migrate-db

migrate-db is a skill for Claude Code from ao92265/claude-code-playbook. It costs 66 tokens per session (660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for applying database schema changes safely. It checks the target environment, reviews risky changes, verifies backups, supports a dry run when available, and prepares rollback steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute pending schema migrations in development, staging, or production. It is not for writing queries, improving query speed, or designing a new schema.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing data or disrupting an application when changing tables or columns. It also makes the migration steps and required confirmations explicit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

migrate-db scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Safe Database Migration

Execute database schema migrations with safety checks at every step.

Steps

  1. Pre-flight checks:

    • Verify database connection: test credentials and connectivity
    • Confirm target database and environment (dev/staging/prod)
    • Check for pending migrations: list unapplied migrations
    • Verify no other migrations are currently running
    • ASK the user to confirm the target environment before proceeding
  2. Review the migration:

    • Read the migration file(s) to understand what changes will be made
    • Identify destructive operations: DROP TABLE, DROP COLUMN, ALTER TYPE
    • Flag any operations that will lock tables for extended periods
    • Check for data migrations vs. schema-only changes
    • Estimate impact: how many rows affected, expected duration
  3. Backup verification:

    • Confirm a recent backup exists (ask the user)
    • For production: require explicit confirmation that backup was taken within the last hour
    • For dev/staging: note that backup is recommended but not blocking
    • Record the current schema state: pg_dump --schema-only or equivalent
  4. Dry run (if supported):

    • Run migration with --dry-run or --pretend flag if available
    • For SQL migrations: wrap in a transaction and ROLLBACK
    • Review the dry-run output for unexpected changes
    • Confirm output matches expected behavior
  5. Execute the migration:

    • Run the migration command
    • Monitor output for errors
    • If migration fails partway: DO NOT retry automatically — report the state and ask the user
  6. Post-migration verification:

    • Run schema diff to confirm changes match expectations
    • Execute smoke test queries to verify data integrity
    • Check that the application can connect and basic operations work
    • Run the application's test suite against the migrated database
  7. Document the rollback plan:

    • Write the exact commands needed to reverse the migration
    • If migration is irreversible (data deletion), document what was lost
    • Save rollback steps to a file for reference

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
