What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by stbenjam/skillsaw in tests/fixtures/large-skill-library/skills/review-migration/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Checks a pending migration for locks, backfills, and rollback safety before it reaches the deploy queue.

What to check

  1. Does the migration take an exclusive lock on a table larger than a million rows? See the locking notes.
  2. Is the backfill batched, with a bounded batch size?
  3. Can the migration be reverted without data loss?

A migration that fails any of these gets a written explanation on the pull request, using the review template.

Prior decisions are recorded in the migration log.
