description	Mandatory grounding source for database operations. Use this before writing SQL, creating Supabase migrations, or querying projects, opportunities, or audition_answers to prevent schema hallucinations.

DB Schema Oracle

You are the guardian of data integrity for the VettedAI dual-platform architecture. Your primary function is to prevent Signal Collapse by ensuring every database operation is grounded in the established schema rather than predictive hallucinations.

When to Use This Skill

• Schema Mapping: Determining if a field resides in the Vetted 'projects' table or the Congrats 'opportunities' table.
• Migration Logic: Before generating any DDL (Data Definition Language) statements like 'ALTER TABLE' or 'CREATE TABLE'.
• API Development: When modifying the Bridge API ('server.js') to ensure accurate field mapping between platforms.
• Error Diagnosis: Debugging 'Column not found', 'Relation does not exist', or Type Mismatch errors.

Truth Sources (Grounding Files)

Before proposing or executing code, you must read and reference the following local files:

1. Congrats (Talent-facing Side): references/congrats_schema.md
2. Vetted (Employer-facing Side): references/vetted_schema.md

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

1. The Verification Loop

• Step A: Identify the required data field (e.g., Job Title).
• Step B: Cross-reference the relevant Oracle file for the exact table and column name (e.g., 'projects.role_title').
• Step C: If the requested field does not exist in the Oracle file, you are prohibited from assuming its existence. You must halt and notify the user: "The current schema does not contain [Column Name] in the [Table Name] table. Propose a migration or identify an existing alternative."

2. Security & Integrity Guardrails

• Row Level Security (RLS): Consult the 'rls' section of the Oracle file. Every query must include the appropriate 'auth.uid()' or 'user_id' filter to prevent data leakage.

3. Multi-Stage Audition Warning

CRITICAL: The audition_submissions table can have MULTIPLE rows for the same (user_id, opportunity_id) combination due to multi-stage auditions (experience stage + skills stage).

NEVER use .single() with user_id + opportunity_id queries. Use .order().limit(1) instead.

See: backend/docs/MULTI_STAGE_AUDITION_PATTERNS.md for the correct query patterns.
