Can I use this for data not stored in a database?

Absolutely. The skill covers embedded schemas which are ideal for in-memory data validation, API request casting, and managing semi-structured JSON data.

Is this skill compatible with the Phoenix Framework?

Yes, these patterns are the standard way to handle data persistence and modeling in any Elixir project using Ecto, including all Phoenix web applications.

Does it support many-to-many relationships?

Yes, it includes patterns for many-to-many associations using both simple join tables and dedicated join schemas with extra fields like roles or timestamps.

What is the Ecto Schema Patterns skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that provides patterns and domain-specific guidance for defining Ecto schemas, associations, and embedded data in Elixir applications.

How does it handle custom primary keys?

The skill provides clear examples of how to override default behaviors to define custom primary keys, composite primary keys, or disable autogeneration.

データベース管理

Defines and manages robust data structures, associations, and embedded schemas for Elixir applications using Ecto.

This skill provides comprehensive patterns and best practices for modeling domain data within Elixir applications using the Ecto library. It streamlines the creation of database-backed schemas, complex associations like one-to-many and many-to-many, and flexible embedded schemas for handling unstructured data. By offering standardized templates for field types, virtual fields, and custom changeset logic, it enables developers to build maintainable, type-safe data layers that integrate seamlessly with PostgreSQL and other supported databases while adhering to professional software development principles.
