SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires prisma, @prisma/client, @prisma/adapter-pg, pg, dotenv, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up a new Prisma Postgres database involves multiple manual steps: creating a service token, choosing a region, provisioning a project through the Management API, wiring the connection string into your project, and configuring Prisma 7's new client adapter pattern. This Skill automates that entire workflow end-to-end. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Provisioning: Authenticates with a service token, lists available regions, creates a project with a database, and extracts the direct connection string via the Prisma Management API. - Local Project Configuration: Installs required packages (prisma, @prisma/client, @prisma/adapter-pg, pg, dotenv), writes DATABASE_URL to .env, and sets up prisma.config.ts following Prisma 7 conventions. - Schema and Verification: Guides schema definition (manual, starter blog schema, or natural-language description), runs migrations, and verifies the connection with a test script. - Use Case: You just scaffolded a new Node.js app and need a hosted Postgres database. Ask the agent to set up Prisma Postgres, pick a region from an interactive menu, and get a working, verified database connection in minutes. ## Quick Start Set up a new Prisma Postgres database for this project and connect it locally using my service token.

Frequently Asked Questions about prisma-postgres-setup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Prisma Postgres database from the command line?▼

Use the Prisma Management API with a workspace service token: list available regions, POST to /v1/projects with createDatabase set to true, then extract the direct connection string from the response. Write it to .env as DATABASE_URL and configure prisma.config.ts.

How do I get a Prisma Postgres connection string?▼

Create a project via POST /v1/projects with createDatabase enabled, then read data.database.connections[0].endpoints.direct.connectionString from the response. Use the direct endpoint, not the pooled or Accelerate endpoints.

How do I instantiate PrismaClient in Prisma 7?▼

Create a pg.Pool with your DATABASE_URL, wrap it in a PrismaPg adapter from @prisma/adapter-pg, and pass { adapter } to the PrismaClient constructor. Import the client from ./generated/prisma/client.js and ensure package.json has "type": "module".

Why does new PrismaClient() throw an error in Prisma 7?▼

Prisma 7 requires a driver adapter, so calling new PrismaClient() with no arguments throws. The datasourceUrl option no longer exists either. Pass an adapter such as PrismaPg wrapping a pg.Pool instead.

What should I do when the Prisma Management API returns a 401 error?▼

A 401 authentication-failed error means the service token is invalid or expired. Create a new token in Prisma Console under Workspace Settings, then Service Tokens, and retry the request with the new token in the Authorization header.

When should I not use this database setup workflow?▼

Do not use it for CI/CD preview databases, which belong to the prisma-postgres-cicd workflow, or for multi-tenant provisioning inside an app, which uses the integrator flow. Existing connected databases only need standard Prisma CLI migration commands.
