Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
The database-migration skill enables AI agents to execute schema changes and data transformations across various database systems. It automates the process of updating table structures, adding columns, or modifying relationships without manual SQL intervention.
When to use it
- Updating legacy database schemas to support new application features.
- Adding new columns or altering existing field types during a release cycle.
- Refactoring data models to improve query performance or normalization.
- Applying consistent structural changes across multiple development environments.
Key capabilities
- Generates and executes SQL migration scripts automatically.
- Supports schema evolution for relational databases.
- Handles column additions, removals, and type modifications.
- Manages foreign key constraints and index updates.
Example prompts
- "Create a migration to add a
user_preferencesJSON column to theuserstable." - "Refactor the
orderstable by splitting it intoorder_itemsand updating existing data accordingly." - "Generate a reversible migration script to drop the deprecated
legacy_idcolumn from theproductstable."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your AI agent has appropriate read/write permissions on the target database before running migrations. Always test generated scripts in a staging environment first, as schema changes can impact dependent applications or data integrity if not rolled back correctly.
