migration-risk-analyzer

migration-risk-analyzer is a skill for Claude Code from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,106 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool for database migration scripts, which change a database’s structure or data. It examines changes for locks, downtime, rollback options, and deployment risk in PostgreSQL or MySQL.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review SQL or migration files from tools such as Alembic, Django, or Flyway, estimate effects on large tables, plan rollbacks, and create checks before and after deployment.
Why use it?
It helps identify changes that could block database access, cause downtime, or be difficult to undo before they reach production.

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

migration-risk-analyzer 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 7d 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.

Migration Risk Analyzer

Systematic risk assessment for database migrations: parse DDL/DML operations, classify lock types and durations, estimate downtime, design rollback strategies, identify irreversible changes, and produce deployment recommendations with pre/post validation queries.

Reference Files

File Contents Load When
references/lock-matrix.md Operation-to-lock-type mapping for PostgreSQL, MySQL Always
references/safe-patterns.md Online DDL patterns, zero-downtime migration techniques Risk mitigation needed
references/rollback-templates.md Rollback scripts for common DDL operations Rollback strategy requested
references/validation-queries.md Pre/post migration validation SQL templates Always

Prerequisites

  • The migration SQL or migration file (Alembic, Django, Flyway, etc.)
  • Target database engine (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
  • Approximate table sizes for affected tables (for duration estimation)

Workflow

Phase 1: Parse Migration

Extract all operations from the migration script:

  1. DDL operations — CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE (ADD/DROP/MODIFY COLUMN, ADD/DROP INDEX), DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE
  2. DML operations — UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE on existing data
  3. Index operations — CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX, REINDEX
  4. Constraint operations — ADD/DROP FOREIGN KEY, ADD/DROP CHECK, ADD/DROP NOT NULL

Phase 2: Assess Lock Risk

For each operation, determine the lock type and impact:

Lock Level Impact Examples
No lock Zero impact CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY (PG)
Share lock Blocks writes, allows reads CREATE INDEX (non-concurrent)
Exclusive lock Blocks all access ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN (MySQL < 8.0), DROP TABLE
Row-level lock Blocks affected rows only UPDATE with WHERE clause

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.

migration-risk-analyzer is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mathews-Tom/armory (316 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 2,106 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
