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.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned getsentry/sentry at 2a9bcbb2b0.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill
What it does
This skill generates database migration files to help AI agents manage schema changes in codebases. It automates the creation of SQL or ORM-specific migration scripts based on desired structural updates, ensuring version control consistency without manual file editing.
When to use it
- You need to add a new column to an existing table and want the agent to produce the correct
ALTER TABLEstatement. - Your team requires automated rollback capabilities for database changes during rapid feature iteration.
- You are refactoring data models and need the AI to generate migration scripts that safely transform legacy schemas.
- You want to standardize migration syntax across a project by having an agent enforce specific formatting rules.
Key capabilities
- Generates SQL migration files tailored to specific database engines (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
- Creates ORM-specific migrations for frameworks like Django, Rails, or Prisma.
- Produces both forward and backward (rollback) migration scripts automatically.
- Supports complex schema operations such as renaming tables, adding indexes, and altering data types.
Example prompts
- "Create a migration script to add a
user_emailcolumn to theprofilestable with a default value of 'pending'." - "Generate a rollback migration for the last commit that renamed the
orderstable tocustomer_orders." - "Write a Prisma migration to update the
statusfield in thetaskstable from an integer to a string enum."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your AI agent knows the specific database dialect or ORM version you are using, as syntax varies significantly between them. Always review generated migrations before applying them to production environments to prevent data loss.
