How does the skill handle zero-downtime migrations?

It follows specific patterns like adding nullable columns first, backfilling data, and using multi-step renames to ensure the database remains available during schema updates.

Are rollbacks included in the generated migrations?

Yes, one of the universal rules of this skill is that every migration must be reversible with both 'up' and 'down' operations provided.

Which database tools and ORMs are supported?

This skill supports a wide range of tools including SQL, Prisma, TypeORM, Flyway, and Alembic, and can automatically detect which one your project is using.

Does this skill work with production databases?

While it generates production-ready code, it includes built-in checklists reminding users to test on development clones and take backups before applying changes to production.

Database Management

Automates the creation and management of safe, reversible, and zero-downtime database schema migrations across multiple ORMs and SQL environments.

The Database Migrations skill provides a robust framework for handling schema evolution with a focus on production safety and data integrity. It enforces critical best practices such as mandatory reversible scripts (up/down), data preservation strategies, and specialized zero-downtime patterns for high-traffic tables. By supporting a wide array of tools including Prisma, Alembic, Flyway, and raw SQL, it allows Claude to intelligently detect your environment and generate production-grade migration code that avoids table locks and minimizes risk.
