index-query-engine

index-query-engine is a Databases & SQL skill for AI agents, published by cardstack in the boxel repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates index-query-engine D (64/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Architecture of the index query engine (`packages/runtime-common/index-query-engine.ts`) — the two-pass pipeline that compiles a `Query` filter tree into SQL that runs identically on Postgres and SQLite, plus the invariants every change must preserve (deferred expression nodes, cardinality-driven json_tree confinement, filter polarity, the shared table-valued alias semantics, synthetic search-doc keys, and the client-side parity contract with `instance-filter-matcher.ts`). Use when editing or reviewing the query engine, adding a filter operator or synthetic key, changing how field paths compile, or debugging why a query behaves differently across adapters or between server and local search.
