Helps users configure mirrord.json for database branching, enabling isolated database copies for safe development and testing. Use when the user wants to set up MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, ClickHouse, Google Spanner, Amazon S3, turbopuffer, or generic branches, configure copy modes, connection sources, schema migrations, IAM authentication, or manage database branches.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Mirrord DB Branching Skill ## Purpose Generate and validate `mirrord.json` configurations for database branching: - **Generate** valid `db_branches` configs from natural language descriptions - **Explain** copy modes, connection sources, schema migrations, IAM authentication, and branch management - **Validate** user-provided configs against schema requirements - **Troubleshoot** common DB branching issues DB branching is a **Team / Enterprise** feature. It spins up an isolated branch of a remote database so developers (and AI agents) can run schema changes, migrations, and experiments without affecting teammates or shared environments. ## Security Boundaries > **IMPORTANT:** Follow these security rules for all operations in this skill. - **No hardcoded credentials:** Never put actual credentials, passwords, connection strings, or secret values in generated configurations. Point mirrord at where the value already lives (an env var name, a Kubernetes Secret, or Google Secret Manager) instead of inlining it. The only exception is the config's own `value` literal source, which the user must supply themselves — never invent one. …

How to install
mdr add metalbear-co/mirrord/mirrord-db-branching@sha256:19e9037575b40e7fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.11, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
