Troubleshoot and resolve common issues with the ClickHouse Node.js client (@clickhouse/client). Use this skill whenever a user reports errors, unexpected behavior, or configuration questions involving the Node.js client specifically — including socket hang-up errors, Keep-Alive problems, stream handling issues, data type mismatches, read-only user restrictions, proxy/TLS setup problems, or long-running query timeouts. Trigger even when the user hasn't precisely named the issue; vague symptoms like "my inserts keep failing" or "connection drops randomly" in a Node.js context are strong signals to use this skill. Do NOT use for browser/Web client issues.
The same skill content is published under more than one repo. The install counts are split across them; any of these commands works.

⚠️ Node.js runtime only. This skill covers the
@clickhouse/clientpackage running in a Node.js runtime exclusively — including Next.js Node runtime API routes, React Server Components, Server Actions, and standard Node.js processes. Do not apply this skill to browser client components, Web Workers, Next.js Edge runtime, Cloudflare Workers, or any usage of@clickhouse/client-web. For browser/edge environments, the correct package is@clickhouse/client-web.
