Rules for Operately schema migrations (app/priv/repo/migrations/) and data migrations (app/lib/operately/data/change.ex).

  • Generating database migrations
  • SKILL.md covers Creating schema migration files, Data migrations and Checklist
  • Calls make
  • Ecto.gen.migration

What it does

Ecto Migrations is an agent skill from operately/operately. Rules for Operately schema migrations (app/priv/repo/migrations/) and data migrations (app/lib/operately/data/change.ex). Use when adding, renaming, reviewing, or generating database migrations, ecto.gen.migration, Operately.Data.Change modules, backfills, schemamigrations version collisions, mix ecto.migrate, or make gen.migration.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases, covering Database migrations. The repository describes itself as: The open source company operating system.

When your agent uses it

  • Generating database migrations
  • Ecto.gen.migration
  • Operately.Data.Change modules
  • Schemamigrations version collisions

Example prompts

  • “Use the ecto-migrations skill to rule for Operately schema migrations (app/priv/repo/migrations/) and data migrations…”
  • “/ecto-migrations”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a11131d. 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:

    • make

    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

Ecto Migrations loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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); 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 345 words (~1,169 tokens).
