  • 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.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by psincraian on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. 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.
2

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/psincraian/myfy.git /tmp/myfy
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/myfy/plugins/claude-code/skills/data-module .claude/skills/data-module
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Data Module 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 Data Module 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 Data Module 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.

DataModule - Database Access

DataModule provides async SQLAlchemy integration with connection pooling and REQUEST-scoped sessions.

Quick Start

python
from myfy.core import Application
from myfy.data import DataModule, AsyncSession
from myfy.web import route

app = Application()
app.add_module(DataModule())

@route.get("/users/{user_id}")
async def get_user(user_id: int, session: AsyncSession) -> dict:
    # session is auto-injected (REQUEST scope)
    result = await session.execute(select(User).where(User.id == user_id))
    return {"user": result.scalar_one_or_none()}

Configuration

Environment variables use the MYFY_DATA_ prefix:

VariableDefaultDescription
MYFY_DATA_DATABASE_URLsqlite+aiosqlite:///./myfy.dbDatabase connection URL
MYFY_DATA_POOL_SIZE5Number of connections in pool
MYFY_DATA_MAX_OVERFLOW10Extra connections beyond pool_size
MYFY_DATA_POOL_TIMEOUT30.0Seconds to wait for connection
MYFY_DATA_POOL_RECYCLE3600Seconds before connection recycled
MYFY_DATA_POOL_PRE_PINGTrueTest connections before use
MYFY_DATA_ECHOFalseLog all SQL statements
MYFY_DATA_ENVIRONMENTdevelopmentEnvironment (blocks auto_create in production)

Supported Databases

python
# SQLite (development)
MYFY_DATA_DATABASE_URL="sqlite+aiosqlite:///./app.db"

# PostgreSQL (production)
MYFY_DATA_DATABASE_URL="postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/db"

# MySQL
MYFY_DATA_DATABASE_URL="mysql+aiomysql://user:pass@localhost/db"

Defining Models

python
from sqlalchemy import String
from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped, mapped_column

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255), unique=True)
    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100))

Auto-Create Tables (Development Only)

python
from myfy.data import DataModule

app.add_module(DataModule(
    auto_create_tables=True,  # Only in development!
    metadata=Base.metadata,
))

Raises AutoCreateTablesProductionError if MYFY_DATA_ENVIRONMENT=production.

Using Sessions in Routes

Sessions are REQUEST-scoped (one per HTTP request):

python
from myfy.data import AsyncSession
from sqlalchemy import select

@route.get("/users")
async def list_users(session: AsyncSession) -> list[dict]:
    result = await session.execute(select(User))
    users = result.scalars().all()
    return [{"id": u.id, "name": u.name} for u in users]

@route.post("/users", status_code=201)
async def create_user(body: UserCreate, session: AsyncSession) -> dict:
    user = User(**body.model_dump())
    session.add(user)
    await session.commit()
    await session.refresh(user)
    return {"id": user.id}

Using Sessions in Providers

python
from myfy.core import provider, REQUEST
from myfy.data import AsyncSession

@provider(scope=REQUEST)
def user_repository(session: AsyncSession) -> UserRepository:
    return UserRepository(session)

Transactions

Sessions auto-commit on success, rollback on exception:

python
@route.post("/transfer")
async def transfer(body: TransferRequest, session: AsyncSession) -> dict:
    # Both updates succeed or both rollback
    sender = await session.get(Account, body.sender_id)
    receiver = await session.get(Account, body.receiver_id)

    sender.balance -= body.amount
    receiver.balance += body.amount

    await session.commit()  # Explicit commit
    return {"success": True}

Using SessionFactory Directly

For background jobs or manual session management:

python
from myfy.data import SessionFactory

@provider(scope=SINGLETON)
def background_service(factory: SessionFactory) -> BackgroundService:
    return BackgroundService(factory)

class BackgroundService:
    async def process(self):
        async with self.factory.session_context() as session:
            # Manual session management
            await self.do_work(session)

Alembic Migrations

Initialize Alembic:

bash
alembic init migrations

Configure alembic.ini:

ini
sqlalchemy.url = driver://user:pass@localhost/dbname

Configure migrations/env.py:

python
from app.models import Base
target_metadata = Base.metadata

Create and run migrations:

bash
alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Add users table"
alembic upgrade head

Best Practices

  1. Use async drivers - asyncpg for PostgreSQL, aiosqlite for SQLite
  2. Never share sessions - Sessions are REQUEST-scoped for a reason
  3. Use migrations in production - Don't use auto_create_tables in production
  4. Configure pool size - Match to expected concurrent connections
  5. Enable pool_pre_ping - Detects stale connections before use
  6. Use transactions - Group related operations in a single commit

Frequently asked questions

What does the Data Module AI skill do?

myfy DataModule for database access with async SQLAlchemy. Use when working with DataModule, AsyncSession, database connections, connection pooling, migrations, or SQLAlchemy models.

Why use Data Module on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Data Module 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 Data Module in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/psincraian/myfy/tree/main/plugins/claude-code/skills/data-module. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Data Module?

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 Data Module?

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

Is the Data Module AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by psincraian. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
