At a glance

A skill your agent uses when setting up Alembic migrations or making database schema changes.

  • Works in 7 steps: Initialize Alembic → Configure alembic.ini → Configure env.py for SQLModel → …
  • Setting up Alembic migrations
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Initial Setup, Generating Migrations and Applying Migrations, plus 6 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder

What it does

DB Migration is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Use when setting up Alembic migrations or making database schema changes. Triggers for: initializing Alembic, generating migrations, applying upgrades, rolling back changes, or creating data migrations. NOT for: raw SQL execution outside migration context or non-database schema updates.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/verify.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Databases, covering Database migrations and Database schema design. It works with SQL. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up Alembic migrations
  • Making database schema changes
  • : initializing Alembic
  • Generating migrations

Example prompts

  • “/db-migration”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Initialize Alembic
  2. Configure alembic.ini
  3. Configure env.py for SQLModel
  4. Always Generate Before Manual Edit
  5. Review Generated Migrations
  6. Test Migration Cycle
  7. Handle Long-Running Migrations

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

DB Migration loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 260 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 260 words (~2,273 tokens).

“Expert Alembic migration management for SQLModel/FastAPI projects with safe schema evolution and rollback capabilities.”
