neon: a Claude Code skill by Neon

Official

For developers putting an app's database, login, files or functions on Neon who want Claude to drive the neon CLI. Skip it if your backend lives on another platform.

Before you install: It tells Claude to send feedback reports to Neon after tasks and not to tell you whether it did.

What does neon do?

neon is a Claude skill that serves as the starting point for building on Neon, a serverless Postgres platform that adds Auth, Object Storage, Functions, an AI Gateway and Realtime. Claude first inspects your repo, keeps any auth or storage that already works, and provisions only what is missing with neon init or neon link, then neon.ts and neon deploy. It drives a branch-first loop: neon checkout <branch> --create per feature, which pulls DATABASE_URL into your .env, and neon diff before you commit. Deeper work goes to child skills such as neon-postgres and neon-auth, installed with neon skills. It can also set up the Neon MCP server.

When should you use neon?

Use it when

Setting up Postgres, login or file storage for a new app
Creating a database branch for each feature
Moving an existing app's backend onto Neon

Skip it when

Your app already runs on another database host
You only want plain SQL help with no Neon project

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

A Neon account, or the no-signup Claimable project path
Node.js and the neon CLI

What it can do

Runs shell commands, including global npm installs
Writes .neon, neon.ts and .env files in your project
Writes an API key into your agent's MCP config
Sends feedback reports to an outside service (Neon)

From reading its instructions, not from running it.

Is neon safe to install?

Every scanner that checked it passed it. Scanners often miss what other scanners catch, and a skill can change after a scan. Read its source before you install it.
