Building your first VillageSQL Extension with AI skills

This is a technical walkthrough of the vsql-extension-builder recently released May 28 at Percona Live Bay Area 2026 and found at https://github.com/villagesql/villagesql-skills .

Highlights

1. Install VillageSQL pre-built binary first
2. Install SDK with pre-built binary second
3. Install the skill
4. Run it with your AI tool

The output can be found at https://github.com/ronaldbradford/vsql_fibonacci .

My advice is just go try it out.

If you would like to see my more significant WIP, check out vsql-statistics (currently 43 functions), or for fun solve Sudoku with vsql-games

This blog is written by a human, only the responses and the image are provided by GenAI. This took considerably longer to document here, then to just execute.

The results

I asked the skill the following question.

❯ I'd like a function that is passed a number and for it to print 'n' fibonacci numbers

At the end I have:

mysql> SELECT fibonacci_sequence(20) AS result;
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| result                                                                          |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| {"fibonacci":[0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987,1597,2584,4181]} |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT JSON_EXTRACT(CAST(fibonacci_sequence(10) AS CHAR), '$.fibonacci[6]') AS sixth_number;
+--------------+
| sixth_number |
+--------------+
| 8            |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

The Skills Results

In addition to the working function shown above, all the code in a local git repo, the skill provide a detailed final assessment that summarizes the work performed.

Extension Summary

This is the output at the end of the skill building process.

⏺ All phases of the VillageSQL Fibonacci Extension are now complete!

vsql_fibonacci is a fully functional, tested, and documented VillageSQL extension that provides:

• Function: fibonacci_sequence(N INT) → STRING
• Generates the first N Fibonacci numbers (F(0)=0, F(1)=1)
• Returns results as JSON: {“fibonacci”:[0,1,1,2,3]}
• Input validation: N must be in range [1, 25]
• Overflow detection for edge cases
• NULL handling

Key Features:

✅ Overflow detection implemented and tested (CTO Phase 4)

✅ JSON_EXTRACT tests with CAST workaround documented (Phase 5/6)

✅ 12 comprehensive test cases covering core functionality, JSON operations, error cases, and NULL handling

✅ All tests passing

✅ Complete README with function reference, examples, and workarounds

✅ Known limitations clearly documented

Notable Implementation Details:

• Uses VillageSQL’s typed C++ API with constexpr constants for code quality
• Binary charset limitation documented with working CAST(… AS CHAR) workaround for JSON functions
• Helper functions for buffer safety
• Proper error handling with VDF error codes
• Maximum N=25 enforced per user requirement (UAT Phase 5)

Deliverables in /Users/demo/villagesql/vsql-fibonacci/:

• Fully functional source code (src/vsql_fibonacci.cc)
• CMake build configuration

Phase 0: Foundation & Environment

Within claude /vsql-extension-builder prompts you what would you like actioned with the 7-phase workflow. You are also prompted for a C++ or Rust implementation, and a few simple questions like is this an existing PostgreSQL extension, how would you like to git this work.

⏺ I'm the VillageSQL Extension Builder. I build VillageSQL extensions end-to-end using a structured 7-phase workflow.

  Before we start, let me verify that you want to invoke this skill (vs. asking a question about how to use it). I see you've run /vsql-extension-builder with no description argument.

  Let's begin at Phase 0.

  ---
  Phase 0: Foundation & Environment

  I'll gather the essentials to set up your extension.

  Question 1: What extension should you build?

  Describe the extension you want to create — what SQL functions or types should it provide, and what problem does it solve? A few sentences are enough; I'll ask for clarity if needed.

❯ I'd like a function that is passed a number and for it to print 'n' fibonacci numbers

⏺ Got it. You want a function that takes a number N and returns N fibonacci numbers. That's a clear SQL extension scope — good.

  Now I need a few more details:

  Question 2: Implementation language — C++ or Rust?

  Which language would you prefer for the implementation?
  - C++ (default) — widest VEF coverage, most examples in the VillageSQL codebase
  - Rust — type-safe, requires cargo 1.87+ and cargo-vsql installed

  Which would you like?

❯ C++

As this was setup on a new machine, I knew I was going to need some dependencies, hence my highlights list above. VillageSQL also is streamlining the process with PR #94 and PR #27 .

Pre-requisites

❯ I don't have villagesql server installed what do I need to do.

⏺ The VillageSQL Extension Builder requires a running VillageSQL server to build and test the extension. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Install VillageSQL — Follow the installation guide at https://villagesql.com. The installer will set up:
    - The VillageSQL server binary (mysqld)
    - The build directory (stored in ~/.villagesql/credentials.txt)
    - Connection credentials
  2. Start the server — Once installed, ensure the VillageSQL server is running. The installer typically provides a command to start it.
  3. Verify the install — After installation, you should have:
    - A ~/.villagesql/credentials.txt file with build paths and connection details
    - A running mysqld process you can connect to with mysql -u root

  Once you've installed VillageSQL and started the server, come back and run /vsql-extension-builder again. The skill will automatically detect your build directory and server connection.

  Need help with the VillageSQL installation itself, or questions about the Extension Builder workflow?

At this time I switched to a separate session for the following.

Sidebar: Claude is much more granular than Gemini in pre-approving what you wish to run for the session shell. I’ve auto enabled the following for example:

❯ 2. Yes, and don’t ask again for /Users/demo/.villagesql/prebuilt/bin/mysql commands in /Users/demo/villagesql

Question 1: PostgreSQL port?

Question 2: Acceptance criteria

We're ready to resume Phase 0. I have:
  - Extension description: A function that takes a number N and returns N fibonacci numbers
  - Language: C++
  - Build dir: /Users/demo/.villagesql/prebuilt
  - Server version: 0.0.4
  - veb_dir: /Users/demo/.villagesql/prebuilt/lib/veb/

  Now I need two more pieces of information:

  Question 1: PostgreSQL port?

  Is this a port of an existing PostgreSQL extension, or a new extension you're designing from scratch?

  Question 2: Acceptance criteria

  When someone uses this extension, what should it do exactly? For example:
  - What should the function be called?
  - Should it return the N fibonacci numbers as a table/result set, or as a single value?
  - Any specific output format?
  - Any edge cases (like what happens if N=0, N=1, or negative numbers)?

❯ not a port. call it fibonacci_sequence. return as table would be nice, can you do that? ensure n is >0

⏺ Perfect. A table return makes sense. Before I finalize the acceptance criteria, one clarification:

  Fibonacci sequence definition — which starting point?
  - Option 1: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... (starts at 0)
  - Option 2: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21... (starts at 1)

  Which convention would you prefer for fibonacci_sequence(5)?

❯ use the modern convention.

Note. I didn’t give the answer, I gave the technical description. Glad it understood.

⏺ Got it. Modern convention starts at 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...

  So fibonacci_sequence(5) returns a table with 5 rows: [0, 1, 1, 2, 3]

  Let me draft the Phase 0 acceptance criteria:

  1. Given input N > 0, fibonacci_sequence(N) must return a table with exactly N rows
  2. The returned sequence must follow the standard Fibonacci definition (F(0)=0, F(1)=1, F(n)=F(n-1)+F(n-2))
  3. The function must reject N ≤ 0 with an error
  4. The table output must include one column containing the Fibonacci values in order

  Does that capture the requirement? Any changes needed before I proceed to Phase 1?

⏺ Got it. Modern convention starts at 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...

❯ yes, proceed

   /Users/demo/.villagesql/prebuilt/bin/villagesql_config --help 2>&1 | head -20
   Check villagesql_config for SDK location hints

 Do you want to proceed?
   1. Yes
 ❯ 2. Yes, and don't ask again for similar commands in /Users/demo/villagesql

⏺ I've hit a snag with the prebuilt package structure. The VillageSQL server is running, but this appears to be a runtime package without the extension SDK headers needed to build extensions.

  According to the skill workflow, I need to locate the villagesql-extension-sdk directory containing vsql.h and the typed C++ API headers. This prebuilt package doesn't include them.

  Options:

  1. Check if the SDK is distributed separately — I can search the VillageSQL repository for where to obtain the extension SDK headers
  2. Use the vsql-extension-template — The template repository likely includes build configuration that can fetch the SDK automatically

  Let me check the template repository for clues:

⏺ Bash(git clone https://github.com/villagesql/vsql-extension-template /tmp/vsql-template 2>&1 | tail -5 && ls -la /tmp/vsql-template/ | head -20)
  ⎿  Running…

⏺ Based on my research of the VillageSQL Extension SDK, I've found an important feasibility consideration for your fibonacci function.

There was a bit of back and forth here about the SDK, but in the end it all worked out.

Phase 1: Architecture Summary

  SDK Status:
  - Version: 0.0.4 (matches your server)
  - Location: /Users/demo/.villagesql/include/villagesql/
  - Typed C++ API confirmed present (vsql.h, vsql/func_builder.h)
  - Preview APIs available (but stable-only is sufficient for this extension)

  Key Finding — Table-Returning Functions:

  The VillageSQL VEF (Extension Framework) SDK does not support true table-returning functions where a single function call returns multiple rows. The API provides:

  1. Scalar VDFs — return one value per call (INT, REAL, STRING, or custom type)
  2. Aggregate VDFs — accumulate state across multiple rows (like SQL SUM)

  For your fibonacci_sequence(N) requirement, you have three options:
  ┌───────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
  │             Approach              │                                How It Works                                 │                         Trade-offs                          │
  ├───────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ 1. Return JSON string             │ fibonacci_sequence(5) → "[0,1,1,2,3]"                                       │ Single scalar return; user parses JSON in SQL               │
  ├───────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ 2. Return delimited string        │ fibonacci_sequence(5) → "0,1,1,2,3"                                         │ Single scalar return; simple to parse but fragile format    │
  ├───────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ 3. Aggregate function + SQL UNION │ Custom approach: build N queries each calling fibonacci_nth(i) for i=0..N-1 │ Returns table via SQL; requires user to write wrapper query │
  └───────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
  Recommendation: Option 1 (JSON return) is clearest and most maintainable — the function signature would be:

  fibonacci_sequence(5) → STRING JSON "{"fibonacci":[0,1,1,2,3]}"

  Then users can parse in SQL:
  SELECT JSON_UNQUOTE(JSON_EXTRACT(fibonacci_sequence(5), '$.fibonacci[0]')) AS fib;

  User Question: Which approach would you prefer?

  1. Return JSON string (user parses in SQL)
  2. Return delimited string like "0,1,1,2,3"
  3. Create a separate fibonacci_nth(N) scalar function to compute the Nth number (user builds UNION query)
  4. Something else?

  SDK Confirmed:
  - Extension SDK 0.0.4 installed at /Users/demo/.villagesql/include/villagesql/
  - Matches server version 0.0.4
  - Typed C++ API ready; no preview APIs required

Phase 2: Template & Scaffold

...

  Step 1: Create from Template

  Would you like to create the extension as:

  1. GitHub repo under your personal account — I'll create vsql-fibonacci on GitHub and clone it locally
  2. GitHub repo under an organization — specify the org name
  3. Local only — clone the template without creating a GitHub repo

  Which would you prefer?

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
❯ local only

  Function Design:
  ┌────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

  ├────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ Function Name  │ fibonacci_sequence                                           │
  ├────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ Signature      │ fibonacci_sequence(N INT) → STRING                           │

  │ Input          │ N: positive integer (count of fibonacci numbers to generate) │
  ├────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ Output         │ JSON string with structure: {"fibonacci":[f0,f1,...,fN-1]}   │
  ├────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ Example        │ fibonacci_sequence(5) → {"fibonacci":[0,1,1,2,3]}            │
  ├────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ Error Handling │ Return error if N ≤ 0 or N > reasonable limit (e.g., 1000)   │
  └────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
  Rationale:
  - JSON is a standard SQL-parseable format
  - Single scalar return fits VEF's scalar VDF model perfectly
  - Users extract individual values with JSON_EXTRACT() in SQL
  - No custom types needed; avoids complexity

  Revised Acceptance Criteria:

  1. Given input N > 0, fibonacci_sequence(N) returns a JSON string with exactly N fibonacci numbers
  2. The sequence follows the standard definition: F(0)=0, F(1)=1, F(n)=F(n-1)+F(n-2)
  3. The returned JSON has structure {"fibonacci":[values...]}
  4. Function rejects N ≤ 0 with an error
  5. Function rejects N > 1000 with an error (prevent overflow/DoS)

  Does this approach match your requirements? Any changes to the criteria before I proceed to Phase 2?

...

   1 # CTO Quality Review Report

   3 **Date:** 2026-06-02
   4 **Phase:** Phase 4 Review
   5 **Verdict:** PASS (after critical fix applied)
   6
   7 ---
   8
   9 ## Initial Review Findings
  10
  11 The Critic Agent reviewed the extension against the 18-item CTO Checklist. **Initial Verdict: FAIL** due to two related issues:
  12
  13 ### Critical Issues Found:
  14 - **Item #5 (Arithmetic overflow)**: Line 86 in vsql_fibonacci.cc performed Fibonacci addition without overflow detection. When N > 93, uint64_t overflow would occur silently.
  15 - **Item #13 (Undefined behavior)**: Consequence of Item #5; integer overflow is undefined behavior in C++.
  16
  17 ### Corrective Action:
  18 Added overflow detection immediately after Fibonacci computation:
  19 ```cpp
  20 if (fib_val < fib_curr) {  // Overflow detected (sum < either operand)
  21   out.error("Fibonacci sequence exceeds uint64_t limit");
  22   return;
  23 }
  24 ```
  25
  26 This follows the standard C overflow detection pattern: if sum is less than either operand, overflow has occurred.
  27
  28 Added test case for N=100 to verify overflow detection works (test passes with expected error).
  29

  31
  32 ## Final Verification: PASS
  33
  34 All 18 checklist items now pass:
  35
  36 | # | Item | Status | Notes |
  37 |---|------|--------|-------|
  38 | 1 | NULL handling | PASS | Input validation correct; NULL properly set on output |
  39 | 2 | Buffer bounds | PASS | All memcpy, memset operations guarded by check_buffer_space() |
  40 | 3 | Memory safety | PASS | Stack-only allocation; no dynamic memory or leaks |
  41 | 4 | Type safety | PASS | Typed API throughout (IntArg, StringResult); no unsafe casts |
  42 | 5 | Arithmetic overflow | PASS | ✓ FIXED: Overflow detection added at line 87 |
  43 | 6 | Entry point macro | PASS | VEF_GENERATE_ENTRY_POINTS used correctly with fluent builder |
  44 | 7 | Typed API | PASS | All parameters and results use typed wrappers |
  45 | 8 | Error handling | PASS | out.error(), out.set_null(), out.set_length() patterns correct |
  46 | 9 | Buffer lifecycle | PASS | out.buffer() → write → out.set_length() pattern correct |
  47 | 10 | Function signature | PASS | Implementation (IntArg, StringResult) matches registration (INT, STRING) |
  48 | 11 | No hardcoded magic | PASS | All constants defined in constexpr namespace block |
  49 | 12 | No platform-specific code | PASS | Standard C++ and VEF APIs only; no OS-specific code |
  50 | 13 | No undefined behavior | PASS | ✓ FIXED: Overflow check prevents UB; all variables initialized |
  51 | 14 | Error messages actionable | PASS | All messages specific: state constraint violated and valid range |
  52 | 15 | Test vocabulary clean | PASS | No forbidden terms (AI-generated, TODO, hack, etc.) |
  53 | 16 | Result files match tests | PASS | 10 test commands produce 10 result entries (1-to-1) |
  54 | 17 | Error codes correct | PASS | All --error 3200 directives match actual HY000/VDF error responses |
  55 | 18 | Test coverage | PASS | Core paths (N=1,2,5,10,20), edge cases (NULL), error cases (N≤0, N>1000, overflow), all covered |
  56
  57 ---
  58
  59 ## Disposition
  60
  61 **All 18 checklist items: PASS**
  62
  63 The extension meets professional quality standards for release. The two deficiencies identified in the initial review were addressed immediately through targeted code fixes and test additions, with no rework cycles required.
  64
  65 ---
  66
  67 ## Key Strengths
  68
  69 1. **Robust error handling**: Clear, actionable error messages for all failure cases
  70 2. **Memory safety**: Stack-only allocation with proper bounds checking throughout
  71 3. **Clean code structure**: Constants extracted to constexpr namespace; repeated patterns unified via helper functions
  72 4. **Comprehensive test coverage**: Core functionality, edge cases, and all error conditions tested
  73 5. **VEF conformance**: Correct use of typed API, entry point macro, and result lifecycle
  74

  77 ## Hand-off Notes for Next Phases
  78

Phase 5 (UAT) && Phase 6 (Documentation)

  79 - **Phase 5 (UAT)**: Acceptance criteria may need revision re: N=93 overflow boundary. Current criteria state N ≤ 1000, but overflow occurs at N ≈ 93. Tests validate this correctly.
  80 - **Phase 6 (Documentation)**: Document the uint64_t overflow constraint in README Known Limitations section.
  81 - No further CTO-level review needed unless code changes are made outside of simplification fixes.

⏺ I see an issue - Criterion 4 returned 26 numbers instead of an error. Let me verify the code change:

⏺ Read(src/vsql_fibonacci.cc)
  ⎿  Read 10 lines

⏺ Let me check the result file:

⏺ Bash(grep -A2 "fibonacci_sequence(26)" /Users/demo/villagesql/vsql-fibonacci/mysql-test/r/fibonacci_sequence.result)
  ⎿  SELECT fibonacci_sequence(26);
     ERROR HY000: VDF error in function 'fibonacci_sequence': N must not exceed 25
     SELECT fibonacci_sequence(100);

⏺ The result file is correct. Let me reinstall the extension to ensure we're using the updated binary:

⏺ Bash(/Users/demo/.villagesql/prebuilt/bin/mysql -u root -p'aDawC6HvLjjzXm86c1pX' -S /Users/demo/.villagesql/mysql.sock -e "UNINSTALL EXTENSION vsql_fibonacci…)
  ⎿  Running…



⏺ Perfect! Now it correctly rejects N=26. Phase 5 UAT is complete. Let me mark it as done and start Phase 6:

Phase 5 Summary:

  ✓ Criterion 1: N=5 returns 5 Fibonacci numbers
  ✓ Criterion 2: Sequence follows standard definition (verified via N=10)
  ✓ Criterion 3: N≤0 rejected with error
  ✓ Criterion 4: N>25 rejected with error
  ✓ Criterion 5: JSON parseable (confirmed via manual test)
  ✓ Edge cases: N=1, N=2, N=25, N>25, N=100 (overflow) all correct

  Phase 5 complete — entering Phase 6

I found an issue in my own testing, and simply gave the skill the problem and it worked it out, folding this into testing and documentation

Author: Extension Builder 
Date:   Wed Jun 3 13:13:23 2026 -0400

    Add JSON_EXTRACT tests and document binary charset limitation

    - Add tests 6-7: JSON_EXTRACT and JSON_LENGTH with CAST workaround
    - Document issue: binary charset prevents direct JSON function usage
    - Add workaround to limitations: CAST(fibonacci_sequence(...) AS CHAR)
    - Regenerate test results with new JSON function tests
    - Renumber test cases (now 12 total tests)

    The VDF returns binary string; MySQL JSON functions require CHAR charset.
    Solution: CAST result before passing to JSON functions.

    Tests: All 2 test suites pass (install + 12 individual SQL tests).

commit 5fdfb663a322533e371f5cbfb04ffb451aaa9a77
Author: Extension Builder 
Date:   Wed Jun 3 10:34:38 2026 -0400

    Update: Change maximum N from 1000 to 25 for reasonable resource limits

    - Update code: max N constraint changed from 1000 to 25
    - Update error message: 'N must not exceed 25'
    - Update acceptance criteria: Criterion 4 now uses N=26 as rejection test
    - Update limitations: Document max N=25 rationale
    - Regenerate test results with new constraint

    Rationale: While uint64_t supports up to ~93 Fibonacci numbers, a practical
    limit of 25 keeps output manageable and prevents excessive computation.
    Overflow detection remains in place for N > 92 if user ever needs larger
    sequences.

    Tests: All tests pass with new constraint.

commit 978c73d7eff4eb01098746482e9c00b877a19173
Author: Extension Builder 
Date:   Wed Jun 3 10:08:55 2026 -0400

    Fix: Add uint64_t overflow detection for Fibonacci calculation

    - Add overflow check at line 87: if (fib_val < fib_curr) after computing sum
    - Detect addition overflow using standard technique (sum < either operand)
    - Return error with clear message when overflow detected
    - Add test case for N=100 which triggers overflow (>93 exceeds uint64_t)
    - Update acceptance criteria: properly handle all N in [1, 1000] range

    Resolves CTO review findings #5 (Arithmetic overflow) and #13 (Undefined behavior).

    Tests: All tests pass including new overflow detection test.

    Apply code simplification: extract helpers, use constexpr, optimize hot path

    - Extract check_buffer_space() helper to eliminate 4x repeated buffer overflow checks
    - Define error messages and JSON structures as constexpr to remove magic strings
    - Move num_buf[32] allocation outside loop (eliminates per-iteration allocation)
    - Use compile-time JSON prefix/suffix lengths (eliminates strlen calls)
    - Remove unnecessary snprintf validation and cast
    - Remove over-defensive buffer size check

    Agent reviews: 19 findings, 12 applied (63% adoption)
    Rejected: loop unrolling and TOCTOU mitigations (clarity vs micro-opt trade-offs)

    Tests: All 2 tests pass after refactoring
