Can this skill help with data migrations?

While it focuses on schema changes, it provides patterns for separating data migrations into rake tasks to keep your migration history clean and safe.

How does this skill handle migration reversibility?

It identifies auto-reversible operations within the 'change' method and provides templates for 'up/down' or 'reversible' blocks for complex SQL logic.

Does it support PostgreSQL-specific migration features?

Yes, it includes documentation for native PostgreSQL types like jsonb, uuid, and techniques like concurrent index creation to prevent table locking.

What Rails versions is this skill compatible with?

The guidance follows modern Rails standards (Rails 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x), including support for the latest ActiveRecord features and syntax.
