Ops DB Ops

Ops: Database Operations

Manage database migrations, schema generation, GraphQL code generation, and the project's reset/seed/verify state operations.

Argument: $ARGUMENTS — operation (migrate, revert, generate, schema, codegen, seed, reset, reset:verify, state:inventory, state:classify) and optional environment (default: dev)

Path Convention

• Frontend: Current project directory (.)
• Backend: ${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2} — set BACKEND_DIR in .claude/settings.local.json if your backend is elsewhere

Safety

CRITICAL: Never run migrations or reverts against production without explicit human confirmation.

Destructive state operations are stricter than that. reset (and any seed that clears before it writes) is governed by the reset-seed-coverage rule and never runs on the strength of a confirmation alone:

• Run --dry-run first, always, and read what it says it will change. A dry run that reports an entity whose ownership it cannot establish is a STOP, not a warning.
• The environment is whatever the adapter resolves server-side. A --stage, TEST_ENV, URL, host, or public build-time variable is a request the adapter checks, never the answer. If the requested stage and the resolved environment disagree, that is a refusal to investigate — not something to re-run with a different flag.
• Production has no override, in any repo, ever. There is no flag, variable, or confirmation phrase that makes a production reset correct. If one appears to exist, stop and report it.
• Never invent a reset. If the project ships no reset adapter, say so and stop; do not improvise deletions with ad-hoc queries or the migration tooling.

Discovery

Read the backend package.json to discover available migration and schema scripts:

• migration:run:* — run pending migrations
• migration:revert:* — revert last migration
• migration:generate:* — generate new migration from entity changes
• migration:create — create empty migration
• generate:sql-schema* — regenerate SQL schema for MCP
• AWS credential/profile scripts such as aws:signin:* and any environment-backed remote profile

Read the backend and frontend package.json to discover the state operations. Discover them; do not assume these exact names — a project may expose them under its own, and this skill runs whatever the project declares:

• db:seed / seed:* — write the fixture baseline
• db:reset / reset:* — converge state back to that baseline
• db:reset:verify / reset:verify:* — prove the post-state, by exact counts
• state:inventory — enumerate what the running environment actually holds
• check:state-classification — compare that inventory against the state contract

Read the frontend package.json to discover codegen scripts:

• fetch:graphql:schema:* — fetch GraphQL schema
• generate:types:* — generate TypeScript types

If a state script the operation needs does not exist, report the absence and the scripts that DO exist. Do not substitute a different script, and do not fall back to running SQL by hand.

AWS Prerequisite

All database operations (except codegen) require AWS credentials. Verify the target profile first:

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
aws sts get-caller-identity --profile {aws-profile}

If this is an interactive local session and credentials are expired, refresh the backend's local AWS signin flow. In a headless or remote-routine session, use the preconfigured environment-backed assume-role profile and do not start an SSO browser/device flow.

Operations

migrate (run pending migrations)

Local database:

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
STAGE={env} bun run migration:run:local

Remote database:

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
STAGE={env} bun run migration:run:remote:local

revert (undo last migration)

Local database:

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
STAGE={env} bun run migration:revert:local

Remote database:

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
STAGE={env} bun run migration:revert:remote:local

generate (create new migration from entity changes)

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
NAME={migration_name} bun run migration:generate:{env}

create (create empty migration)

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
NAME={migration_name} bun run migration:create

schema (regenerate SQL schema for MCP)

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
STAGE={env} bun run generate:sql-schema

codegen (regenerate GraphQL types in frontend)

1. Fetch schema:

   bun run fetch:graphql:schema:{env}
   

2. Generate types:

   bun run generate:types:{env}
   

Note: The backend must be running (locally or deployed) for schema fetching to work.

seed (write the fixture baseline)

Run the project's discovered seed script for the target environment. A seed is additive or convergent, never a blind wipe; if the project's seed clears first, treat it as a reset and follow the reset sequence below.

cd "${BACKEND_DIR:-../backend-v2}"
{package-manager} run {discovered-seed-script} --stage {env}

reset (converge state back to the baseline)

Never a single command. The sequence is fixed:

1. Dry run. {discovered-reset-script} --dry-run --stage {env}. Read the enumeration. Stop on any entity of unknown ownership, on any forbidden-classified entity appearing at all, and on any disagreement between the requested stage and the resolved environment.
2. Classify first if the contract is stale. If check:state-classification reports an unclassified entity, the reset does not run — an unclassified entity is neither safe to keep nor safe to delete. Fix the state contract, then start over at step 1.
3. Apply, passing an idempotency key when running in CI: {discovered-reset-script} --stage {env} --idempotency-key {run-id}.
4. Verify with reset:verify. A reset that mutated but did not verify is a failure, not a partial success.
5. Converge check. Applying a second time must report no further change. If the second run keeps deleting, the ownership predicate is wrong — report it rather than re-running.

reset:verify (prove the post-state)

{package-manager} run {discovered-verify-script} --stage {env}

Verification asserts exact expected counts per fixture entity. "At least one" passes against a leak, which is the condition being guarded.

state:inventory (enumerate what the environment actually holds)

Produces the runtime inventory the classification check compares against. A complete inventory covers more than rows: identity-provider objects, object storage prefixes, search indexes, queues and dead-letter backlogs, caches with a persistence tier, derived and materialized views, and runtime-created jobs. Record anything that could not be enumerated, with the reason.

state:classify (compare the inventory to the contract)

node scripts/check-state-classification.mjs

Exit 0 = every entity the environment holds is classified and every policy obligation is met. Nonzero = an unclassified entity, an unswept fixture-owned entity, a stale classification, an incomplete inventory, or a missing assurance. Report the findings verbatim — each names the entity and what is missing.

Output Format

Every state operation returns the standard command envelope on stdout — one JSON object with schemaVersion, capability, mode, operation, environment, contractVersion, dryRun, status, correlationId, and summary{deleted,created,preserved}. Report from that envelope, not from prose scraped off stderr. A destructive operation that produced no envelope has not been verified, whatever its exit code said.
