Generate Ecto migrations from natural language or schema descriptions. Handles tables, columns, indexes, constraints, references, enums, and partitioning. Supports reversible migrations, data migrations, and multi-tenant patterns. Use when creating or modifying database schemas, adding indexes, altering tables, creating enums, or performing data migrations in an Elixir project.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Parse the user's description and generate a migration file. Common patterns: User SaysMigration Action"Create users table with email and name"create table(:users) with columns"Add phone to users"alter table(:users), add :phone"Make email unique on users"create unique_index(:users, [:email])"Add tenant_id to all tables"Multiple alter table with index"Rename status to state on orders"rename table(:orders), :status, to: :state"Remove the legacy_id column from users"alter table(:users), remove :legacy_id"Add a check constraint on orders amount > 0"create constraint(:orders, ...)
mix ecto.gen.migration <name> # Generates: priv/repo/migrations/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_<name>.exs Name conventions: create_<table>, add_<column>_to_<table>, create_<table>_<column>_index, alter_<table>_add_<columns>.
defmodule MyApp.Repo.Migrations.CreateUsers do use Ecto.Migration def change do create table(:users, primary_key: false) do add :id, :binary_id, primary_key: true add :email, :string, null: false add :name, :string, null: false add :role, :string, null: false, default: "member" add :metadata, :map, default: %{} add :tenant_id, :binary_id, null: false add :team_id, references(:teams, type: :binary_id, on_delete: :delete_all) timestamps(type: :utc_datetime_usec) end create unique_index(:users, [:tenant_id, :email]) create index(:users, [:tenant_id]) create index(:users, [:team_id]) end end
See references/column-types.md for complete type mapping and guidance. Key decisions: IDs: Use :binary_id (UUID) β set primary_key: false on table, add :id manually. Money: Use :integer (cents) or :decimal β never :float. Timestamps: Always timestamps(type: :utc_datetime_usec). Enums: Use :string with app-level Ecto.Enum β avoid Postgres enums (hard to migrate). JSON: Use :map (maps to jsonb). Arrays: Use {:array, :string} etc.
See references/index-patterns.md for detailed index guidance.
Always index: Foreign keys (_id columns) tenant_id (first column in composite indexes) Columns used in WHERE clauses Columns used in ORDER BY Unique constraints
# Standard B-tree create index(:users, [:tenant_id]) # Unique create unique_index(:users, [:tenant_id, :email]) # Partial (conditional) create index(:orders, [:status], where: "status != 'completed'", name: :orders_active_status_idx) # GIN for JSONB create index(:events, [:metadata], using: :gin) # GIN for array columns create index(:posts, [:tags], using: :gin) # Composite create index(:orders, [:tenant_id, :status, :inserted_at]) # Concurrent (no table lock β use in separate migration) @disable_ddl_transaction true @disable_migration_lock true def change do create index(:users, [:email], concurrently: true) end
# Check constraint create constraint(:orders, :amount_must_be_positive, check: "amount > 0") # Exclusion constraint (requires btree_gist extension) execute "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS btree_gist", "" create constraint(:reservations, :no_overlapping_bookings, exclude: ~s|gist (room_id WITH =, tstzrange(starts_at, ends_at) WITH &&)| ) # Unique constraint (same as unique_index for most purposes) create unique_index(:accounts, [:slug])

def change do create table(:items, primary_key: false) do add :id, :binary_id, primary_key: true add :name, :string, null: false add :tenant_id, :binary_id, null: false timestamps(type: :utc_datetime_usec) end # Always composite index with tenant_id first create index(:items, [:tenant_id]) create unique_index(:items, [:tenant_id, :name]) end
def change do alter table(:items) do add :tenant_id, :binary_id end # Backfill in a separate data migration, then: # alter table(:items) do # modify :tenant_id, :binary_id, null: false # end end
Rule: Never mix schema changes and data changes in the same migration.
defmodule MyApp.Repo.Migrations.BackfillUserRoles do use Ecto.Migration # Don't use schema modules β they may change after this migration runs def up do execute """ UPDATE users SET role = 'member' WHERE role IS NULL """ end def down do # Data migrations may not be reversible :ok end end
def up do execute """ UPDATE users SET role = 'member' WHERE id IN ( SELECT id FROM users WHERE role IS NULL LIMIT 10000 ) """ # For very large tables, use a Task or Oban job instead end
These are auto-reversible: create table β drop table add column β remove column create index β drop index rename β rename
Must define both directions: modify column type β Ecto can't infer the old type execute raw SQL Data backfills Dropping columns with data def up do alter table(:users) do modify :email, :citext, from: :string # from: helps reversibility end end def down do alter table(:users) do modify :email, :string, from: :citext end end
Phoenix 1.7+ supports from: for reversible modify: def change do alter table(:users) do modify :email, :citext, null: false, from: {:string, null: true} end end
def change do execute "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS citext", "DROP EXTENSION IF EXISTS citext" execute "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pgcrypto", "DROP EXTENSION IF EXISTS pgcrypto" execute "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm", "DROP EXTENSION IF EXISTS pg_trgm" end
Prefer Ecto.Enum with :string columns. If you must use Postgres enums: def up do execute "CREATE TYPE order_status AS ENUM ('pending', 'confirmed', 'shipped', 'delivered')" alter table(:orders) do add :status, :order_status, null: false, default: "pending" end end def down do alter table(:orders) do remove :status end execute "DROP TYPE order_status" end Warning: Adding values to Postgres enums requires ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE which cannot run inside a transaction. Prefer :string + Ecto.Enum.
Primary key: primary_key: false + add :id, :binary_id, primary_key: true null: false on required columns timestamps(type: :utc_datetime_usec) Foreign keys with appropriate on_delete Index on every foreign key column tenant_id indexed (composite with lookup fields) Unique constraints where needed Concurrent indexes in separate migration with @disable_ddl_transaction true Data migrations in separate files from schema migrations
