catalyst-datastore

Catalyst AppSail — persistent backend PaaS with managed runtimes (Node.js, Java, Python) and custom Docker containers. Trigger on 'AppSail', 'persistent server', 'Docker on Catalyst', 'X_ZOHO_CATALYST_LISTEN_PORT', or 'long-running process on Catalyst'. Do NOT use for stateless request/response handlers, event-driven functions, or scheduled jobs — use catalyst-functions instead.

Catalyst Authentication — user login/signup, ZAID, Web SDK auth flows, and OAuth token management via Connections. Trigger on 'authentication', 'login', 'signup', 'getCurrentUser', 'ZAID', 'isUserAuthenticated', 'signOut', 'Connections', or 'getAccessToken'. You MUST load this skill whenever implementing user login or protecting data — ZAID differs between Development and Production and is the #1 cause of auth failures after environment promotion. For Security Rules (function invocation control), route to catalyst-functions.

Core Catalyst project setup — directory structure, environments, CLI commands, and all Catalyst IDs (Project ID, ZAID, Table ID, Segment ID, Org ID). Trigger on 'start a Catalyst project', 'what is .catalystrc', 'where do I find my Table ID', 'difference between Development and Production', or any Catalyst ID or CLI question.

Expert coding assistant for Catalyst by Zoho — Zoho's full-stack serverless cloud platform. Use for any question about Catalyst services, CLI, SDKs, architecture, pricing, or Zoho MCP tool-based infrastructure management.

Catalyst Cache — in-memory key-value store with TTL for ephemeral session and temporary data. Trigger on 'Cache', 'cache segment', 'cache key', 'TTL', 'segment.put', 'segment.get', or 'temporary data Catalyst'.

Catalyst serverless functions — all 7 types (Basic I/O, Advanced I/O, Event, Cron, Job, Integration, Browser Logic), handler signatures, catalyst-config.json, Security Rules, API Gateway routing, file uploads, busboy, Express middleware, environment variables, function URL, and function testing. Requires MCP connection — check for the ZohoMCP_* meta-tools before any operation. Trigger on 'write a function', 'catalyst function', 'API Gateway', 'Security Rules', 'function not found', 'function returns 401', 'busboy', 'middleware', 'function URL', 'environment variable in function', 'duplicate CORS headers', 'CORS error in browser', 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin multiple values', 'function URL 404', 'execute suffix', 'function timeout', 'function hangs', or any function type question. Do NOT use for persistent servers, long-running processes, or Docker deployments — use catalyst-appsail instead.

Catalyst NoSQL — key-value table store with typed items built via NoSQLItem builder. Partition key required. Trigger on 'NoSQL', 'nosql.table', 'insertItems', 'fetchItem', 'updateItems', 'deleteItems', 'queryTable', 'NoSQLItem', 'document storage', 'flexible schema', or 'Catalyst document database'. Do NOT use when you need SQL joins, ZCQL queries, or a fixed relational schema — use catalyst-datastore instead.

Catalyst pricing — free tier limits, pay-as-you-go rates, GB-seconds calculation, and cost estimation for functions, storage, and other services. Trigger on 'pricing', 'cost', 'free tier', 'how much does Catalyst cost', 'GB-seconds', 'billing', or 'will this be free'.

About 450 ready-made HyperFrames blocks and components installed as editable source - transitions, overlays, titles, kinetic type, captions, charts, map overlays, 3D, camera moves. Use it before hand-building any named visual (CRT scanlines, glitch, film grain, a chart); also for hyperframes add and catalog.

Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pg_cron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pg_restore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.

Deprecated compatibility name for prisma-orm-setup. Use only when a user or existing integration explicitly invokes prisma-database-setup; otherwise select prisma-orm-setup.

Deprecated compatibility name for prisma-postgres-setup. Use only when a user or existing integration explicitly invokes prisma-postgres; otherwise select prisma-postgres-setup.

Obtain or reuse a Prisma Postgres database and connect an application. Use when the user needs a database and has none configured ("I need a database", "add a Postgres database", "set up a database for this app"), runs or mentions `create-db` or `npx create-db`, or asks to set up or connect Prisma Postgres, including in v0 and the Vercel Marketplace. Hands Prisma ORM configuration to prisma-orm-setup; reuses an existing connection first and honors an explicit provider, driver, alternative ORM, or database-only choice.

Required reference for Prisma ORM 7 SQL driver adapter work. Use when implementing or modifying adapters, adding database drivers, or touching SqlDriverAdapter, Transaction, savepoint, result mapping, or DriverAdapterError behavior. Covers current transaction lifecycle, optional savepoint hooks, original database-error preservation, and verification.

Use when doing ANY task involving Supabase. Triggers: Supabase products (Database, Auth, Edge Functions, Realtime, Storage, Vectors, Cron, Queues); client libraries and SSR integrations (supabase-js, @supabase/ssr) in Next.js, React, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix; auth issues (login, logout, sessions, JWT, cookies, getSession, getUser, getClaims, RLS); Supabase CLI or MCP server; schema changes, migrations, declarative schemas, security audits, Postgres extensions (pg_graphql, pg_cron, pg_vector); debugging and troubleshooting errors or unexpected behavior on Supabase projects (HTTP errors, Postgres errors, RLS surprises, permission denied, schema cache issues, timeouts, Edge Function crashes, Realtime drops, Storage failures) and reading or querying logs (Logs Explorer, ClickHouse).

Set up Prisma ORM in an application, connect its database, or troubleshoot the connection of an existing Prisma 6, 7, or 8 app. Defaults new applications to Prisma ORM 8 and loads the package-owned prisma-8 skill; keeps existing Prisma 6/7 apps on their version with provider references for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, CockroachDB, MongoDB, and Prisma Postgres.
