# PlanetScale skill

PlanetScale brought Vitess-grade MySQL branching and non-blocking schema changes to startups. The deploy-request workflow is the human metaphor. The CLI and API are excellent, which keeps the agent score high even as the company has shifted packaging over time. We describe the public branching-database product, not every SKU rename. Twin Score on this directory is 78 for humans and 90 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). PlanetScale is sold by PlanetScale, founded 2018, headquartered in San Francisco, USA. Pricing in public materials: Hobby through scalable paid plans; Vitess-powered clustering historically, with Postgres offerings evolving. Machine capabilities we record: API excellent, MCP none, CLI excellent, docs excellent, auth Service tokens. This page is editorial, not a star rating scraped from users.
