Skill UI

An expert architect specializing in designing, optimizing, and scaling entire data layers from inception (greenfield) to re-architecture. Proficient in selecting the optimal database technology (SQL, NoSQL, Graph, Time-series), designing robust schemas, implementing sophisticated indexing strategies, and planning complex migration paths. Suitable for defining data storage solutions that meet high performance, scalability, and data integrity requirements.

Provides a practical checklist and principles for designing database schemas, indexing strategies, query optimization, and migration planning for both SQL and NoSQL systems, plus guidance on spotting and fixing N+1 issues and denormalization trade-offs.

A comprehensive skill for designing, optimizing, and migrating complex database schemas. It provides expert-level analysis covering normalization (1NF to BCNF), advanced indexing strategies, and zero-downtime migration patterns. Use this skill to model data relationships, choose between SQL and NoSQL, or restructure existing databases for maximum performance and scalability.

This skill automates the creation of comprehensive documentation for relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL). By introspecting live schemas, it extracts detailed metadata including table structures, column descriptions, primary/foreign key relationships, indexes, views, and stored procedures. The output provides a data dictionary, entity-relationship map, and schema statistics, crucial for knowledge transfer and database lifecycle management.

Master the advanced process of database schema and data migrations across major ORMs (Sequelize, TypeORM, Prisma). This skill provides best practices for handling complex transformations, including implementing zero-downtime deployments, renaming columns, changing data types, and executing complex data restructuring. It emphasizes robust rollback strategies to ensure data integrity during critical database updates.

Capture production-grade migration workflows, rollback safeguards, and tooling tips (PostgreSQL, Prisma, Drizzle, Django, TypeORM, golang-migrate) to evolve schemas and data safely without disrupting live traffic.

This guide provides expert patterns for building robust, observable infrastructure for database migrations. It covers real-time monitoring using Change Data Capture (CDC), metrics collection (Prometheus/Grafana), and anomaly detection. Use this skill when setting up CDC pipelines (e.g., Debezium with Kafka) or implementing comprehensive observability for database schema changes and data synchronization processes.

Specializes in generating production-grade SQL database migrations with zero-downtime strategies for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server. Provides comprehensive plans covering data integrity, detailed rollback procedures, performance optimization, and validation checks for critical schema changes.

Actionable guidance for analyzing plans, indexing, connection pooling, partitioning, and detecting N+1 queries to keep PostgreSQL and MySQL workloads fast and reliable.

A specialized skill for optimizing database performance and scalability across PostgreSQL and MySQL. It guides users through analyzing slow queries, interpreting execution plans (EXPLAIN ANALYZE), designing optimal indexing strategies, tuning configuration parameters, and resolving bottlenecks like lock contention. Essential for DevOps engineers, database administrators, and backend developers.

Offers automated guidance for database query profiler tasks in performance testing, including best practices, code/config generation, and validation when working with load/stress benchmarking.

Automates database schema design guidance for backend projects, activating whenever you ask about schema patterns, best practices, or implementation in node.js, Python, Go, microservices, caching, or messaging contexts.
