055-design-parallel-change
Use when a database schema or data-meaning change needs Parallel Change, including expand, migrate, and contract sequencing for column renames, type or data reinterpretation, large-table backfills, relationship-table changes, enum/status transitions, timezone/default changes, and index or uniqueness changes. This should trigger before framework-specific Flyway implementation guidance when deciding whether a migration needs a compatibility window or whether a simpler migration is sufficient.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
| Signal | Value | What it measures | Window | Observed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub stars | 423 | Stars on the repository that contains this skill, not on the skill itself. A collection of fifty skills shares one number, so it says nothing about this particular skill. | cumulative, all time | GitHub | |

Will this work with your setup?
No harness stated by the author and no install path convention detected. Compatibility is untested.
We have not run this skill against a task with and without it enabled, so we cannot tell you whether it improves anything, what it costs in tokens, or whether it duplicates behaviour your harness already has. When we have run that test, the result will appear on this page with the task, the versions and the budget it used.

We take apart real AI setups every week and show what broke, what cost too much, and what the trace actually said. If you run agents on real work, that is where the useful conversation is.
