ai-persistence/build-prisma-adapter

A guide for adding TanStack AI chat persistence to an application that already uses Prisma. Prisma is a tool that maps application data to database tables and provides a database client.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add the required chat-persistence models, create the app's migration, and write a persistence adapter connected to the existing PrismaClient.
Why use it?
It avoids creating a separate database setup or client and fits the chat storage into the app's existing Prisma schema and migration process. It also accounts for the data formats required by the persistence stores.

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

ai-persistence/build-prisma-adapter 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 519 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prisma Chat Persistence

The deliverable is one file in the appsrc/lib/chat-persistence.ts — exporting a ChatPersistence built from the app's existing PrismaClient. Plus four models added to the app's existing schema.prisma and a migration created with the app's own prisma migrate.

Do not create a package, a second client, a datasource block, a generator, or a hand-written SQL migration. The app has those.

Read the Store Reference (docs/persistence/store-reference.md) for the store contracts and invariants, and ai-persistence/stores for the shape rules. Every store below mirrors the reference in-memory backend in @tanstack/ai-persistence (memory.ts); the shared conformance testkit is the proof.

1. Read the app before writing anything

Find Where to look What it decides
Schema location prisma/schema.prisma, or a multi-file prisma/schema/ dir Append to the existing file, or add one new .prisma file
Provider the datasource block Whether Json is available; nothing else changes
Client singleton src/lib/prisma.ts, src/db.ts, globalThis dev cache What chat-persistence.ts imports — never new PrismaClient()
Generated client the generator client block (output, prisma-client-js vs prisma-client) Where ChatRun/ChatInterrupt row types come from
Existing model names the schema Whether Message/Run are taken — prefix if so
Migration flow prisma/migrations/, or db push in scripts prisma migrate dev vs prisma db push

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.
