Use when the database schema needs to change in a Symfony project using Doctrine.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is 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.

  • 1

    Very specific

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

  1. Very specific:

    Every schema change goes through a migration.

≈ “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.

Schema changes

symfony console make:migration
symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate

make:migration takes no arguments and asks nothing — it diffs the mapping against the database and writes the migration. Requires doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle.

The rule

Every schema change goes through a migration. Not doctrine:schema:update, not hand-written SQL against the database. The migration is the only artefact that can be reviewed, replayed on another environment, and rolled back.

Reading what was generated

Open the file before running it. The diff is derived from the mapping, so a renamed property appears as a dropped column plus a new one — which loses data. Rewrite those cases by hand inside the generated up() method.

--formatted makes the SQL readable when you intend to edit it.

Test and production

doctrine:migrations:migrate runs the same way everywhere. For the test database, run it with --env=test, and prefer it over recreating the schema so tests exercise the migrations that production will run.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

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.
