What is the Medusa DB Migration Generator?

It is a Claude Code skill that automates the creation of database migration files for Medusa modules using the 'npx medusa db:generate' command.

Can I use this for custom Medusa modules?

Yes, it is designed to work with both standard Medusa core modules and any custom modules you have created.

What information does Claude provide after running the skill?

Claude will report the module name used, the location of the generated migration files, any warnings or errors encountered, and instructions on how to migrate the database.

Do I need to provide a specific module name?

Yes, you must provide the name of the module (e.g., 'brand' or 'custom-module') for which you want to generate migrations.

Does this skill automatically apply the migrations?

No, this skill only generates the migration files. You will need to run a separate command, such as 'npx medusa db:migrate', to apply the changes to your database.
