prisma-cli

```

### Client Generation

```bash
# Generate Prisma Client
prisma generate

# Watch mode for development
prisma generate --watch

# Generate specific generator only
prisma generate --generator client
```

### Bun Runtime

When using Bun, always add the `--bun` flag so Prisma runs with the Bun runtime (otherwise it falls back to Node.js because of the CLI shebang):

```bash
bunx --bun prisma init
bunx --bun prisma generate
```

### Local Development Database

```bash
# Start local Prisma Postgres
prisma dev

# Start with specific name
prisma dev --name myproject

# Start in background (detached)
prisma dev --detach

# List all local instances
prisma dev ls

# Stop instance
prisma dev stop myproject

# Remove instance data
prisma dev rm myproject
```

### Database Operations

```bash
# Pull schema from existing database
prisma db pull

# Push schema to database (no migrations)
prisma db push

# Seed database
prisma db seed

# Execute raw SQL
prisma db execute --file ./script.sql
```

### Migrations (Development)

```bash
# Create and apply migration
prisma migrate dev

# Create migration with name
prisma migrate dev --name add_users_table

# Create migration without applying
prisma migrate dev --create-only

# Reset database and apply all migrations
prisma migrate reset
```

### Migrations (Production)

```bash
# Apply pending migrations (CI/CD)
prisma migrate deploy

# Check migration status
prisma migrate status

# Compare schemas and generate diff
prisma migrate diff --from-config-datasource --to-schema schema.prisma --script
```

### Utility Commands

```bash
# Open Prisma Studio (database GUI)
prisma studio

# Start Prisma's MCP server for AI tools
prisma mcp

# Show version info
prisma version
prisma -v

# Debug information
prisma debug

# Validate schema
prisma validate

# Format schema
prisma format

# Generate shell completion code
prisma complete zsh
```

## AI Safety Checkpoint

Prisma blocks destructive commands when it detects an AI agent until the agent has obtained explicit user consent. This covers `migrate reset`, `db push --force-reset`, and `db push --accept-data-loss`.

- Explain the exact data-loss impact and ask for consent immediately before running the command.
- Do not infer consent from earlier or unrelated messages.
- If automation needs the consent variable, set `PRISMA_USER_CONSENT_FOR_DANGEROUS_AI_ACTION` to the user's exact consent message. Do not invent the text.
- The Prisma MCP server deliberately has no `migrate-reset` tool.

Read `references/agent-safety.md` before any destructive Prisma command.

## Current Prisma CLI Setup

### New Configuration File

Use `prisma.config.ts` for CLI configuration:

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config'
import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'

export default defineConfig({
  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
  migrations: {
    path: 'prisma/migrations',
    seed: 'tsx prisma/seed.ts',
  },
  datasource: {
    url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
  },
})
```

### Current Command Behavior

- Run `prisma generate` explicitly after `migrate dev`, `db push`, or other schema syncs when you need fresh client output
- Run `prisma db seed` explicitly after `migrate dev` or `migrate reset` when you need seed data
- Use `prisma db execute --file ...` for raw SQL scripts

### Environment Variables

Load environment variables explicitly in `prisma.config.ts`, commonly with `dotenv`:

```typescript
// prisma.config.ts
import 'dotenv/config'
```
