cratis-arc-ef-core-migration

cratis-arc-ef-core-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/AI. It costs 93 tokens per session (2,791 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for changing the database schema in a Cratis Arc application using Entity Framework Core, a .NET library for mapping code to database tables. It explains Arc's database helpers and how to create and apply standard EF Core migrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for adding or changing tables and columns, storing JSON, creating migrations, and making a database read model available to a command.
Why use it?
It clarifies which database features Arc supplies and which migration work must be done with normal Entity Framework Core tools.

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

cratis-arc-ef-core-migration 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 3d 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.

Change an EF Core schema in an Arc application

Arc adds three things to Entity Framework Core: DbContext base types that apply its conversions, cross-database column helpers for migrations, and a resolver that makes an EF Core read model injectable into a command by the command's key. Everything else is ordinary EF Core.

Verified product sources

Package Purpose
Cratis.Arc.EntityFrameworkCore BaseDbContext, ReadOnlyDbContext, WithEntityFrameworkCore, column helpers, EntityFrameworkReadModelForCommandResolver
Cratis.Arc.Core Cratis.Arc.Queries.ModelBound.ReadModelAttribute, ICanResolveReadModelForCommand
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore EF Core itself, including all migration tooling

Verify provider-specific migration behavior against the configured provider and the installed Arc version.

⚠️ Arc ships no migration tooling of its own. There is no design-time DbContext factory, no migration runner, no table-name constant convention, and nothing that reads or writes __EFMigrationsHistory anywhere in Arc. Migrations are created and applied with the standard EF Core tooling. Guidance describing an ApplyAllMigrations runner, a WellKnownTables class, or a mandatory Database/Core/Infrastructure project split is describing one application's local convention, not Arc.

Pick the DbContext base type

Base Use for
ReadOnlyDbContext Read models and projections — the vast majority
BaseDbContext A context that genuinely owns writable state

Both take DbContextOptions through a primary constructor; neither has a parameterless constructor, so the derived context must pass options through:

public class <Feature>DbContext(DbContextOptions<<Feature>DbContext> options)
    : ReadOnlyDbContext(options)
{
    public DbSet<<ReadModel>> <ReadModels> => Set<<ReadModel>>();
}

BaseDbContext.OnModelCreating applies Arc's JSON, ConceptAs<T> and Guid conversions. Override OnModelCreating only after calling base — and do not override OnConfiguring.

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.
