# Database Migrations

Use this skill when database structure or persisted data changes.

## What to Apply

- Separate schema changes from data backfills when risk or scale is meaningful.
- Prefer expand-contract migrations for renames, type changes, and destructive changes.
- Check locks, large-table behavior, default values, indexes, and rollback strategy.
- Treat deployed migrations as immutable.
- Require tests or dry runs that match the project migration tooling.

## Reference Files

- [ai-agent-standards/prompts/sample-use-cases/database-migration.md](../../ai-agent-standards/prompts/sample-use-cases/database-migration.md)
- [ai-agent-standards/engineering-practices/TESTING_STANDARDS.md](../../ai-agent-standards/engineering-practices/TESTING_STANDARDS.md)
- [ai-agent-standards/risk-management/escalation-workflow.md](../../ai-agent-standards/risk-management/escalation-workflow.md)

## Output Expectation

State the migration sequence, rollback or forward-fix plan, and verification steps before touching production data.

supabase-postgres-best-practices

supabase/agent-skills

Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pg_cron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pg_restore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
