The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈4

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Run the migration; verify all rows are valid.

    line 16
  2. Distinctive:

    Never tighten a validator before the backfill completes — it rejects existing rows and breaks the live app.

    line 21
  3. Distinctive:

    Add new fields as optional first, migrate, then require.

    line 22
  4. Distinctive:

    Verify row counts before and after.

    line 23

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Migrate the schema / data on a live app

Change a deployed schema without breaking existing data: stage the schema change, install @convex-dev/migrations, write a backfill that makes old rows valid, run it, and verify before tightening the validator.

Workflow

  1. Make the new field optional first (so deploy doesn't reject existing rows).
  2. Install @convex-dev/migrations; write a migration that backfills/transforms existing rows.
  3. Run the migration; verify all rows are valid.
  4. Tighten the validator (make the field required) once the backfill is complete.

Rules

  • Never tighten a validator before the backfill completes — it rejects existing rows and breaks the live app.
  • Add new fields as optional first, migrate, then require.
  • Verify row counts before and after.
