name: scaffold-migration description: Automates the creation of Laravel Migrations using anonymous classes, correct foreign key constraints, and UUIDs where applicable.

Laravel Migration Scaffold Skill

Use this skill when creating database table definitions.

Rules

1. Anonymous Classes

• Always use return new class extends Migration.

2. Foreign Keys

• Standard: Use foreignIdFor() constrained to the model class.

  Copy$table->foreignIdFor(\App\Models\User::class)->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
  

• Nullable: usage of ->nullable() comes before constrained().

3. ID and UUIDs

• Check if the project or related models use UUIDs.
• If UUID: $table->uuid('id')->primary();
• If ID: $table->id();

4. Indexing

• Add indexes to columns that will be frequently searched or used in WHERE clauses (e.g., slug, email, status).

Workflow

1. Ask: "Does this table relate to existing models?"
2. If yes, check the parent model's ID type (int or uuid) to ensure the foreign key matches.
3. Write the migration file.
