What problem does it solve? Developers working with Prisma ORM need accurate, current guidance on CLI commands like init, generate, migrate, and db push, including correct flags, configuration via prisma.config.ts, and safety rules for destructive operations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Command Reference: Covers the full Prisma ORM CLI surface including init, generate, migrate dev/deploy/reset/status/diff/resolve, db pull/push/seed/execute, dev, studio, validate, format, debug, complete, and mcp. - AI Safety Checkpoint: Enforces explicit user consent before destructive commands like migrate reset or db push --force-reset when an AI agent is detected. - Use Case: When setting up a new project, follow the init reference to create prisma/schema.prisma and prisma.config.ts, then run migrate dev and generate to produce a typed Prisma Client. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show how to create and apply a named Prisma migration and regenerate the client for your schema.

Frequently Asked Questions about prisma-cli

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create and apply a Prisma migration in development?

Run prisma migrate dev --name your_migration_name to create and apply a migration from schema changes. It uses a shadow database for drift detection, and you should run prisma generate afterward to refresh the client.

What is the difference between prisma db push and prisma migrate dev?

db push syncs the schema directly without creating migration files or history, making it suited for prototyping and MongoDB. migrate dev creates tracked migration files with rollback capability and is preferred for team development.

How do I run Prisma CLI with Bun?

Use bunx --bun before Prisma commands, such as bunx --bun prisma generate. Without the --bun flag, the CLI falls back to Node.js because of its shebang.

Why is prisma migrate reset blocked when run by an AI agent?

Prisma detects AI agent environments and blocks destructive commands like migrate reset and db push --force-reset until the user gives explicit consent. The agent must explain the data-loss impact and obtain consent immediately before running the command.

Does prisma migrate dev automatically run generate and seed?

No, in current Prisma versions you must run prisma generate and prisma db seed explicitly after migrate dev when you need refreshed client output or seed data. The seed command is configured in prisma.config.ts.
