FAQPage Schema
How do I create database migrations that follow my project's ORM conventions?

Database migrations are versioned SQL or code files that track schema changes over time. This Skill generates migration files in your ORM's format—Prisma, Sequelize, Alembic, Knex, TypeORM, Django, or Rails—with correct naming, up/down logic, and reversibility built in, so your team stays synchronized on schema updates.

Which ORMs and migration frameworks does this support?

This Skill detects and generates migrations for Prisma, Sequelize, Alembic, Knex, TypeORM, Django, Rails, and other common ORMs. It identifies your project's framework automatically and applies the right syntax, naming conventions, and directory structure for each.

Can this Skill handle adding tables, columns, indexes, and relationships in migrations?

Yes. It generates complete migrations for adding or altering tables and columns, creating indexes and constraints, and establishing relationships between entities—all formatted for your ORM with reversible down migrations for safe rollbacks.

How does this Skill keep migration naming consistent across the team?

It follows your project's naming conventions—timestamp or sequential patterns—to ensure migrations are ordered predictably. Consistent naming prevents conflicts when multiple developers create migrations and makes the migration history readable.

Do I need to write migration syntax manually, or does this generate it for me?

This Skill generates the complete migration file with framework-specific syntax. You describe the schema change, and it produces the boilerplate code in your ORM's dialect, including up and down migrations ready to test and deploy.

What happens if a migration fails—can I roll back?

Each migration includes reversible up/down logic specific to your ORM. The Skill provides rollback guidance so you can safely undo a failed migration and re-run it or apply a corrected version without data loss.
