SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Developers working with Prisma ORM need accurate, up-to-date guidance on CLI commands like init, generate, migrate, and db push, including correct flags, current v7 behavior, and safety rules for destructive operations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Command Reference: Covers the full Prisma ORM CLI surface including init, generate, migrate dev/deploy/reset/status/diff/resolve, db pull/push/seed/execute, dev, studio, validate, format, debug, complete, and mcp. - AI Safety Checkpoint: Documents the consent workflow required before destructive commands like migrate reset or db push --force-reset when an AI agent is detected. - Current v7 Behavior: Explains prisma.config.ts setup, explicit generate and seed follow-ups, Bun runtime flags, and the boundary between the ORM CLI and the Platform CLI. - Use Case: When setting up a new project, follow the init reference to scaffold prisma.config.ts, run prisma dev for a local Postgres database, then apply migrate dev and generate the client. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show how to create and apply a named Prisma migration and then regenerate the client for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions about prisma-cli

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create and apply a Prisma migration in development?▼

Run prisma migrate dev with an optional --name flag to create and apply a migration from your schema changes. It uses a shadow database for drift detection, and you should run prisma generate explicitly afterward when you need refreshed client output.

What is the difference between prisma db push and prisma migrate dev?▼

db push syncs the schema directly without creating migration files or history, making it suited for prototyping and MongoDB. migrate dev creates tracked migration files with rollback capability and is the right choice for team development and production-bound changes.

How do I run Prisma CLI with Bun?▼

Use bunx --bun before Prisma commands, such as bunx --bun prisma init or bunx --bun prisma generate. The --bun flag ensures Prisma runs with the Bun runtime instead of falling back to Node.js because of the CLI shebang.

Why is prisma migrate reset blocked when an AI agent runs it?▼

Prisma detects AI agent environments and blocks destructive commands like migrate reset and db push --force-reset until the user gives explicit consent. The agent must explain the data-loss impact, obtain consent immediately before running, and pass the exact consent text via PRISMA_USER_CONSENT_FOR_DANGEROUS_AI_ACTION.

Does prisma migrate dev automatically run generate and seed?▼

No, in current Prisma versions migrate dev does not automatically regenerate the client or run seeds. Run prisma generate and prisma db seed explicitly after migrations when you need refreshed client output or seed data.

When should I use prisma migrate deploy instead of migrate dev?▼

Use migrate deploy in production, staging, and CI/CD pipelines because it only applies pending migrations without prompts or a shadow database. Never use migrate dev in production since it can prompt for resets and create new migrations.
