db-migration-safety SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
db-migration-safety from khaledsaeed18/dotclaude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Review or write a database schema migration with production safety as the bar, checking locks, table rewrites, backfills, expand-contract deploy order, index creation, and rollback for Postgres, MySQL, and common ORMs. Use when adding or reviewing a migration, dropping or renaming columns, or adding constraints or indexes to large tables.
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
A migration that is correct on an empty dev database can still take a production table offline. Judge every migration by what it does under load on the largest table it touches: what lock it takes, for how long, and what the old application version does while the new schema is live. When any answer is "depends", assume the worst table and the slowest query. ## Step 1: Establish the blast radius - Read the migration and identify every table it touches, then find out (or ask) roughly how large and how hot each one is. A pattern that is fine on 10k rows is an outage on 100M. - Identify the engine and version (Postgres, MySQL 8, SQLite, ...) from config; lock behavior differs materially between them, and between versions. - Identify the deploy model: is the old app version still running while this migration executes (rolling deploy, multiple replicas)? Almost always yes; review under that assumption. ## Step 2: Check the dangerous patterns Flag any of these, with the safe alternative: **Locking and rewrites** …

How to install
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/db-migration-safety@sha256:af006da036ac64a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.4ccfb75, 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.
