What db-generate does

The skill takes a module name and runs npx medusa db:generate <module-name>. That is the whole job — one Bash call with your argument dropped in.

When it finishes, you get the module name, the migration file name or location, and any errors or warnings. It also points at the follow-up: apply the migrations with npx medusa db:migrate.

The module name is required, so a bare invocation goes nowhere. Tool access is scoped to Bash(npx medusa db:generate:*), which keeps the skill inside generation and out of your other commands.

What it helps with

generate a migration file for a new Medusa module
skip typing the module name into the command by hand
find where the migration file landed
catch errors and warnings during generation
get reminded to apply the migrations

Example prompts for the agent

/medusa-dev:db-generate brand
/medusa-dev:db-generate custom-module
Generate migrations for the product module
