agent-virtual-office: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/database-design/SKILL.md

database-design is a skill for 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.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is KbWen/agent-virtual-office's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on agent-virtual-office itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-virtual-office configures →

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 1mo 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.
