record-gotchas

record-gotchas is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from prisma/orm. It costs 219 tokens per session (5,353 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for recording surprising problems and workarounds encountered while using Prisma Next, Prisma Compute, or Prisma Postgres. A gotcha is an unexpected behavior that affects people using a product.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document failures, undocumented behavior, workarounds, and confusing interactions with those Prisma products, then link them to follow-up work.
Why use it?
It prevents these user-facing rough edges from being forgotten and connects a written record with a tracked triage ticket.

About the project

Prisma ORM is a Node.js and TypeScript database toolkit that lets applications work with databases through a programming interface instead of writing every query directly in SQL. Developers use it with databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB, and CockroachDB. The catalogue add-ons provide agent rules, skills, hooks, agents, and other workflows for using Prisma.

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 C, and why

record-gotchas scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 365 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Record a gotcha

A gotcha is friction that a consumer of Prisma Next, Prisma Compute, or Prisma Postgres would feel — something an external user of those products would also experience: a surprising failure mode, an undocumented behaviour, a workaround you wrote, a mental model mismatch with the CLI / runtime / docs. The signal is the consumer's perspective, not the project context — you can hit a gotcha while writing an extension, working in an example app, reproducing a customer report, running an integration test against the public surface, or building anything that consumes the product from the outside.

A gotcha is not a bug in code your team maintains. If you own the surface and you can fix it, that's a normal product bug, filed in the regular product backlog — not a gotcha.

This skill is the canonical workflow for capturing gotchas. When the trigger fires:

  1. Determine whether you're in a product-team repo or somewhere else — the escalation mode depends on it (see § Escalation mode).
  2. Write a short entry to the matching gotchas log (gotchas.md or a per-product file).
  3. File a Triage-state ticket in the matching *-gotchas Linear project.
  4. Cross-link the two so future readers can navigate either way.

When in doubt about whether something is gotcha-worthy, capture it. The cost of a near-duplicate entry is trivial; the cost of losing the learning is permanent.

This skill is not optional for qualifying gotchas. If you wrote a workaround, consulted source code, or hit a behaviour that didn't match the docs while consuming the product, run this skill before the conversation ends.


Consuming vs. maintaining — the boundary

The trigger depends on the role the operator is wearing in the moment, not on the repo they're sitting in.

You're doing… Role Trigger fires?
Writing a new extension that uses PN's authoring API Consuming Yes
Working in an example app under examples/ and hitting a CLI / runtime rough edge Consuming Yes
Reproducing a customer's bug report against the public surface Consuming Yes
Running an integration test that exercises the public CLI / runtime Consuming Yes
Building an internal demo with PN / Compute / PPg Consuming Yes
Fixing a bug in PN core Maintaining No — file a normal bug
Adding a feature to PN's runtime Maintaining No

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.

record-gotchas is a skill published in the GitHub repository prisma/orm (47,601 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 219 tokens to every session and 5,353 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
