# Send TimescaleDB to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "timescaledb", "name": "TimescaleDB", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "其他", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ivangdavila/timescaledb", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ivangdavila/timescaledb", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/timescaledb", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=timescaledb", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "SKILL.md" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "slug": "timescaledb", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-04-29T12:19:40.085Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-06T12:19:40.085Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=timescaledb", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=timescaledb", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"timescaledb-1.0.0.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null, "slug": "timescaledb" }, "scope": "item", "summary": "Item download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/timescaledb" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/timescaledb", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/timescaledb", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/timescaledb/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/timescaledb/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/timescaledb/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### Hypertables Convert table to hypertable: SELECT create_hypertable('metrics', 'time') Must have time column (TIMESTAMPTZ recommended)—partition key for chunks Call BEFORE inserting data—converting large tables is expensive Can't undo easily—plan schema before converting ### Chunk Interval Default 7 days per chunk—tune based on data volume SELECT set_chunk_time_interval('metrics', INTERVAL '1 day') for high-volume Chunks should be 25% of memory—too small = overhead, too large = slow queries Check chunk sizes: SELECT * FROM chunks_detailed_size('metrics') ### time_bucket time_bucket('1 hour', time) groups timestamps—like date_trunc but with arbitrary intervals Use in GROUP BY for aggregation: GROUP BY time_bucket('5 minutes', time) Origin parameter for offset: time_bucket('1 day', time, '2024-01-01'::timestamptz) Beats date_trunc for non-standard intervals—15min, 4h, etc. ### Continuous Aggregates Materialized views that auto-refresh—pre-compute expensive aggregations CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW hourly_stats WITH (timescaledb.continuous) AS SELECT ... Add refresh policy: SELECT add_continuous_aggregate_policy('hourly_stats', ...) Query aggregate view instead of raw hypertable—orders of magnitude faster ### Real-Time Aggregates Continuous aggregates include recent data automatically—no stale reads WITH (timescaledb.continuous, timescaledb.materialized_only = false) for real-time Combines materialized historical + live recent—transparent to queries Small performance cost for real-time—disable if batch-only acceptable ### Compression Compress old chunks to save 90%+ storage: ALTER TABLE metrics SET (timescaledb.compress) Add compression policy: SELECT add_compression_policy('metrics', INTERVAL '7 days') Compressed chunks are read-only—can't update/delete individual rows Decompress for modifications: SELECT decompress_chunk('chunk_name') ### Retention Auto-delete old data: SELECT add_retention_policy('metrics', INTERVAL '90 days') Drops entire chunks—efficient, no row-by-row delete Retention runs on scheduler—data persists slightly past interval Combine with compression: compress at 7d, drop at 90d ### Indexing Time column auto-indexed in hypertable—don't add redundant index Add indexes on filter columns: CREATE INDEX ON metrics (device_id, time DESC) Composite indexes with time last—enables chunk exclusion Skip indexes on rarely-filtered columns—each index slows writes ### Insert Performance Batch inserts critical—single-row inserts are slow Use COPY or multi-value INSERT: INSERT INTO metrics VALUES (...), (...), ... Parallel COPY with timescaledb-parallel-copy tool—saturates I/O Out-of-order inserts work but slower—prefer time-ordered writes ### Query Patterns Always include time range in WHERE—enables chunk exclusion WHERE time > now() - INTERVAL '1 day' skips old chunks entirely ORDER BY time DESC with LIMIT for "latest N"—index scan, fast Avoid SELECT * on wide tables—fetch only needed columns ### Distributed Hypertables Multi-node for horizontal scale—data sharded across nodes Create access node + data nodes—access node coordinates queries More operational complexity—start single-node, distribute when needed Not needed for most workloads—single node handles millions of rows/sec ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: ivangdavila - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-29T12:19:40.085Z - Expires at: 2026-05-06T12:19:40.085Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/timescaledb) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/timescaledb/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/timescaledb/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/timescaledb/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/timescaledb)
