schema-migration

schema-migration is a skill for Claude Code from saajunaid/caddis-plugin. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,339 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for moving an application's data access code from one database schema to another without losing data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when tables or columns are renamed, combined, split, or changed and the application must be updated to match.
Why use it?
Changing table or column structures can break application queries, mappings, and data-related code.

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

schema-migration 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 17d 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.

Schema Migration Skill

Systematically migrate an application from a legacy database schema to a new schema with zero data loss and full functional parity.

When to Use

  • Tables are being renamed, consolidated, or split
  • Columns are renamed, retyped, or moved between tables
  • The DB team has restructured tables and the app must follow
  • Data previously in file storage has been migrated into database tables
  • Query files, column mappings, or config need updating after a schema change
  • User says "migrate to new tables", "schema changed", or "tables restructured"

Constraints (Read Before Starting)

  1. Read-Only — Never execute DDL or DML (CREATE, ALTER, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) against the database. All analysis is SELECT-only.
  2. No SQL Aliases — Proposed queries must use direct Table.Column notation. Aliases obscure the mapping and make future changes harder to trace.
  3. No Assumptions — Every column mapping must be verified against the actual schema DDL. If a mapping is ambiguous or a source column has no clear target, flag it as a GAP rather than guessing.
  4. Scratchpad Protocol — If context becomes large, save intermediate findings to .caddis/plans/temp_migration_scratchpad.md to preserve state across reasoning steps.

Phase 1: Schema Forensics

Objective

Build a complete picture of old and new schemas. Produce the Schema Manifest — the single source of truth for the migration.

Actions

  1. Collect Legacy Schema DDL

    • Extract CREATE TABLE statements for all legacy tables (from schema files, INFORMATION_SCHEMA, or DDL scripts)
    • Note all columns, data types, nullability, defaults, and foreign keys
    • Document the table-to-variable mapping (e.g., .env entries, config files)
  2. Collect Target Schema DDL

    • Extract CREATE TABLE statements for all new/consolidated tables
    • Note structural differences: merged tables, renamed columns, new columns, removed columns, type 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.
