Prisma 8 skill

Install

npx prisma orm init
npx prisma skills sync

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The prisma-8 skill ships inside the @prisma/orm-postgres, @prisma/orm-sqlite and @prisma/orm-mongo packages and describes exactly the installed version. SKILL.md is a router: depending on the task it sends the agent to references on getting started, contract authoring, migrations, db.orm and db.sql queries, build tool integration, the Supabase extension and error code lookup. Version upgrades are part of the skill and rely on recipes shipped with each release. Every reference has a section on what Prisma 8 does not do yet, so the agent does not invent APIs.

Who it is for. For TypeScript developers starting a project on Prisma 8 or moving to it.

Example request

Add an orders model related to users to the contract and apply the migration

Limitations

Prisma 8 is still a release candidate and may break compatibility between versions. The skill installs at project level only. A copy installed through npx skills straight from GitHub does not update itself.

How to disable. Remove the prisma-8 folders from .claude/skills, .cursor/skills and .agents/skills in the project root.

Security check

• Following the skill, the agent applies migrations to the database

README in short

The README presents Prisma 8 as a TypeScript rewrite of the ORM designed for work with agents. New projects start from a template, existing ones use npx prisma orm init, and then npx prisma skills sync installs the skills. The skill and a prisma-8.md primer land in Claude Code, Cursor, Devin and shared .agents folders. Apache 2.0 licensed.

name: prisma-8
description: >-
  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).
