record-gotchas

record-gotchas is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from prisma/orm. It costs 220 tokens per session (5,361 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 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.

Record a gotcha

A gotcha is friction that a consumer of Prisma 8, 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.
