What it does

This skill provisions short-lived Postgres databases via Neon’s Claimable Postgres (pg.new) and returns connection details and a claim URL. It automates creating a disposable DATABASE_URL for local development, testing, demos, or CI tasks where a throwaway Postgres instance is needed quickly. The skill explains REST, CLI, SDK, and Vite-plugin methods for provisioning and writing the resulting connection string to an .env file.

When to use it

Use it when you need a fast, ephemeral Postgres instance without signing up for an account: spinning up test data, running migrations in CI jobs, creating reproducible demos, or bootstrapping a dev environment for a contributor. Avoid for production or long-term state unless the user claims the database via the provided claim URL.
