SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Upgrading from Prisma ORM v6 to v7 introduces breaking changes around the new prisma-client generator, mandatory driver adapters, prisma.config.ts, explicit environment loading, and new generated client entrypoints, and this Skill guides the full migration so projects do not break. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Step-by-Step Migration: Covers package updates, ESM/CommonJS module format selection, tsconfig changes, schema generator block updates, and prisma.config.ts creation. - Driver Adapter Setup: Provides installation and configuration for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Neon, SQL Server, PlanetScale, Turso, D1, and Prisma Postgres adapters, including pool and SSL settings. - Removed Feature Replacements: Shows how to replace $use middleware with Client Extensions, Prisma.validator with TypeScript satisfies, and removed CLI flags with explicit commands. - Use Case: A team upgrading a Next.js app hits "Cannot find module" errors after installing Prisma 7; this Skill walks them through setting the generator output path, installing @prisma/adapter-pg, and updating client imports. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to upgrade your project to Prisma 7 and fix any resulting errors using this migration guide.

Frequently Asked Questions about prisma-upgrade-v7

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade from Prisma 6 to Prisma 7?

Update packages with npm install @prisma/client@7 and prisma@7, switch the generator provider to prisma-client with an explicit output path, create prisma.config.ts, install a driver adapter like @prisma/adapter-pg, update client imports, and run npx prisma generate.

What is a Prisma driver adapter and why is it required in v7?

A driver adapter connects Prisma Client to the database using native Node.js drivers instead of a bundled engine binary. Prisma 7 requires adapters for SQL providers, such as @prisma/adapter-pg for PostgreSQL or @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 for SQLite.

Does Prisma 7 support MongoDB?

No, Prisma 7 has no MongoDB connector and no MongoDB driver adapter package. MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release or migrate to Prisma Next instead of following the v7 SQL migration path.

Why do I get Cannot find module errors after upgrading Prisma?

The prisma-client generator requires an explicit output path and no longer generates into node_modules. Verify the generator output path matches your import path, such as ../generated/prisma/client, and rerun npx prisma generate.

How do I replace Prisma.validator in Prisma 7?

The prisma-client generator no longer exposes Prisma.validator. Use TypeScript's satisfies operator instead, for example defining a select object with satisfies Prisma.UserSelect to get the same type-safe query fragments.

Can I use Prisma Accelerate with driver adapters in v7?

No, driver adapters expect direct database connection strings and fail with prisma:// or prisma+postgres:// URLs. For Accelerate, pass accelerateUrl to PrismaClient and apply the @prisma/extension-accelerate extension instead.
