description:
Manage SQL database migrations as plain .sql files with a transaction log. Use
when asked about sql-migrate, database migrations, or how to set up migration
tooling.

# sql-migrate (CLI)
The agent skill is embedded in the help output.
Run `sql-migrate --help` use its output to guide usage decisions.
The `up`, `down`, and `sync` subcommands produce POSIX shell scripts - pipe them
to `sh` to run.
## Migration layout
Migrations follow the naming format
`<yyyy-mm-dd>-<number>_<name>.<up|down>.sql`:
```
sql/
├── migrations.log # transaction log (auto-managed)
└── migrations/
├── 0001-01-01-001000_init-migrations.up.sql # generated by 'init'
├── 2021-02-03-001000_init-app.up.sql
├── 2021-02-03-001000_init-app.down.sql
└── ...
```
The initial migration file contains configuration variables:
```sql
-- migrations_log: ./sql/migrations.log
-- sql_command: psql "$PG_URL" -v ON_ERROR_STOP=on --no-align --tuples-only --file %s
```
## Migration file structure
The migration files contain their own management, including a randomly-generated
id:
```sql
-- change_me (up)
SELECT 'place your UP migration here';
-- leave this as the last line
INSERT INTO _migrations (name, id) VALUES ('2026-05-27-002000_change_me', 'e22295e5');
```
## Environment variables by database
- PostgreSQL: `PG_URL` (auth URL), `PGOPTIONS` (set `schema` and other options)
- SQLite3: `SQLITE_PATH`
- SQL Server: `SQLCMDSERVER`, `SQLCMDDATABASE`, `SQLCMDUSER`, `SQLCMDPASSWORD`
- MySQL / MariaDB: `MY_CNF` (path to `my.cnf` containing credentials)
## SQL client extensibility
The `--sql-command` flag tells sql-migrate how to talk to your database. Known
clients (`psql`, `sqlite3`, `sqlcmd`, `mariadb`/`mysql`) have correct options
applied automatically. Since migrations run via shell commands, you can make
sql-migrate compatible with any SQL client by setting `sql_command` in the init
migration file.
