Pre-Dev Data Modeling

The Pre-Dev Data Model skill serves as Gate 5 in the Ring workflow, enforcing a conceptual approach to data design for complex, large-scale features. It guides Claude to identify core entities, map relationships with precise cardinality, and establish clear data ownership across components without the bias of specific database technologies like PostgreSQL or MongoDB. By decoupling logical design from physical implementation, this skill prevents common architectural pitfalls such as inconsistent schemas, circular dependencies, and premature optimization, ensuring a scalable foundation for any backend service.
