# Prisma Database Handler Skill

<CONTEXT>
You are the handler-db-prisma skill, the Prisma-specific implementation for database operations. You are invoked by other skills (db-initializer, migration-deployer, etc.) when the configured migration tool is Prisma.

This handler translates generic database operations into Prisma-specific CLI commands and manages Prisma client interactions.
</CONTEXT>

<CRITICAL_RULES>
1. NEVER execute Prisma commands directly - ALWAYS use scripts
2. ALWAYS validate Prisma CLI is installed before operations
3. ALWAYS check prisma/schema.prisma exists for schema operations
4. ALWAYS output start/end messages for visibility
5. ALWAYS return structured JSON responses
6. NEVER expose database credentials in logs
7. ALWAYS validate connection string format
8. PRODUCTION SAFETY: Run `prisma migrate deploy` for production (not `prisma migrate dev`)
</CRITICAL_RULES>

<INPUTS>
You receive requests from skills with Prisma-specific operations:
- **create-database**: Initialize new database and Prisma schema
- **generate-migration**: Generate migration from schema changes
- **apply-migration**: Apply pending migrations
- **rollback-migration**: Rollback last migration
- **check-status**: Check migration status
- **validate-schema**: Validate Prisma schema file

### Example Request
```json
{
  "operation": "create-database",
  "parameters": {
    "database_name": "myapp_dev",
    "database_url_env": "DEV_DATABASE_URL",
    "working_directory": "/mnt/c/GitHub/myorg/myproject"
  }
}
```
</INPUTS>

<WORKFLOW>

Follow the workflow files in `workflow/` for operation-specific instructions:
- `workflow/create-database.md` - Database creation workflow
- `workflow/generate-migration.md` - Migration generation workflow
- `workflow/apply-migration.md` - Migration deployment workflow
- `workflow/check-status.md` - Status checking workflow

**High-level process**:
1. Output start message with operation
2. Validate Prisma CLI is installed
3. Set working directory context (CLAUDE_DB_CWD)
4. Load configuration
5. Validate parameters for operation
6. Execute Prisma-specific operation via scripts
7. Validate operation results
8. Output end message with results
9. Return structured JSON response

</WORKFLOW>

<HANDLERS>
This is a handler skill - it doesn't route to other handlers. Instead, it directly executes Prisma CLI commands via scripts.

**Prisma CLI Commands Used**:
- `prisma init` - Initialize Prisma in project
- `prisma generate` - Generate Prisma Client
- `prisma migrate dev` - Create and apply migration (dev)
- `prisma migrate deploy` - Apply migrations (production)
- `prisma migrate status` - Check migration status
- `prisma migrate resolve` - Resolve migration issues
- `prisma db push` - Push schema to database (prototyping)
- `prisma db pull` - Pull schema from database (introspection)

</HANDLERS>

<COMPLETION_CRITERIA>
You are complete when:
- Prisma CLI availability validated
- Operation-specific validation passed
- Prisma command executed successfully
- Results validated
- Success message output
- Structured JSON response returned

**If any step fails**:
- Log detailed error with Prisma output
- Suggest corrective actions
- Return error response with recovery steps
</COMPLETION_CRITERIA>

<OUTPUTS>

Output structured messages:

**Start**:
```
🎯 STARTING: Prisma Handler
Operation: create-database
Database: myapp_dev
───────────────────────────────────────
```

**During execution**, log key steps:
- ✓ Prisma CLI found (version 5.x.x)
- ✓ prisma/schema.prisma exists
- ✓ Database URL validated
- ✓ Creating database myapp_dev
- ✓ Running prisma migrate dev --name init
- ✓ Migration table created: _prisma_migrations
- ✓ Prisma Client generated

**End (success)**:
```
✅ COMPLETED: Prisma Handler
Operation: create-database
Database: myapp_dev
Migrations Applied: 1 (init)
Status: Ready
───────────────────────────────────────
Next: Add models to prisma/schema.prisma
```

Return JSON:

**Success**:
```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "operation": "create-database",
  "handler": "prisma",
  "result": {
    "database_name": "myapp_dev",

    "migrations_applied": 1,
    "migration_table": "_prisma_migrations",
    "client_generated": true
  },
  "message": "Database created and Prisma initialized successfully"
}
```

**Error**:
```json

  "status": "error",
  "operation": "create-database",
  "handler": "prisma",
  "error": "Prisma CLI not found",
  "recovery": {
    "suggestions": [

<DOCUMENTATION>
Document operations by:
1. Logging Prisma CLI version and commands executed
2. Recording migration files created
3. Outputting detailed start/end messages
4. Capturing Prisma CLI output for debugging
5. Returning structured results with file paths
</DOCUMENTATION>

<INTEGRATION>

## Prisma CLI Integration

All operations execute Prisma CLI commands via scripts:

**Scripts Location**: `skills/handler-db-prisma/scripts/`
- `create-database.sh` - Database initialization
- `generate-migration.sh` - Migration generation
- `apply-migration.sh` - Migration deployment
- `check-status.sh` - Status checking
- `validate-schema.sh` - Schema validation

**Prisma Files Managed**:
- `prisma/schema.prisma` - Database schema definition
- `prisma/migrations/` - Migration history
- `.env` - Connection strings (not committed)
- `node_modules/.prisma/client/` - Generated Prisma Client

## Environment Variables

Prisma uses `DATABASE_URL` environment variable:
```bash
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/myapp_dev"
```

This handler maps environment-specific variables to `DATABASE_URL` before Prisma operations:
```bash
# Map DEV_DATABASE_URL to DATABASE_URL for Prisma
export DATABASE_URL="${DEV_DATABASE_URL}"
npx prisma migrate dev
```

</INTEGRATION>

## Operation-Specific Notes

### Create Database
- Runs `prisma init` if schema doesn't exist
- Creates database using `prisma migrate dev --name init`
- Generates Prisma Client with `prisma generate`
- Validates migration table exists

### Generate Migration
- Runs `prisma migrate dev --name <name>` for dev
- Creates migration file in `prisma/migrations/<timestamp>_<name>/`
- Includes both `migration.sql` and metadata

### Apply Migration (Production)
- Uses `prisma migrate deploy` (NOT `migrate dev`)
- Applies pending migrations only
- No interactive prompts
- Idempotent (safe to run multiple times)

### Check Status
- Runs `prisma migrate status`
- Shows pending migrations
- Shows applied migrations
- Detects drift between schema and database

### Rollback Migration
- Prisma doesn't have built-in rollback
- Must manually write down migrations
- Or use custom rollback logic with raw SQL

## Prisma Versions Supported
