Review Data Release

Use this skill before shipping migrations, backfills, or schema/data-shape changes.

Checklist

• Migration safety and rollback strategy
• Data mapping integrity and orphan risk
• Backfill safety and idempotence
• Release sequencing and post-deploy verification queries

Rails Touchpoints

• Validate migration reversibility and lock risk (table size/index impact).
• Confirm model/schema compatibility during rolling deploys.
• Verify background backfills are idempotent and retry-safe.
• Ensure strong params and serializers align with schema changes.
• Provide concrete post-deploy checks (db:migrate:status, verification queries).

Context Discipline

• Start from changed migrations/models/jobs and only expand if coupled systems are affected.
