db-migration-review

db-migration-review is a skill for Cursor from codeready-toolchain/tarsy. It costs 68 tokens per session (917 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review step for database migration files generated by Atlas after changes to an Ent database schema. Atlas compares the schema with a development database, but schema differences it cannot represent may produce unrelated SQL operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after running `make migrate-create` to inspect the `.up.sql` file and remove unrelated schema-drift operations, especially unsafe partial-index changes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent an automatically generated migration from removing manually managed database objects or recreating indexes unnecessarily. The review keeps the migration focused on the intended schema change.

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

db-migration-review 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 9d 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.

DB Migration Review

When to Apply

After every make migrate-create run, review the generated .up.sql file before committing. Atlas diffs the Ent schema against a dev database and frequently emits unrelated operations due to schema drift it cannot model.

Known Atlas Drift Patterns

1. Dropping manually-managed partial indexes

Atlas cannot express WHERE clauses in index definitions. Several indexes are created manually in migrations and documented in Ent schema comments. Atlas sees them in the database but not in the Ent schema, so it generates DROP INDEX statements.

Known partial indexes (must never be dropped):

Index Table Created in
agentexecution_stage_id_agent_index_top_level agent_executions 20260225235224_add_orchestrator_sub_agent_fields.up.sql
agentexecution_parent_execution_id_agent_index_sub_agent agent_executions 20260225235224_add_orchestrator_sub_agent_fields.up.sql

These enforce sub-agent ordering uniqueness with WHERE parent_execution_id IS NULL / IS NOT NULL clauses. The Ent schema at ent/schema/agentexecution.go documents this explicitly.

Action: Remove any DROP INDEX targeting these indexes.

2. No-op index drop + recreate

Atlas sometimes re-emits a DROP INDEX + CREATE INDEX pair for indexes that already exist with identical definitions. This commonly affects partial unique indexes like sessionscore_session_id.

How to identify: The CREATE INDEX statement after the DROP is identical to what already exists in a prior migration.

Action: Remove the entire drop + recreate pair.

3. Unrelated table modifications

Occasionally Atlas includes ALTER TABLE statements for tables unrelated to the migration's purpose (e.g., adding default values or constraints that were pending in the schema diff).

Action: If the operation is clearly unrelated to the migration's named purpose, remove it. If uncertain, investigate the Ent schema change that caused it.
