encodes augment-it's live schema (persons/organizations/affiliations/observations/events) as the worked example, the per-table client_access shape (string[] on most tables, singular string on observations — a real inconsistency, not a typo), the flag-don't-fix verification discipline, and the read-only-vs-full-CRUD tradeoff of the official surrealmcp server.

Who uses this skill

The Surrealdb Canonical Layer Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Surrealdb Canonical Layer Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/surrealdb-canonical-layer/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.
What does the Surrealdb Canonical Layer skill do?

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Surrealdb Canonical Layer skill?
Use Surrealdb Canonical Layer when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the general misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Surrealdb Canonical Layer" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Surrealdb Canonical Layer 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. Surrealdb Canonical Layer is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
