Automates the process of creating, testing, and verifying database migrations within the Ghost CMS ecosystem.
This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for managing Ghost's MySQL database schema, guiding developers through the specific requirements of the Ghost core architecture. It automates the generation of migration files using the 'slimer' utility, ensures schema.js remains synchronized with database changes, and provides standardized commands for testing migrations with knex-migrator. By following this structured approach, developers can safely add tables, columns, or settings while maintaining data integrity and passing necessary unit tests.
