Skill74 starsChanged 9 days agoApache-2.0View on GitHub
Change Decant's SQLite schema (tables, columns, indexes, triggers) or force a re-derive of existing archives. Use when editing src/db.ts migrations, src/schema.sql, src/schema-manifest.ts, LATEST_SCHEMA_VERSION, or INGEST_PIPELINE_REVISION.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 36
Run the migration against a scratch copy of a large archive and time it (DECANT_DB=<copy>).
- Very specific: line 41
Update docs/data-lifecycle.md when archive state, sync, or migration behavior changes, and docs/architecture.md if module boundaries move.
≈ “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.
Files
Schema migration
The rules are AGENTS.md invariant 5 and the "Rebuilds and migrations" section
of docs/data-lifecycle.md. Read both before editing.
Rules
- A migration is frozen once it is committed, because someone may already have
opened an archive with that branch. Never edit an existing
if (current < N)block, onmainor on a feature branch; add a new one, even to fix a mistake in the previous one. - Bump
LATEST_SCHEMA_VERSIONinsrc/db.ts. Refer to that constant in docs instead of writing the number. - Guard each statement so a partially-migrated or operator-modified archive
still converges (
IF NOT EXISTS,hasTable,hasColumn), and stamp the new version inschema_migrationsinside the same block. src/schema.sqlis the effective baseline for a fresh archive. Apply the same change there so a fresh archive and a migrated one produce the samebuildSchemaManifestfingerprint;src/schema-manifest.tschanges only if the manifest needs to learn a new object kind.- Bump
INGEST_PIPELINE_REVISIONinsrc/ingest.tsonly when unchanged source files must be re-derived. The next sync then backfills them once and later syncs stay idempotent. A pure index or constraint change does not need it. - Unsupported older archives are rebuild-only; do not add upgrade paths below the baseline.
Tests
test/db.test.ts: migrate a previous-version archive and compare it with a fresh one; assert any query plan the new index exists for.- Run the migration against a scratch copy of a large archive and time it
(
DECANT_DB=<copy>). Never point a migration at~/.decant/decant.db.
Docs
Update docs/data-lifecycle.md when archive state, sync, or migration behavior
changes, and docs/architecture.md if module boundaries move.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
