Why does it remove 'force' or 'id' parameters from createTable?

This skill fixes a known CFWheels CLI bug where string booleans like 'true' cause silent failures; omitting these parameters allows the framework to use its reliable default settings instead.

How does it handle migration failures?

Generated migrations include a structured try/catch block wrapped in a transaction, ensuring that database changes are rolled back automatically if an error occurs during execution.

Does it support cross-database compatibility?

Yes, it prioritizes database-agnostic syntax and CFML date functions to ensure migrations work across different database engines like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server.

Where does this skill save migration files?

All migrations are automatically saved to app/migrator/migrations/, which is the standard directory required by the CFWheels framework.
