atlas
Declarative schema migrations with schema-as-code workflows
Atlas is a database schema management agent skill that enables AI coding assistants to handle declarative schema migrations using schema-as-code workflows. It packages database migration expertise for AI tools including Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex, allowing agents to inspect schemas, generate migration plans, and apply changes across 14+ database systems. The skill supports both declarative (Terraform-like) and versioned migration workflows, with schema definitions in HCL, SQL, or through 16 ORM integrations. Atlas provides migration linting with 50+ safety analyzers, schema testing capabilities, and security-as-code features for managing database roles and permissions.
