Acorn Eloquent models handle custom WordPress table schemas by enforcing explicit `$table` mapping with WP prefixes, `$fillable` for mass assignment, and `$casts` for type casting. This ensures safe data modeling within Acorn projects while preventing uncontrolled attribute updates.

You should not write to WordPress core tables via Eloquent. The Skill enforces read-only constraints for WP core tables and directs you to use native WordPress APIs for hook-triggered write operations, preventing unsafe data modifications.

You run Acorn Eloquent database migrations via `lando acorn` for deterministic schema execution. The Skill provides Acorn-compatible migration patterns to safely create and modify custom database schemas within your WordPress project.

The best way to define Acorn Eloquent relationships is using `hasMany`, `belongsTo`, `belongsToMany`, and polymorphic patterns. The Skill specifically guides defining WordPress Post-to-Meta relationships to ensure accurate relational data retrieval.

To avoid N+1 query issues in Acorn Eloquent, apply eager-loading guidance and use reusable local or global query scopes. These performance guardrails ensure efficient database queries when filtering and reporting on WordPress data.
