Standards for using SQLite from Zig via the vendored C amalgamation. Load when writing or reviewing database code — opening connections, threading/concurrency, prepared statements, transactions, or value binding. Covers matching the threading mode to the sharing pattern (the SQLITE_OPEN_NOMUTEX vs FULLMUTEX decision), WAL, busy_timeout, statement reuse, and bind lifetimes.

Engineering standards for writing and reviewing Zig 0.16 in this repo. Load before creating or editing any .zig, build.zig, or build.zig.zon file, or reviewing Zig code. Covers concurrency (bounded, reused workers — not thread-per-task), per-request arena reuse, allocator discipline, error handling, and the 0.16 API changes that trip up generated code. For database code also load the `sqlite-zig` skill.
