Dev Prisma

Prisma ORM (pointer)

Prisma publishes the canonical agent skill at prisma/skills — maintained by the Prisma team, in sync with v7 (ESM-only, driver adapters, prisma.config.ts). The vendor reference stays current with every release; the prior foundation skill (418 lines) drifted on each Prisma version bump.

Recipe entry: [docs/recipes/recommended-vendor-skills.md](../../../docs/recipes/recommended-vendor-skills.md) §"Prisma — prisma/skills". Reduction rationale: [specs/foundation-positioning-review/spec.md](../../../specs/foundation-positioning-review/spec.md) Wave 1.

Foundation-unique angle preserved: cross-cutting discipline

The vendor covers the Prisma API surface. The foundation enforces version-agnostic conventions that survive across releases:

• Security: never select: { passwordHash: true } or any sensitive column without explicit need; default to select over include for security + perf — cross-ref .claude/rules/security.md.
• TDD with a real DB: integration tests hit a real test database (Docker Compose pattern), never a Prisma mock — cross-ref the dev-tdd skill.
• Postgres interop: if the stack uses Supabase, Prisma operates against the same Postgres — cross-ref the dev-supabase skill (Supabase RLS coexists with Prisma queries).

Foundation rules preserved

• NEVER use prisma migrate dev in production. Always prisma migrate deploy.
• prisma generate MUST run after every schema change. Add it to the CI build step.
• Singleton PrismaClient (HMR-safe globalThis pattern in dev) — avoid connection leaks.
• YOU MUST add an index on every foreign key and on every column in frequent WHERE clauses.
• YOU MUST use select instead of include when you know the fields (security + perf).
• NEVER commit .env with DATABASE_URL. Always .env.example with placeholders.
• NEVER rename a field in one migration. Two steps: add new column → backfill → remove old column (avoids prod downtime).
