Review database schemas AND in-code data structures for correctness, integrity, performance, scalability, evolvability, simplicity, and design quality. Audits Ecto schemas, Postgres DDL/migrations, dbt models, and application types (Elixir structs/typespecs, TypeScript types). Use when: '/schema-review', 'review this schema', 'review this migration', 'review this data model', 'is this schema sound', 'audit this table design', 'review these types', 'is this over-engineered', 'will this schema scale', 'data structure review', 'check this migration is safe'. Adaptive execution: single-pass for a handful of objects, parallel multi-agent fan-out when the review surface exceeds a few line items. Draft-only — never auto-posts.

From the source SKILL.md

A rigorous, multi-lens review engine for persistence schemas (Ecto, Postgres DDL, migrations, dbt models) and in-code data structures (Elixir structs/typespecs, TypeScript types, collection choices). It evaluates a target across seven lenses, scores findings by severity and confidence, and produces a draft findings report. It never posts anywhere on its own.

What this skill does

Schema Review is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the databases sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/schema-review/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when: '/schema-review', 'review this schema', 'review this migration', 'review this data model', 'is this schema sound', 'audit this table design', 'review these types', 'is this over-engineered', 'will this schema scale', 'data structure review', 'check this migration is safe'. Adaptive execution: single-pass for a handful of objects, parallel multi-agent fan-out when the review surface exceeds a few line items.
