RisingWave's agent-skills package injects streaming SQL expertise into 18 AI coding assistants (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) via the agentskills.io open spec. It ships two skill modules: core RisingWave connectivity and 14 best-practice rules covering CDC ingestion, materialized view patterns, time-windowed aggregations, and common pitfalls. Install via npm CLI which auto-detects which agents you have installed. Apache 2.0 licensed.

This is my daily driver. The codebase awareness is unreal — it understands project structure, conventions, and dependencies without being told. Multi-file refactors just work.

AI coding assistants hallucinate streaming SQL constantly — CDC ingestion patterns, windowed aggregations, and materialized view semantics are all places where generic training data fails hard. An installable skill package that auto-detects your agents and patches in correct context is exactly the right fix. Worth adding if you're building on RisingWave.

Skeptic

Rate limits are the only downside. When it's running smoothly, it's the best coding assistant available. When you hit limits, you're stuck waiting. Plan for that.

This only matters if you're already using RisingWave, which is a niche streaming SQL database with a much smaller user base than Postgres or Kafka. Four stars on GitHub suggests the audience is narrow. The agentskills.io spec is interesting as a standard but it's vapor if no one else adopts it.

The terminal-first approach was the right call. Developers live in their terminal. This isn't an IDE plugin — it's an AI-native development environment.

Every database, framework, and specialized API is going to need its own skill package for AI coding agents. RisingWave is just the first mover on an inevitable pattern. The open spec is the actually important thing here — it could become how the entire ecosystem teaches agents about domain-specific tools.

Not really in my wheelhouse — streaming SQL and data pipelines are developer infrastructure. But the 'teach your AI assistant the local dialect' concept is one I'd love to see applied to design systems, component libraries, and brand guidelines. Someone should build this for Figma.
