lc:consolidate-migrations

To consolidate fragmented Laravel migrations, this skill analyzes your database/migrations directory, groups operations by table, and merges multiple incremental ALTER migrations into a single clean CREATE migration file.

The best way to clean up hundreds of small Laravel migration files is to group operations by table and detect foreign key dependencies, safely merging them while preserving data migrations and ensuring syntax validity.

Yes, consolidating Laravel migrations detects foreign key relationships and table dependencies automatically to ensure safe merging and prevent production schema conflicts during the refactoring process.

Yes, you can run a dry-run before merging Laravel database schema migrations. The skill provides dry-run modes and explicit confirmation steps to prevent accidental data loss during schema optimization.

To validate syntax when refactoring Laravel migrations, you need read access to migration files and bash execution capabilities to run php -l, ensuring the consolidated schema definitions remain syntactically valid.

You should not use automated migration consolidation in Laravel for data migrations, as the skill specifically preserves them, or in production environments without first utilizing the provided dry-run modes and confirmation steps.
