mav-bp-database-management

mav-bp-database-management is a skill for Claude Code from thermiteau/maverick. It costs 47 tokens per session (712 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for managing application databases, including schema migrations, backups, data lifecycle, indexes, and connection pooling. A migration is a versioned change to a database structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing, implementing, or reviewing database work. It covers forward-only production changes, reversible migrations, separate environments, synthetic seed data, and evidence-based indexing.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of unsafe schema changes, mixing environments, exposing production data, or creating indexes that are not needed. It also makes database changes traceable and repeatable.

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

mav-bp-database-management 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 10d 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.

Database & Data Management Standards

Maverick's hard rules for schema migrations, environment isolation, and data safety.

Maverick's Rules

  • Forward-only in production — never roll back a production migration manually; undo with a new forward migration.
  • Every migration is reversible — each migration includes an up and a down operation, even if the down is only ever used in development.
  • Never edit an already-applied migration — once applied to any shared environment, write a new migration instead.
  • No ad-hoc DDL against shared environments — every schema change is a versioned migration file in version control.
  • Strict environment isolation — dev, staging, and production databases are completely separate. Never connect to production from a local machine (bastion/audited admin tools only). Never copy production data to development — seed data or anonymised snapshots only.
  • Seed data is synthetic and idempotent — never production data in seed files; re-running seeds produces the same result.
  • No speculative indexes — index only columns appearing in actual query WHERE/JOIN/ORDER BY/GROUP BY clauses; remove unused indexes.
  • Connection pooling is mandatory — never open a connection per request; configure connection and idle timeouts.
  • Stage destructive schema changesDROP/RENAME/type changes require the expand-backfill-contract pattern: deploy code that stops using the column first, then migrate.

Project Implementation Lookup

Check for docs/maverick/skills/database-management/SKILL.md. If present, read it — it wins on specifics (library, config, conventions). If missing, proceed with these standards and note the gap in your summary.

Detecting Database Issues in Code Review

When reviewing code, flag these patterns:

Pattern Issue Fix
Raw SQL without parameterised queries SQL injection risk Use parameterised queries or ORM
Manual schema change (ad-hoc DDL) Unreproducible, untracked change Create a migration file
Editing an already-applied migration Breaks migration history Write a new migration
No index on columns used in WHERE/JOIN Performance degradation at scale Add appropriate index
Opening connection per request (no pooling) Connection exhaustion Use connection pool
Hardcoded connection string Security risk, environment coupling Use environment variables or secrets manager
Missing down migration Cannot revert in development Add reversible down operation
Production data in seed files Data leak, privacy violation Use synthetic data only
DROP TABLE or DROP COLUMN without staged rollout Breaks running application Stage the change: remove code references first
No transaction wrapping for multi-step migration Partial application on failure Wrap in transaction where the database supports it

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.
