Prisma

Use when working in a project that depends on @prisma/orm-postgres, @prisma/orm-sqlite, or @prisma/orm-mongo (Prisma 8, formerly Prisma Next): editing contract.prisma or a contract.ts builder, running `prisma contract emit`, planning or applying migrations, editing migration.ts, writing db.orm / db.sql / db.query queries, wiring db.ts or middleware, integrating a build tool, using the Supabase extension or RLS, or reading a dotted error code such as MIGRATION.HASH_MISMATCH. Use when the user asks "what is Prisma 8", "where do I start", or compares it to another ORM. Use when the user asks to upgrade or bump Prisma 8 in an app or an extension package. Use when you see @internal/* or @prisma/orm-* imports, prisma.config.ts with definePrismaConfig, or contract.json / contract.d.ts. Do not use for Prisma ORM 7 or earlier (schema.prisma + @prisma/client).

Complete migration guide from Prisma ORM v6 to v7 covering all breaking changes. Use when upgrading Prisma versions, encountering v7 errors, or migrating existing projects. Triggers on "upgrade to prisma 7", "prisma 7 migration", "prisma-client generator", "driver adapter required".

Set up a new Prisma Postgres database and connect it to a local project using the Management API. Use when asked to "set up a database", "create a Prisma Postgres project", "get a connection string", "connect my app to Prisma Postgres", or "provision a database".

Prisma Postgres setup and operations guidance across Console, create-db CLI, Management API, and Management API SDK. Use when creating Prisma Postgres databases, working in Prisma Console, provisioning with create-db/create-pg/create-postgres, or integrating programmatic provisioning with service tokens or OAuth.

Decision and migration guide for Prisma ORM MongoDB projects on v6, which have no upgrade path to v7. Use when a MongoDB project asks about upgrading Prisma, when "upgrade to prisma 7" comes up in a project with provider = "mongodb", or when evaluating a move to Prisma Next. Triggers on "upgrade prisma mongodb", "prisma 7 mongodb", "mongodb prisma migration", "prisma next mongodb".

Required reference for Prisma ORM 7 SQL driver adapter work. Use when implementing or modifying adapters, adding database drivers, or touching SqlDriverAdapter, Transaction, savepoint, result mapping, or DriverAdapterError behavior. Covers current transaction lifecycle, optional savepoint hooks, original database-error preservation, and verification.

Guides for configuring Prisma with different database providers (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, etc.). Use when setting up a new project, changing databases, or troubleshooting connection issues. Triggers on "configure postgres", "connect to mysql", "setup mongodb", "sqlite setup".

Prisma Compute deployment and hosting guide. Use whenever the user mentions Prisma Compute, `prisma.compute.ts`, `defineComputeConfig`, deploying or hosting a Prisma app, `@prisma/cli app deploy`, `compute:deploy`, `create-prisma --deploy`, `PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN`, Compute auth/workspaces, apps/deployments/build logs/domains, localhost vs `0.0.0.0`, deploy port binding, or framework deploy readiness for Hono, Elysia, Next.js, TanStack Start, Astro, Nuxt, Svelte, Nest, Turborepo, or custom/prebuilt artifacts.

Prisma Client API reference covering model queries, filters, operators, and client methods. Use when writing database queries, using CRUD operations, filtering data, or configuring Prisma Client. Triggers on "prisma query", "findMany", "create", "update", "delete", "$transaction".

Prisma ORM CLI commands reference covering init, generate, migrate, db, dev, complete, studio, validate, format, debug, and mcp. Use for ORM/database CLI workflows, not the Prisma Platform CLI. Triggers on "prisma init", "prisma generate", "prisma migrate", "prisma db", "prisma complete", "prisma studio", "prisma mcp".

Use Prisma Next with a Supabase project via `@prisma-next/extension-supabase` — wire `extensions: [supabasePack]`, declare cross-space FKs to `supabase:auth.AuthUser`, author RLS policies (`policy_select` / `policy_update` / `@@rls`, `auth.uid()` predicates), build `db.ts` with the `supabase()` factory, bind roles per request (`asUser(jwt)` / `asAnon()` / `asServiceRole()`), query `auth.*` / `storage.*` via the `db.asServiceRole().supabase` admin root, and validate JWTs (`jwksUrl` for current projects / `jwtSecret` for legacy HS256). Use for supabase, RLS, row level security, policy, role binding, anon, authenticated, service_role, auth.users, auth.uid(), JWT, JWKS, SUPABASE_JWKS_URL, SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET, SUPABASE.JWT_INVALID, SUPABASE.CONFIG_INVALID, RoleBoundDb, session pooler, supabase:auth.AuthUser, @prisma-next/extension-supabase.

Wire the Prisma Next runtime — `db.ts` setup using `postgres<Contract>(...)` from `@prisma-next/postgres/runtime`, `sqlite<Contract>(...)` from `@prisma-next/sqlite/runtime`, or `mongo<Contract>(...)` from `@prisma-next/mongo/runtime`; middleware composition (telemetry from `@prisma-next/middleware-telemetry`; lints and budgets), `DATABASE_URL` config, per-environment branching, switching between Postgres, SQLite, and Mongo façades. Use for db.ts, postgres(), sqlite(), mongo(), middleware, telemetry, lints, budgets, DATABASE_URL, .env, connection pool, poolOptions, dev vs prod config, transactions, db.transaction, read replicas, multi-database, script won't exit, hangs, close connection, db.end, db.close, pool.end, [Symbol.asyncDispose], await using.

Adopt Prisma Next into a new project, onto an existing database, or as the first move after a bootstrap tool dropped you into a scaffold. Use for "what can I do with Prisma Next", "what can I do next with Prisma", "where do I start", "what should I do first", "just ran createprisma", "createprisma", "npx createprisma", "npx create-prisma", "first steps", "first query", "I have a scaffolded Prisma Next project what now"; for `pnpm dlx prisma-next init` greenfield setup; and for `prisma-next contract infer` + `db sign` against an existing database. Also covers the connect-write-read first-arc orientation, the day-to-day commands (`contract emit`, `db init`, `db update`, `migration plan`, `migrate`, `db schema`, `db verify`), and routing to `prisma-next-contract` / `prisma-next-queries` / `prisma-next-runtime` for the next move. Flags: --target, --authoring, --schema-path, --probe-db, --output.

Write Prisma Next queries for Postgres, SQLite, or Mongo — pick a lane (Postgres/SQLite `db.orm.<Model>` + `db.sql.<table>`; Mongo `db.orm.<root>` + `db.query.from(...)` pipeline builder), filter / project / sort / paginate, eager-load with `.include(...)`, Postgres/SQLite `db.transaction(...)`, Postgres/SQLite ORM `.aggregate(...)`, Mongo aggregations via query builder, namespace-aware accessors (`db.orm.<ns>.<Model>`, `db.sql.<ns>.<table>`). Triggers: query, where, match, select, project, orderBy, take, skip, include, lookup, first, all, count, aggregate, group, create, update, delete, upsert, returning, transaction, db.close, script teardown, variant, polymorphism, drizzle-style, kysely-style. Notes: `.all()` is a Thenable (just `await` it), iterators are single-use (`RUNTIME.ITERATOR_CONSUMED`), Postgres `count` is `number` while sum/avg/min/max are `number | null`, ranges use chained `.where()` or `and(...)` (no `.between(...)`).

Author Prisma Next migrations — choose db update vs migration plan, edit the framework-rendered migration.ts (replace placeholder sentinels with dataTransform closures), recover from MIGRATION.HASH_MISMATCH or PN-MIG-2001 unfilled placeholder. Use for prisma migrate dev, prisma migrate deploy, prisma db push, db update, db update --dry-run, migration plan, migrate, migration new, migration show, db verify, db sign, data migration, this.dataTransform, dataTransform, placeholder, generated migration.ts, edit migration.ts, MIGRATION.HASH_MISMATCH, schema drift.

Review what Prisma Next migrations will run on merge or deploy, render the migration graph, resolve concurrent / diamond-convergence conflicts, and configure environment refs for CI. Use for "what migrations are going to run", "what runs on deploy", merge conflict, diamond convergence, concurrent migrations, migration status, ref management, staging, production, MIGRATION.DIVERGED, MIGRATION.NO_MARKER, MIGRATION.MARKER_NOT_IN_HISTORY, prisma migrate status, prisma migrate diff, prisma migrate resolve.

Hand a Prisma Next question or report off to the team — file a GitHub issue (bug or feature request), or route Q&A / design discussion / direct-team-contact to the Prisma Discord at pris.ly/discord. Use for bug, bug report, file an issue, report a bug, feature request, missing feature, this should be a feature, file this, this is a bug, this is broken, surprising behaviour, this doesn't work, file feedback, send feedback, capability gap, file via prisma-next-feedback, ask the team, talk to the team, talk to the Prisma team, talk to Prisma, Discord, Prisma Discord, Q&A, design feedback, is this the intended way, how should I do X, extension author question, extension author needs help.

Read a Prisma Next structured error envelope and route to the right recovery — code, domain, severity, why, fix, meta. Use for error, exception, my emit failed, my query won't typecheck, my query crashed, my migration won't apply, MIGRATION.HASH_MISMATCH, BUDGET.ROWS_EXCEEDED, BUDGET.TIME_EXCEEDED, RUNTIME.ABORTED, PLAN.HASH_MISMATCH, CONTRACT.MARKER_MISSING, PN-RUN-3001, PN-RUN-3002, PN-RUN-3030, PN-MIG-2001, PN-CLI-4011, PN-SCHEMA-0001, drift, capability missing, planner conflict, prisma studio, EXPLAIN, query log, db.end, db.close, script won't exit, hangs, close connection, pool.end, client is closed.

Edit the Prisma Next data contract — add models, fields, relations, indexes, enums, value objects (composite types), type aliases, namespaces (Postgres schemas), cross-contract foreign keys (cross-space FK), polymorphic types (`@@discriminator` / `@@base`), use extension namespaces (`pgvector.Vector(...)`, `cipherstash.EncryptedString(...)`), wire `prisma-next.config.ts` with `defineConfig` from the `@prisma-next/<target>/config` façade, and run `prisma-next contract emit`. Use for schema, models, fields, attributes, soft delete, paranoid, scopes, validations, callbacks, prisma schema, PSL, contract.prisma, contract.ts, contract.json, contract.d.ts, `@prisma-next/postgres/config`, `@prisma-next/postgres/contract-builder`, `@prisma-next/postgres/control`, `@prisma-next/mongo/config`, `@prisma-next/mongo/contract-builder`, `extensions:`, pgvector, cipherstash, postgis, paradedb, supabase, `@prisma-next/extension-supabase`, `@@control`, control policy, managed, tolerated, external, observed.

Wire Prisma Next into the project's build system with the right build-tool plugin — Vite today via @prisma-next/vite-plugin-contract-emit (Vite 7 / 8); Next.js / Webpack / esbuild / Rollup / Turbopack are named as gaps rather than fabricated. Always offers the Vite plugin proactively when the project is using Vite. Use for vite plugin, vite-plugin, vite.config.ts, prismaVitePlugin, contract emit on save, HMR, hot reload contract, dev server, Next.js plugin, next plugin, withPrismaNext, webpack plugin, esbuild plugin, rollup plugin, build integration, dev server plugin, vite 7, vite 8.

Route a vague Prisma Next prompt to the right specific skill. Use for "help me with Prisma Next", "what is Prisma Next", "explain Prisma Next", "I'm new to PN", "where do I start", "what can I do with Prisma Next", "what can I do next with Prisma", "just ran createprisma", "tour of Prisma Next", "Prisma Next overview", and comparison questions like "Prisma Next vs Prisma 7", "PN vs Drizzle", "PN vs Kysely", "PN vs TypeORM". Do NOT use when the prompt clearly matches a workflow skill — adoption / quickstart / first-touch orientation / brownfield introspection, schema / contract editing, migration authoring (db update / migration plan / migrate), migration review on deploy / concurrent migrations, queries / db.orm / db.sql / TypedSQL, Supabase / RLS / role binding, runtime / db.ts / middleware wiring, build / Vite plugin / Next.js plugin, debug / structured error envelopes / PN-* error codes, or feedback / bug report / feature request — load that sibling skill directly.
