alloydb-postgres-optimize

name	alloydb-postgres-optimize
description	Use these skills when you need to discover and manage PostgreSQL extensions or fine-tune engine-level settings such as memory allocation and server configuration parameters.

Usage

All scripts can be executed using Node.js. Replace <param_name> and <param_value> with actual values.

Bash: node <skill_dir>/scripts/<script_name>.js '{"<param_name>": "<param_value>"}'

PowerShell: node <skill_dir>/scripts/<script_name>.js '{\"<param_name>\": \"<param_value>\"}'

Note: The scripts automatically load the environment variables from various .env files. Do not ask the user to set vars unless skill executions fails due to env var absence.
