database-migration

database-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from h4vzz/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (2,112 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of database-migration, MIT.

A workflow for managing versioned changes to a database's structure, such as adding tables, columns, or constraints. It covers migration tools including Alembic, Prisma Migrate, Flyway, and Knex.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan, create, run, and roll back database migrations, transform existing data, and prepare schema changes for continuous delivery.
Why use it?
It helps teams apply database changes in a controlled way and recover through rollback scripts when needed. It also addresses data backfills and changes that must be deployed in stages.

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-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 10d 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.

Database Migration

This skill enables an AI agent to manage versioned database schema changes through migration frameworks. The agent creates forward and rollback migration scripts, handles data backfills during schema changes, ensures zero-downtime deployments with safe migration patterns, and integrates migration workflows into CI/CD pipelines. It supports major tools including Alembic (Python/SQLAlchemy), Prisma Migrate (TypeScript/Node), Flyway (Java/SQL), and Knex (JavaScript).

Workflow

  1. Assess the schema change: Analyze the requested change — adding columns, creating tables, modifying constraints, renaming fields, or transforming data. Classify the change as backward-compatible (additive) or breaking (destructive) to determine the deployment strategy. Breaking changes require a multi-phase migration approach.

  2. Select the migration tool: Choose the appropriate migration framework based on the project's tech stack. Use Alembic for Python/SQLAlchemy projects, Prisma Migrate for TypeScript/Prisma projects, Flyway for Java or SQL-first workflows, and Knex for Node.js/Express projects. Ensure the tool is initialized and connected to the target database.

  3. Generate the migration script: Auto-generate a migration from schema diffs where supported (Alembic autogenerate, Prisma migrate dev), then review and edit the generated script. Add explicit rollback (downgrade) logic. For data backfills, include the data transformation within the migration to keep schema and data changes atomic.

  4. Test in a staging environment: Apply the migration against a staging database that mirrors production. Verify that the migration applies cleanly, that existing queries still work, and that the rollback restores the previous state. Run the application's test suite against the migrated schema.

  5. Deploy with zero-downtime strategy: For production, use expand-and-contract migrations. Phase 1: add new columns/tables (expand) without removing old ones. Phase 2: deploy application code that writes to both old and new structures. Phase 3: backfill data. Phase 4: deploy code using only new structures. Phase 5: remove old columns/tables (contract). This ensures no downtime and safe rollback at each phase.
