# sqlc Compile Pure SQL Queries into Type-Safe Go Code

Operates sqlc: writing sqlc.yaml configuration, authoring schema.sql and query.sql files, compiling with sqlc generate, type-safe query parameter structs, and integrating with pgx/v5 or database/sql.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- compile sql with sqlc
- sqlc.yaml configuration
- write sqlc query annotation

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Configure sqlc.yaml defining version: '2', sql: [{ engine: 'postgresql', schema: 'schema.sql', queries: 'query.sql' }].
2. Annotate queries: -- name: ListUsers :many
SELECT id, name, email FROM users ORDER BY name;.
3. Compile: sqlc generate to emit clean models.go and db.go.
4. Consume in application: queries := db.New(conn); users, err := queries.ListUsers(ctx).

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
