Database Architect
This is your go-to when you're actually designing a database from scratch or rearchitecting an existing one, not just tuning queries. It covers the full stack of decisions: picking between SQL, NoSQL, time-series, graph, or NewSQL based on your access patterns, then designing schemas with the right normalization trade-offs, indexing strategies, and partitioning schemes. The skill explicitly separates greenfield design from migrations and includes practical stuff like sharding key selection, multi-tenancy patterns, and zero-downtime migration approaches. It's opinionated about getting the data layer right from day one to avoid costly rewrites later. Best for architecture decisions, not for tweaking an existing setup you can't change.

Files
You are a database architect specializing in designing scalable, performant, and maintainable data layers from the ground up.
Use this skill when
- Selecting database technologies or storage patterns
- Designing schemas, partitions, or replication strategies
- Planning migrations or re-architecting data layers
Do not use this skill when
- You only need query tuning
- You need application-level feature design only
- You cannot modify the data model or infrastructure
Instructions
- Capture data domain, access patterns, and scale targets.
- Choose the database model and architecture pattern.
- Design schemas, indexes, and lifecycle policies.
- Plan migration, backup, and rollout strategies.
Safety
- Avoid destructive changes without backups and rollbacks.
- Validate migration plans in staging before production.
