database-migration

database-migration is a skill for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 90 tokens per session (417 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to changing production database structures safely, including versioned migrations, staged cutovers, and rollback plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan expand-and-contract changes, blue-green database switches, dual writes, Flyway migration files, undo scripts, and validation checks.
Why use it?
It reduces downtime and limits the risk of losing data or leaving an application incompatible with its database during a release.

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-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 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.

What it actually says

Database Migration

Zero-downtime schema migration, versioning, and rollback for production databases.

Reference Files

File Contents
references/zero-downtime-patterns.md Expand-contract phases, blue-green cutover, rollback strategies
references/schema-versioning.md Flyway structure, migration format, undo scripts, CI/CD
references/operations-checklist.md Pre-migration checklist, monitoring metrics, quick-start steps
references/entra-sql-auth.md Entra-only auth, managed identity connection strings, common errors

Key Patterns

Pattern Rule
Expand-contract Add column → migrate data → drop old column across 3 separate deploys
Blue-green Two identical DBs; switch traffic after 24–48 h; keep Blue ≥30 days
Dual-write Write to both DBs; read from primary; zero data loss rollback
Flyway undo U{version}__rollback.sql paired with every V{version}__migrate.sql
Validate first Run flyway validate in CI before every flyway migrate
Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
