database-migrations

A guide for changing the structure or data of production databases safely. Database migrations are controlled changes such as adding a table, renaming a column, or updating existing records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or altering tables, columns, indexes, or records, setting up migration tooling, or planning changes without downtime.
Why use it?
It helps identify affected code, reduce service disruption, and plan reversible changes across common databases and data-access 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

database-migrations 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 2d 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.

/supergraph:database-migrations

Safe, reversible database schema changes for production systems.

Announce: "🗄️ /supergraph:database-migrations — checking blast radius and migration safety..."

When to Activate

  • Creating or altering database tables
  • Adding/removing columns or indexes
  • Running data migrations (backfill, transform)
  • Planning zero-downtime schema changes
  • Setting up migration tooling for a new project

Steps

1. Check blast radius (MANDATORY before writing any migration)

Use CBM_PROJECT: search_graph schema/model symbols, trace_path inbound and data-flow, then validated dependencies, hubs, and test-gaps recipes. Schema changes to hub tables (e.g. users, orders) ripple through repositories, queries, services. If blast radius > 20 files → STOP and discuss with user.

Serena symbol-level impact (optional):

mcp__serena__find_referencing_symbols(symbol=<column_or_model_name>)

Finds ORM field references that graph tools see only at file level — e.g. a Prisma field rename that query_graph sees as "file touched" but Serena sees as "12 usages in service layer". Skip if Serena unavailable.

2. Choose migration pattern

Select the appropriate pattern from the sections below (PostgreSQL, Prisma, Drizzle, etc.) based on detected project type from .supergraph-env.

3. Write migration

Follow Migration Safety Checklist before writing SQL/ORM migration code.

4. Verify flows

After migration written: Use trace_path(project=CBM_PROJECT, mode="data_flow") and the dependencies recipe. Empty results are unavailable evidence requiring Serena/filesystem fallback, not invented flows. All data flows still intact? Application code updated to match schema?

5. Report

✅ /supergraph:database-migrations
- Pattern: [expand-contract | add-column | add-index | data-migration | ...]
- Blast radius: N files | Hub tables: [list/none]
- Safety checklist: PASS | BLOCKED (list issues)
- Next: /supergraph:tdd → /supergraph:fix → /supergraph:verify

Changes

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.

database-migrations is a skill published in the GitHub repository datit309/supergraph (21 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,089 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
