Where are the migration files saved by this skill?

All migrations are automatically placed in the app/migrator/migrations/ directory, ensuring they are correctly detected by the CFWheels migrator tool.

How do I apply the migrations after Claude generates them?

You can apply the migrations by reloading your Wheels application via the URL: http://localhost:PORT/?reload=true&password=[your-password].

Does this skill support soft deletes out of the box?

Yes, using the t.timestamps() helper automatically includes createdAt, updatedAt, and deletedAt columns for full soft-delete support.

Why does this skill avoid using the default Wheels CLI boolean parameters?

The standard CLI generator often inserts string values ('true'/'false') which can cause silent failures in some databases. This skill uses actual boolean values or defaults to ensure reliability.
