This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a migration", "run makemigrations", "modify a model field", "rename a column", or mentions "schema change", "alter table", "database migration". Validates migrations are production-safe.

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

# Migration Safety Checker

Validates Django migrations are production-safe before they cause data loss.

## Activation Triggers

This skill activates when:
- Running `makemigrations`
- Modifying model fields
- Mentioning "migration", "schema", "alter table"
- Adding/removing/renaming fields
- Changing field types
- Creating or modifying migration files

## Safety Requirements

All migrations MUST be:
- ✅ **Reversible** - Can roll back safely
- ✅ **No data loss** - Preserve existing data
- ✅ **Tested** - Run on staging first
- ✅ **Safe for production** - No downtime operations
- ✅ **Documented** - Explain what changes and why

## High-Risk Operations

These operations require special attention:

### 🔴 CRITICAL RISK - Data Loss Possible

1. **Dropping columns** without data migration
2. **Renaming fields** without data migration
3. **Changing field types** (data conversion issues)
4. **Adding non-nullable fields** without default
5. **Removing tables** with data

### 🟡 MEDIUM RISK - Requires Careful Planning

1. **Adding indexes** on large tables (use `CONCURRENTLY`)
2. **Adding unique constraints** (check for duplicates first)
3. **Changing `max_length`** (data truncation risk)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add smicolon/ai-kit/migration-safety-checker@sha256:2f6f007d8e53295a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260215.92455aa, 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.
