Polaris: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/database-migrations/SKILL.md

database-migrations is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sponge-b0b/Polaris. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,138 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for creating and checking PostgreSQL database schema changes with SQLAlchemy and Alembic. A migration is a recorded change that moves a database structure from one version to another.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps generate, apply, downgrade, and validate migrations, check affected PostgreSQL schemas, and verify database changes with targeted tests.
Why use it?
It keeps the database structure, application models, and migration history aligned while accounting for different rules before and after version 1.0.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is sponge-b0b/Polaris's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Polaris itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Polaris configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is uv run --locked --env-file .env python scripts/reset_local_postgres_schema.py --confirm-destroy-local-db.

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

database-migrations 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 today.

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.

Database Migrations

Objective

Keep PostgreSQL schema, SQLAlchemy models, and Alembic history correct for the repository's current release lifecycle.

Before 1.0, schema and migration correctness outrank existing data. After 1.0, migration history and persisted data must be preserved.

A valid downgrade() proves schema reversibility. It does not imply destroyed data can be recovered.

Pre-flight

Before modifying database-affecting code:

  1. identify the authoritative SQLAlchemy models and persistence contracts;
  2. confirm schema evolution uses Alembic rather than ad hoc runtime DDL;
  3. read [project].version from pyproject.toml;
  4. if the Living Entity Wiki exists, invoke $wiki-sync;
  5. halt on blocking architecture findings such as [source-conflict].

[project].version is authoritative for migration lifecycle. Git tags are corroborating only.

Before any pytest invocation, follow the mandatory test-service preflight in AGENTS.md and docs/process/testing-guide.md. Determine the selected scope's complete external prerequisites and verify them before pytest starts. Missing prerequisites leave required verification unresolved.

For local PostgreSQL-backed work, .env is the canonical local environment input. Run database preflights, migrations, database-backed pytest, and Python database probes through uv run --locked --env-file .env .... Do not manually source .env merely to populate the current shell, and never use bare python for a database preflight; use uv run --locked --env-file .env python ... so project dependencies and database configuration are established by the same command.

CI must provide its database environment explicitly at the job level. CI does not depend on a developer .env file.

PostgreSQL URL Roles

POLARIS_DATABASE_URL is the canonical application/runtime and ordinary Alembic migration target.

POLARIS_TEST_DATABASE_URL is an explicit PostgreSQL test target and live-test opt-in. It does not imply that a second physical database must exist. Tests must never implicitly fall back from POLARIS_TEST_DATABASE_URL to POLARIS_DATABASE_URL when the test target is absent.

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.

database-migrations is a skill published in the GitHub repository sponge-b0b/Polaris (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,138 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 2026-08-31.
