pg-migration

pg-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from johnqtcg/awesome-skills. It costs 135 tokens per session (6,428 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A safety review and planning tool for PostgreSQL database schema changes. A schema describes tables, columns, indexes, constraints, and access rules; migrations are the changes applied to it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or plan commands such as altering tables, changing columns, adding constraints, creating indexes, backfilling data, partitioning tables, or changing row-level security policies.
Why use it?
It helps reveal locking, data-loss, downtime, and large-table risks before database changes reach production.

    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.

    Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.

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

pg-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 13 executable files (scripts/lint_migration.py, scripts/mutation_sweep.py, scripts/pg_server_harness.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

§1 Scope

In scope — schema migration safety for PostgreSQL 14–18 (the community-supported majors as of 2026-08; 12 and 13 are EOL, 19 is unreleased):

  • ALTER TABLE (add/drop/modify column, add/drop constraint, rename)
  • CREATE / DROP INDEX (including CONCURRENTLY)
  • Constraint management (FK, CHECK, UNIQUE, NOT NULL with NOT VALID pattern)
  • Data backfill and transformation migrations
  • Table restructuring (partitioning, splitting, merging)
  • RLS policy additions and modifications
  • Extension management (CREATE/ALTER EXTENSION)
  • Migration file review (Flyway, golang-migrate, Alembic, raw SQL)
  • Rollback planning leveraging PostgreSQL's transactional DDL

Out of scope — delegate to dedicated skills:

  • Query optimization, connection pooling, vacuum tuning → postgresql-best-practise
  • Application code changes → go-code-reviewer or language-specific reviewer
  • Security hardening, privilege management → security-review

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.

pg-migration is a skill published in the GitHub repository johnqtcg/awesome-skills (30 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 135 tokens to every session and 6,428 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
