create-migration

create-migration is a skill for Cursor from girijashankarj/cursor-handbook. It costs 34 tokens per session (321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating one database migration for a schema change. It follows project naming, compatibility, rollback, and data-safety rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add tables, columns, indexes, or constraints and to check that the change can be applied and reversed cleanly.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsafe changes such as unplanned data deletion, missing defaults, or rollback scripts that do not reverse the original 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

create-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.

What it actually says

Skill: Create migration

Trigger

When the user asks to add a migration, create a migration for a schema change, or "migrate the DB."

Steps

  1. Clarify — Confirm the change (new table, new column, index, constraint); ensure backward compatible where possible.
  2. Naming — Use format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_descriptive_action.sql (or project equivalent).
  3. UP — Write the forward migration (ADD COLUMN with default, CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY where supported).
  4. DOWN — Write the rollback; test that DOWN reverts UP cleanly.
  5. Review — No raw DELETE; use soft delete if needed; parameterized only; add index for new FK/filters.

If a step fails

Step Failure Recovery
Step 4 DOWN does not revert UP cleanly Fix DOWN to match UP; test both directions; document manual steps if schema change is irreversible
Step 5 Review finds unsafe patterns Rewrite migration; no raw DELETE; use soft delete; add defaults for new columns

Rules

  • Follow .cursor/rules/database/migration-rules.mdc and schema-design rules.
  • Every table must have id, created_at, updated_at, and soft-delete column per project config.

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.
