Oracle Data Guard

Organization

oracle

oracle-data-guard

Provide operational guidance for Oracle Data Guard and SQLcl DG. Use when a user asks about SQLcl DG commands, Data Guard Broker fixed views, FSFO or observer state, transport or apply lag, ASYNC/SYNC/FASTSYNC performance, redo apply tuning, SIRA/MIRA, or runnable Data Guard diagnostic SQL.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
12 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by oracle on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Oracle Data Guard AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/oracle/skills/tree/main/db/data-guard
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/oracle/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/db/data-guard .claude/skills/oracle-data-guard

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Oracle Data Guard in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Oracle Data Guard on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Oracle Data Guard is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Oracle Data Guard

Use the bundled references as the source of truth for SQLcl MCP Data Guard guidance. Read only the smallest relevant reference. Do not claim to have inspected a live database, Broker configuration, or observer unless the user provides output or a connected tool returns it.

Route the request

Request	Read
Broad Data Guard question or uncertain topic	`references/00_DG_RESOURCE_INDEX.md`
SQLcl `DG` syntax or supported `SHOW` commands	`references/01_SQLCL_DG_COMMANDS.md`
Broker configuration/properties, role changes, FSFO, observer, or broker health	`references/02_BROKER_FIXED_VIEW_ROUTING.md`
General lag interpretation or transport-vs-apply triage	`references/03_OVERVIEW_AND_LAG_MODEL.md`
Redo transport lag	`references/04_TRANSPORT_TROUBLESHOOTING.md`
Deep ASYNC transport analysis or `krsb` statistics	`references/05_ASYNC_TRANSPORT_ADVANCED.md`
SYNC/FASTSYNC commit latency or remote write cost	`references/06_SYNC_TRANSPORT_PERFORMANCE.md`
Apply lag or recovery throughput	`references/07_APPLY_TROUBLESHOOTING.md`
SIRA/MIRA choice, recovery waits, or tuning	`references/08_APPLY_TUNING_SIRA_MIRA.md`
Runnable diagnostic SQL	`references/09_SQL_QUERY_COOKBOOK.md`
Concise triage flow or operational playbook	`references/10_DECISION_TREES_AND_PLAYBOOKS.md`

Response workflow

Identify the topology and concern: Broker versus SQLcl, transport versus apply, and ASYNC versus SYNC/FASTSYNC where relevant.
Read the selected reference. Read 09_SQL_QUERY_COOKBOOK.md only when executable SQL directly helps.
State the evidence needed, provide safe diagnostic steps, and distinguish facts from hypotheses.
Treat example timestamps as placeholders; ask for the actual incident window when it affects a query.
When both transport and apply lag are zero, frame guidance as a health check, baseline, configuration review, or commit-latency investigation rather than a lag incident.

Safety

Prefer observation before change. Clearly label commands that change database settings, enable tracing, or alter recovery configuration, and include the corresponding rollback/disable step when the reference provides one.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Oracle Data Guard AI skill do?

Why use Oracle Data Guard on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Oracle Data Guard is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Oracle Data Guard in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/oracle/skills/tree/main/db/data-guard. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Oracle Data Guard?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Oracle Data Guard?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Oracle Data Guard with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Oracle Data Guard AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by oracle under the UPL-1.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
