Schema-first design with declarative migrations. Use <code>include</code> for relations, <code>$transaction</code> for atomic operations. Singleton pattern required in development to avoid connection exhaustion. Always use <code>tx</code> (not <code>prisma</code>) inside interactive transaction callbacks.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<hr>\n<p>&lt;critical_requirements&gt;</p>\n<h2>CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill</h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>All code must follow project conventions in CLAUDE.md</strong> (kebab-case, named exports, import ordering, <code>import type</code>, named constants)</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><strong>(You MUST use the singleton pattern for PrismaClient in development to prevent connection exhaustion from hot reloading)</strong></p>\n<p><strong>(You MUST use <code>tx</code> parameter (NOT <code>prisma</code>) inside interactive transaction callbacks to ensure atomicity)</strong></p>\n<p><strong>(You MUST use <code>include</code> or nested <code>select</code> for relational queries - avoid N+1 by fetching relations in the same query)</strong></p>\n<p><strong>(You MUST define <code>@relation</code> with explicit <code>fields</code> and <code>references</code> for all foreign key relationships)</strong></p>\n<p>&lt;/critical_requirements&gt;</p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Auto-detection:</strong> prisma, @prisma/client, PrismaClient, prisma.schema, prisma migrate, findUnique, findMany, include, $transaction</p>\n<p><strong>When to use:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Type-safe database queries with auto-generated TypeScript types</li>\n<li>Schema-first development with declarative migrations</li>\n<li>Applications requiring strong relational data modeling</li>\n<li>Rapid prototyping with Prisma Studio GUI</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>When NOT to use:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Need raw SQL performance for complex queries (Prisma adds overhead)</li>\n<li>Edge/serverless requiring minimal cold start (consider lighter ORMs)</li>\n<li>Non-TypeScript projects (lose primary benefit)</li>\n<li>Need fine-grained control over generated SQL</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Key patterns covered:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>PrismaClient singleton (development hot reload safety)</li>\n<li>CRUD operations with type-safe filters and pagination</li>\n<li>Relational queries with <code>include</code> and nested <code>select</code></li>\n<li>Transactions (nested writes, batch, interactive)</li>\n<li>Schema design (models, relations, enums, indexes)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Detailed Resources:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"examples/core.md\">examples/core.md</a> - Singleton setup, CRUD, filtering, pagination</li>\n<li><a href=\"examples/relations.md\">examples/relations.md</a> - Relational queries, includes, N+1 prevention</li>\n<li><a href=\"examples/transactions.md\">examples/transactions.md</a> - Atomic operations, interactive transactions, error handling</li>\n<li><a href=\"reference.md\">reference.md</a> - Decision frameworks, anti-patterns, performance</li>\n</ul>\n<hr>\n\n<hr>\n\n<hr>\n<p>&lt;red_flags&gt;</p>\n<h2>RED FLAGS</h2>\n<p><strong>High Priority Issues:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating PrismaClient on every import - exhausts database connections during hot reload</li>\n<li>Using <code>prisma</code> instead of <code>tx</code> in interactive transactions - bypasses transaction context</li>\n<li>N+1 queries in loops - use <code>include</code> or <code>select</code> instead</li>\n<li>Missing <code>@relation</code> attributes - ambiguous foreign keys cause migration errors</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Medium Priority Issues:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>No indexes on frequently filtered columns - slow queries as data grows</li>\n<li>Offset pagination on large tables - performance degrades linearly</li>\n<li>Missing <code>onDelete</code> cascade - orphaned records when parent deleted</li>\n<li>Fetching all fields with <code>include</code> when only some needed - use <code>select</code></li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Gotchas &amp;
