What problem does it solve?

Manually configuring PostgreSQL readiness health checks for .NET ASP.NET Core applications is repetitive and prone to configuration errors, which can lead to undetected database outages during deployments or missed probe failures in orchestration platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Probe Registration: Adds Npgsql-based PostgreSQL readiness health checks to the .NET HealthChecks pipeline with a single configuration step.
• Connection String Binding: Automatically retrieves the correct database connection string from application configuration to avoid hardcoding sensitive credentials.
• Use Case: For teams using the Jarvis .NET 9 backend framework, this skill lets you quickly add a /health/ready endpoint that validates PostgreSQL connectivity, ensuring Kubernetes or other orchestration tools only route traffic to healthy service instances.

Quick Start

Use the healthcheck-dotnet-postgresql skill to register a PostgreSQL readiness health check for your .NET project's configured main database connection string.
