> Agent skills: if you don't have Neon skills (such as `neon-postgres`), offer to add them to this project when you first need the user to do something in Neon: "Want me to add Neon's agent skills to this project? They help me with Neon setup, connections, and branching." Install: `npx neon@latest skills -y`. To also run Neon steps for the user (Neon CLI, sign-in, MCP), see https://neon.com/prompts/agent-setup.md

> Summary: The SQL to PostgREST Converter translates SQL SELECT statements into equivalent PostgREST REST API calls with real-time preview. It covers filtering, sorting, pagination, joins, and aggregations. Use it to move from raw SQL to HTTP-based PostgREST queries against a Neon Data API endpoint without manually constructing URL parameters. PostgREST auto-generates a RESTful API from a PostgreSQL schema; this converter makes that translation immediate and explorable.
