database-design

database-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KbWen/agent-virtual-office. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,134 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of database-design, MIT.

Guidance for designing database tables, relationships, and migrations when an application's stored data structure changes. A migration is a controlled change to that database structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing tables and columns, redesigning a schema, creating migrations, or changing how data is accessed.
Why use it?
It helps keep schemas consistent and data relationships safe as the application evolves.

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-design 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Database Design

When to Apply

  • Classification: feature (if new tables/columns), architecture-change (schema redesign), hotfix (data-related bug)
  • Phase: /plan (schema design), /implement (migration creation), /review (schema review), /test (data integrity)
  • Trigger: Task involves creating tables, modifying schema, writing migrations, or changing data access patterns

Conventions

Customize after /app-init: Replace these generic conventions with your project's ADR and ORM-specific patterns.

Table Design

  • Every table MUST have: id (primary key), created_at, updated_at
  • Use UUIDs or auto-increment IDs consistently (per ADR decision)
  • Soft delete: add deleted_at column if ADR specifies soft delete
  • Table names: plural, snake_case (e.g., users, order_items)
  • Column names: snake_case (e.g., first_name, is_active)

Relationship Patterns

Relationship Implementation Example
One-to-Many Foreign key on "many" side orders.user_id → users.id
Many-to-Many Junction table user_roles (user_id, role_id)
One-to-One Foreign key + unique constraint user_profiles.user_id (UNIQUE) → users.id
Self-referencing Foreign key to same table categories.parent_id → categories.id

Index Strategy

  • Every foreign key column MUST have an index
  • Columns used in WHERE clauses frequently → add index
  • Composite indexes: put the most selective column first
  • Unique constraints for business uniqueness rules (email, username, etc.)
  • DO NOT over-index: every index slows writes

Migration Rules

  • One migration per logical change (don't mix table creation with data backfill)
  • Migrations MUST be reversible: every up must have a corresponding down
  • Never modify a shipped migration: create a new migration instead
  • Data migrations separate from schema migrations: schema first, data second
  • Test rollback: after writing migration, verify down works cleanly

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.
