Turn what a system must guarantee into tables, keys and constraints — normalization judgement, nullability, foreign key behaviour, and naming that survives. Use when designing new tables, reviewing ORM models or a migration's DDL, or when a bug reduces to "the database allowed a row that should be impossible". Not for tuning a slow query, not for engine-specific syntax and features, and not for writing or running the migration that ships the change.

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

# Schema design

The schema is the last place a rule is still enforced. Application code, a background job, a psql
session and next year's import script all write to the same tables; only the constraints apply to
all of them.

## When this fires

Designing new tables, adding columns to existing ones, reviewing ORM models or DDL in a migration,
or when a defect traces back to the data model permitting an impossible state. It does not fire
for a query that is merely slow — that is a plan problem, not a modelling one.

## Procedure

1. **Read the existing schema before proposing anything.** Get the real DDL, constraints and
   indexes for the tables involved — `\d+` in psql, `information_schema`, or the migration files
   if that is all the access you have. Note the conventions already in use: plural or singular
   table names, key style, timestamp columns. You are joining a schema, not starting one.
2. **Write each invariant as one sentence.** "An order belongs to exactly one customer." "A
   subscription has at most one active period at a time." "An email identifies at most one
   account." Derive these from behaviour and from what breaks when they are violated, not from the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcher/schema-design@sha256:0dd675a6e2f031ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a0d4f55, 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.
