At a glance

Covers schema conventions and safe rollout for Drizzle database migrations: online indexes, backfills, idempotent SQL and fixing regeneration or rebase conflicts.

Works in 3 steps: Regular Drizzle migration → Online index creation → Data backfill
Adding a column or table before generating a Drizzle migration
SKILL.md covers Schema conventions, Choose the rollout strategy, Development-stage schema changes and Rebase conflicts, plus 5 more sections
Calls bun and bunx

What it does

This guide starts with schema conventions to apply before generating any migration. Columns whose value set keeps growing should be plain text typed with a TypeScript union instead of database enums, so adding a value needs no migration, and the Drizzle enum option is avoided for the same reason. Shared domain constants stay out of schema files and live in the shared types package. Prefixed IDs are reserved for rows addressed one at a time, such as in URLs or API arguments, while child tables fetched in bulk for their parent use a plain uuid.

The skill also covers the rollout topics named in its description: online index creation, backfills, idempotent SQL, and resolving conflicts when migrations are regenerated or a branch is rebased. Each new enum literal would otherwise need an ALTER TYPE migration, which is the reason given for the text-column approach.

When your agent uses it

Adding a column or table before generating a Drizzle migration
Rolling out an index or backfill without locking a busy table
Resolving migration conflicts after a rebase or regeneration

Example prompts

“Add a status column for tasks and generate the migration without using an enum.”
“Create an index on the messages table so it can be applied online.”
“I rebased and now two migration files conflict. Regenerate them cleanly.”

Requirements

A Drizzle project with a database schema folder and a migrations folder

Workflow steps

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

Regular Drizzle migration
Online index creation
Data backfill

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 35d442e. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- bun
- bunx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use bunx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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

Drizzle Migration Rollout loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,420 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.5k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,420 words (~3,464 tokens).

“Apply these before generating any migration — they change what the schema file looks like, not just the SQL.”

Can I use Drizzle Migration Rollout in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add lobehub/lobehub --skill db-migrations -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/db-migrations, .gemini/skills/db-migrations, .github/skills/db-migrations and .opencode/skills/db-migrations in your project.

What does Drizzle Migration Rollout need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Drizzle Migration Rollout needs the command-line tools its instructions call (bun and bunx). Our summary lists: A Drizzle project with a database schema folder and a migrations folder.

Does Drizzle Migration Rollout access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Drizzle Migration Rollout safe to install?
