# Outcome
Produce a concrete, reviewable result for the workflow below without overstating what was
observed, executed, or verified.
## Compatibility
Portable across Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. Plan interpretation targets PostgreSQL 18;
check it against the deployed version and provider. The optional Python 3.11 helper parses
local EXPLAIN JSON only and never connects to PostgreSQL or executes SQL.
## Use this skill when
- A statement or normalized query family misses a latency, throughput, or resource budget.
- An EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE plan needs safe, evidence-based interpretation.
- Parameter skew, generic/custom plans, stale statistics, join choice, spills, or repeated work may explain instability.
- A performance recommendation needs a correctness-preserving experiment and success metric.
## Do not use this skill when
- The task is greenfield modeling, constraints, tenancy, or RLS design; use `postgres-schema-design`.
- The task is a broad deployed-schema audit; use `postgres-schema-review`.
- The bottleneck is established and the deliverable is an exact index proposal; use `postgres-index-design`.
- The deliverable is rollout mechanics for an approved query/schema change; use `postgres-migration-safety`.
## Inputs
Inspect or obtain:
- PostgreSQL version/provider, instance/storage context, relevant planner and memory settings, and observation window.
- Sanitized SQL shape, statement identifier, parameter classes, transaction/isolation context, and pr
