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 data-migration-scripts skill provides AI agents with the ability to generate, execute, and manage database migration scripts for various SQL dialects. It automates the creation of complex schema changes, data transformations, and rollback procedures to ensure safe transitions between database versions.
When to use it
- Automating routine database updates in CI/CD pipelines to reduce manual deployment errors.
- Generating idempotent migration scripts that can be safely re-run without causing duplicate data entries.
- Creating comprehensive rollback strategies to revert schema changes if a migration fails during production deployment.
- Standardizing SQL syntax across different environments (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) for consistent application behavior.
Key capabilities
- Generates valid SQL
CREATE,ALTER, andDROPstatements tailored to specific database engines. - Produces data transformation logic for migrating records between incompatible table structures.
- Creates transactional blocks to ensure atomicity during critical migration steps.
- Outputs detailed rollback scripts to reverse changes instantly upon failure detection.
Example prompts
- "Generate a PostgreSQL migration script to add a
created_attimestamp column to theuserstable with a default value of the current time." - "Write an idempotent SQL script to migrate email addresses from a
VARCHAR(50)field to a normalizedTEXTformat in a MySQL database." - "Create a migration and rollback pair for splitting a monolithic
orderstable into separateorder_itemsandorder_headerstables while preserving historical data integrity."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your AI agent specifies the target SQL dialect (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) in the prompt, as syntax varies significantly between engines. Always review generated scripts in a staging environment before applying them to production databases to verify data consistency and performance impact.
