name: query-optimizer description: Optimize SQL and Prisma queries using AI. Use when your queries are slow and you need performance help.

Query Optimizer

Slow queries killing your app? Paste your SQL or Prisma code and get optimization suggestions. Index recommendations, query rewrites, N+1 detection. The stuff that takes hours to figure out manually.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-query-optimize "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email LIKE '%@gmail.com'"

What It Does

• Analyzes SQL and Prisma queries for performance issues
• Suggests missing indexes with CREATE INDEX statements
• Rewrites queries to avoid common antipatterns
• Detects N+1 problems in ORM code
• Explains why changes improve performance

Usage Examples

# Optimize a SQL query
npx ai-query-optimize "SELECT * FROM orders WHERE created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'"

# Analyze a Prisma query file
npx ai-query-optimize queries.ts

# Check for N+1 issues
npx ai-query-optimize src/api/users.ts --check-n-plus-one

# Get index recommendations
npx ai-query-optimize schema.sql --suggest-indexes

Best Practices

• Include your schema - Context about tables and existing indexes helps a lot
• Measure before and after - EXPLAIN ANALYZE doesn't lie
• Test with real data - Optimizations that work on 100 rows might fail on 1M
• Don't optimize prematurely - Fix actual slow queries, not theoretical ones

When to Use This

• Database queries are showing up in your APM as slow
• Users are complaining about loading times
• You inherited a codebase with questionable query patterns
• Learning SQL optimization and want to understand the patterns
