name: angora-data description: Quick operations on src/data/data.sqlite — inspect the current schema, add a single column to an existing table via Drizzle migration, seed 2-5 test rows, or run a read-only SELECT/COUNT query. Trigger whenever the user wants a small, single-step database operation. Phrases like 'add a company column to testimonials', 'seed 5 rows into pricing_tiers', 'show me the schema', 'count draft vs published posts grouped by author', 'what's in the media table', 'add a phone column to team_members' all trigger this. For designing new tables or rethinking relationships use angora-schema; for bulk imports from inbox files use angora-import. argument-hint: [command]

Data: $ARGUMENTS

Quick operations on the SQLite content layer (src/data/data.sqlite).

Commands

| Command | Action | |---------|--------| | schema (or no arguments) | Show full database schema (glob src/data/schema/tables/*.ts) | | add column <table> <column> | Add a column to the Drizzle schema, generate and apply migration (confirm first) | | seed <table> | Generate 2-5 realistic sample rows | | query <description> | Run a read-only query and display results |

Schema inspection

Glob src/data/schema/tables/*.ts to discover tables, then read individual files for column details. No need to query the database for structure.

Read-only queries

node -e "
  import db from './src/data/db.ts';
  import { media } from './src/data/schema/tables/media.ts';
  const rows = db.select().from(media).all();
  console.table(rows);
"

Use Drizzle's typed API. Import the relevant table from schema/tables/<table>.ts and use db.select(), .where(), etc.

Schema changes (ALTER TABLE, etc.)

All DDL goes through the Drizzle workflow:

  1. Edit the table's file in src/data/schema/tables/ — add the column to the table definition
  2. Generate migrationpnpm db:generate
  3. Apply migrationpnpm db:migrate

Each step requires user approval.

Seeding data

node -e "
  import db from './src/data/db.ts';
  import { <table> } from './src/data/schema/tables/<table>.ts';
  db.insert(<table>).values([
    { /* row 1 */ },
    { /* row 2 */ },
  ]).run();
  console.log('Seeded.');
"

Rules

  • All schema changes require user approval before executing.
  • Foreign keys are ON — respect referential integrity.
  • Use text() for dates (ISO 8601 format).
  • Use integer() for booleans (0/1).
  • query runs read-only — refuse writes via this command.

For heavier work

This skill is for quick operations. For more involved work, use /angora:

  • Schema design (new tables, relational modeling, SEO fields) → /angora-schema
  • Data import (CSV, JSON from inbox) → /angora-import
  • Media processing (images from inbox) → /angora-media
