## What it does

This command automates schema workflows for Supabase databases. It inspects existing migration files and uncommitted changes across `.sql` and `.ts` files, then plans table creation, schema alterations, seeding, or rollbacks based on passed flags.

Execution covers SQL file generation, integrity checks, and TypeScript type synchronization for client interfaces. The assistant applies schema updates through a Supabase MCP server. Without a configured MCP server, applying migrations directly to the database will fail.

The workflow also prepares rollback scripts and runs dry-run validations against development data. It operates using Read, Write, Edit, and Bash tools.

## Requirements
- Works with: Supabase

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command database/supabase-migration-assistant
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/supabase-migration-assistant.md` — Call it with /supabase-migration-assistant. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/supabase-migration-assistant.md` — Call it with /prompts:supabase-migration-assistant. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/supabase-migration-assistant.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/supabase-migration-assistant.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/commands/database/supabase-migration-assistant.md

## When to use it
- generate SQL migration files for table creation or alterations
- synchronize TypeScript types with the updated database schema
- prepare and test rollback procedures
- validate constraints and data integrity on development data
- create seed scripts for initial database records

## Example prompts
- /supabase-migration-assistant --create Add profiles table with id, username, and avatar_url
- /supabase-migration-assistant --alter Add a status column to the orders table
- /supabase-migration-assistant --rollback Prepare a rollback for the latest schema change

# Supabase Migration Assistant

Generate and manage Supabase migrations with comprehensive testing and validation: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Current Migration Context

- Supabase project: MCP integration for migration management and validation
- Migration files: !`find . -name "*migrations*" -type d -o -name "*.sql" | head -5` existing migration structure
- Schema version: Current database schema state and migration history
- Local changes: !`git diff --name-only | grep -E "\\.sql$|\\.ts$" | head -3` pending database modifications

## Task

Execute comprehensive migration management with automated validation and testing:

**Migration Type**: Use $ARGUMENTS to specify table creation, schema alterations, data seeding, or migration rollback

**Migration Management Framework**:
1. **Migration Planning** - Analyze schema requirements, design migration strategy, identify dependencies, plan rollback procedures
2. **Code Generation** - Generate migration SQL files, create TypeScript types, implement safety checks, optimize execution order
3. **Validation Testing** - Test migration on development data, validate schema changes, verify data integrity, check constraint violations
4. **Supabase Integration** - Apply migrations via MCP server, monitor execution status, handle error conditions, validate final state
5. **Type Generation** - Generate TypeScript types, update application interfaces, sync with client-side schemas, maintain type safety
6. **Rollback Strategy** - Create rollback migrations, test rollback procedures, implement data preservation, validate recovery process

**Advanced Features**: Automated type generation, migration testing, performance impact analysis, team collaboration, CI/CD integration.

**Safety Measures**: Pre-migration backups, dry-run validation, rollback testing, data integrity checks, performance monitoring.

**Output**: Complete migration suite with SQL files, TypeScript types, test validation, rollback procedures, and deployment documentation.
