name: Backend Migrations description: Manage changes to data structure and formats in JSON files, ensuring compatibility and smooth transitions when updating the static site's data sources. Use this skill when modifying data schemas, updating JSON structures, or evolving how data is consumed.

Backend Migrations

This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how to adhere to coding standards as they relate to how it should handle data migrations in the adigunners.github.io static website project.

When to use this skill

• Adding new fields to JSON data structures in the data/ directory while maintaining backward compatibility
• Updating existing data files to support new content or features on the website
• Refactoring data schema to improve organization or performance without breaking existing JavaScript modules
• Creating migration scripts to transform old data format to new format (using Node.js utilities)
• Documenting data structure changes so developers understand how to update pages that consume the data
• Testing data compatibility when JavaScript modules expect certain properties in JSON objects
• Planning gradual rollouts of data structure changes to avoid breaking the site's data consumption layer
