Go Add Migration

Create properly named PostgreSQL migration files for a GOB microservice following all project conventions.

Trigger Phrases

"add migration", "new migration", "criar migration", "nova migration", "create migration"

Arguments

the user's request should specify:

• Service name (e.g., gob-member-service) — required
• Migration type (create_table, add_column, create_index, seed, alter_table, custom) — inferred from description
• Description — what the migration does (e.g., "create notifications table", "add phone column to members", "seed default categories")

Pre-Flight Checks

Before generating files, read:

1. Existing migrations — ls services/{service}/migrations/ to determine the next 3-digit sequence number
2. go.mod — services/{service}/go.mod to confirm the service exists and get module path
3. Schema name — derive from the service-to-schema mapping below

Service-to-Schema Mapping

Service	Schema
gob-auth-service	auth
gob-member-service	member
gob-lodge-service	lodge
gob-session-service	session
gob-process-service	process
gob-election-service	election
gob-bulletin-service	bulletin
gob-partnership-service	partnership
gob-audit-service	audit
gob-report-service	report
gob-notification-service	notification
gob-financial-service	financial
gob-assistance-service	assistance
gob-whatsapp-service	whatsapp
gob-migration-service	migration

If the service is not listed, extract the schema name from the service name by removing the gob- prefix and -service suffix.

Migration Numbering

• List all files in services/{service}/migrations/
• Find the highest existing number prefix (e.g., 012_xxx.up.sql → 12)
• The new migration number is highest + 1, zero-padded to 3 digits (e.g., 013)
• Generate both .up.sql and .down.sql files

File naming: {NNN}_{description_in_snake_case}.up.sql and {NNN}_{description_in_snake_case}.down.sql

Templates by Type

create_table

Up migration:

-- {NNN}: Create {table_name} table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {schema}.{table_name} (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
    -- entity-specific columns here --
    created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
    updated_at TIMESTAMP
);

-- Indexes
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_{table_name}_{column} ON {schema}.{table_name}({column});

-- Comments
COMMENT ON TABLE {schema}.{table_name} IS '{description}';

Down migration:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {schema}.{table_name} CASCADE;

add_column

Up migration:

-- {NNN}: Add {column_name} to {table_name}
ALTER TABLE {schema}.{table_name}
    ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS {column_name} {type} {constraints};

Down migration:

ALTER TABLE {schema}.{table_name}
    DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS {column_name};

create_index

Up migration:

-- {NNN}: Create index on {table_name}.{column}
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_{table_name}_{column} ON {schema}.{table_name}({column});

Down migration:

DROP INDEX IF EXISTS {schema}.idx_{table_name}_{column};

seed

Up migration:

-- {NNN}: Seed {table_name} with default data
INSERT INTO {schema}.{table_name} (col1, col2, ...)
VALUES
    ('value1', 'value2'),
    ('value3', 'value4')
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING;

Down migration:

-- Remove seeded data
DELETE FROM {schema}.{table_name}
WHERE col1 IN ('value1', 'value3');

alter_table (generic ALTER)

Up migration:

-- {NNN}: {description}
ALTER TABLE {schema}.{table_name}
    {alterations};

Down migration:

-- Revert: {description}
ALTER TABLE {schema}.{table_name}
    {reverse_alterations};

Critical Rules

1. Schema prefix: ALWAYS use {schema}.{table_name} (e.g., member.members, process.process_definitions). Never use unqualified table names.

2. CIMs: When inserting CIM values, always use 7-digit zero-padded format. Use LPAD(cim::text, 7, '0') for JOINs with legacy data.

3. Portuguese accents: Always use proper accents in seed data text (e.g., "Administracao" is WRONG, "Administracao" is WRONG, "Administracao" -> use "Administrativo" etc.). Example correct values: "Iniciacao", "Elevacao", "Exaltacao", "Filiacao".

4. Down migrations must be idempotent: Always use IF EXISTS, CASCADE where appropriate. Running down twice must not error.

5. Timestamps: Use TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW() for created_at. Use TIMESTAMP (nullable) for updated_at.

6. UUIDs: Use UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid() for primary keys.

7. Enums: Prefer VARCHAR or TEXT with CHECK constraints over PostgreSQL ENUM types. This avoids migration complexity when adding new values.

8. Foreign keys: Include ON DELETE behavior explicitly (CASCADE, SET NULL, or RESTRICT).

9. Boolean defaults: Always specify DEFAULT false or DEFAULT true for boolean columns.

10. Naming conventions:

    • Tables: snake_case, plural (e.g., members, process_definitions)
    • Columns: snake_case (e.g., lodge_id, created_at)
    • Indexes: idx_{table}_{column} (e.g., idx_members_lodge_id)
    • Unique indexes: uniq_{table}_{column} (e.g., uniq_members_cim)
    • Foreign keys: fk_{table}_{referenced_table} (e.g., fk_members_lodges)

Output

After creating both files:

1. Show the full path and content of both migration files
2. Remind the user to run: make migrate-up SERVICE={service-name} (for local dev)
3. For production: ./scripts/migrate.sh --service={service-name} up
