Database Design
Software development skill, available on Zeplik
Database Design is a ready-to-run software development skill on Zeplik. Database and schema design — SQL and NoSQL schema modeling, normalization, indexing, and design decision-making. Ask in plain language and Zeplik applies the skill's method for you inside the conversation, on whichever AI model you prefer.
The Database Design skill loads automatically when your request matches it, or you can invoke it directly by typing /database-design-fam in any chat. It works with attachments, connectors, and any model that supports the task, so you get the same expert method every time without setting anything up.
What the Database Design skill can do
- Model SQL and NoSQL schemas based on read and write patterns
- Recommend indexing strategies aligned with query workload
- Apply normalization and denormalization tradeoffs to schema decisions
- Deliver runnable schema artifacts with rationale for design choices

How the Database Design skill works
/database-design-fam
Umbrella for database design. The user is modeling data; establish the workload (read/write patterns, scale) and engine, then deliver a schema with indexing and a rationale. For analytics/queries route to the data skills; for surrounding backend route to backend-architecture.
Dispatch table
Pick the reference file(s) that match the request, read them, then answer. Read at most 2-3 files per turn.
| Topic | Read |
|---|---|
| Database design principles and decision-making. | references/database-design.md |
| Design robust, scalable database schemas for SQL and NoSQL databases. | references/database-schema-designer.md |
How to work
- Identify which leaf topic the request maps to from the dispatch table above; establish the concrete inputs (language, dataset, framework, file format) and the goal. Ask for a missing detail rather than guessing.
- Read the matching reference file(s) before answering. Read at most 2-3 per turn.
- Deliver runnable artifacts — code, configs, specs — with a short rationale, matching the user's existing conventions when they paste code.
- Confirm any decision the source flags (versions, thresholds, tradeoffs) with the user instead of guessing.
