prisma-database-setup

A setup guide for connecting Prisma ORM to databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB. It covers provider settings, connection strings, environment variables, client generation, and database-specific setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a Prisma project, changing database providers, configuring credentials, generating Prisma Client, or troubleshooting database connections.
Why use it?
It helps you configure a new database or diagnose connection problems without having to piece together provider-specific requirements yourself.

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

prisma-database-setup 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.

Prisma Database Setup

Comprehensive guides for configuring Prisma ORM with various database providers.

When to Apply

Reference this skill when:

  • Initializing a new Prisma project
  • Switching database providers
  • Configuring connection strings and environment variables
  • Troubleshooting database connection issues
  • Setting up database-specific features
  • Generating and instantiating Prisma Client

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Provider Guides CRITICAL provider names
2 Prisma Postgres HIGH prisma-postgres
3 Client Setup CRITICAL prisma-client-setup

System Prerequisites

  • Node.js 20.19.0+
  • TypeScript 5.4.0+

Bun Runtime

If you're using Bun, run Prisma CLI commands with bunx --bun prisma ... so Prisma uses the Bun runtime instead of falling back to Node.js.

Supported Databases

Database Provider String Notes
PostgreSQL postgresql Default, full feature support
MySQL mysql Widespread support, some JSON diffs
SQLite sqlite Local file-based, no enum/scalar lists
MongoDB mongodb Mongo-specific workflow; do not apply SQL driver-adapter guidance
SQL Server sqlserver Microsoft ecosystem
CockroachDB cockroachdb Distributed SQL, Postgres-compatible
Prisma Postgres postgresql Managed serverless database

Configuration Files

Your configuration shape depends on the provider and Prisma major version:

  1. All providers use prisma/schema.prisma.
  2. Prisma 7 SQL setups typically use prisma.config.ts for datasource URLs.
  3. MongoDB projects should stay on Prisma 6.x, keep url = env("DATABASE_URL") in the schema, and continue using the classic MongoDB setup.

Driver Adapters

The standard SQL workflow uses a driver adapter. Choose the adapter and driver for your database and pass the adapter to PrismaClient.

What ships with it

8 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.
