Build a PostgreSQL backend loadable extension (.so / contrib module) — covers the .control file, the foo--1.0.sql install script + foo--1.0--1.1.sql upgrade scripts, PGXS vs meson build wiring, the PGinit entry point, sharedpreloadlibraries vs LOAD vs CREATE EXTENSION load timing, chained hook installation (ProcessUtilityhook, plannerhook, ExecutorStarthook), trusted vs untrusted extensions, and SQL-callable C function declarations (PGFUNCTIONINFOV1, PGRETURN). Use whenever a PG extension is being written or modified — wiring PGinit, registering hooks, picking PGXS vs meson, writing install/upgrade SQL, declaring CREATE FUNCTION ... LANGUAGE C, or marking the extension trusted. Skip for VS Code / Chrome / Firefox / Safari / browser extensions, NPM / pip / RubyGems / Cargo packages, IntelliJ / Eclipse plugins, and shell completion scripts.

Quick start
Copy the install prompt. Use the green button above this README.
Send it to your agent. Paste it into your coding agent’s chat and send.
Review the setup. Your agent checks the skill’s instructions, requirements, and installation scope.
Build a PostgreSQL backend loadable extension (.so / contrib module) — covers the .control file, the foo--1.0.sql install script + foo--1.0--1.1.sql upgrade scripts, PGXS vs meson build wiring, the `_PG_init` entry point, shared_preload_libraries vs LOAD vs CREATE EXTENSION load timing, chained hook installation (ProcessUtility_hook, planner_hook, ExecutorStart_hook), trusted vs untrusted extensions, and SQL-callable C function declarations (PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1, PG_RETURN_*). Use whenever a PG extension is being written or modified — wiring _PG_init, registering hooks, picking PGXS vs meson, writing install/upgrade SQL, declaring CREATE FUNCTION ... LANGUAGE C, or marking the extension trusted.
