Does it support soft deletes in CFWheels?

Yes, the skill uses the t.timestamps() method which automatically includes createdAt, updatedAt, and deletedAt columns to support Wheels soft delete functionality.

Is the generated code cross-database compatible?

Yes, the skill is designed to avoid database-specific SQL functions (like NOW() or CURDATE()) and uses CFML-based date formatting to ensure compatibility across MySQL, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.

How do I apply the changes after a migration is created?

After the file is created, you should reload the Wheels framework by calling your application URL with the reload parameter, for example: http://localhost:PORT/?reload=true.

Where are the migration files saved by this skill?

All migrations are automatically placed in 'app/migrator/migrations/' to ensure they are properly detected by the CFWheels framework migrator.

Does this fix the CFWheels CLI boolean bug?

Yes, it intentionally avoids string-based boolean parameters ('true'/'false') that cause silent failures in standard CLI-generated migrations, favoring clean defaults instead.

Database Management

Generates database-agnostic CFWheels migrations for schema management, table modification, and data versioning.

The Wheels Migration Generator is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for developers working with the CFWheels framework. It automates the creation of migration files for creating tables, altering schemas, and managing seed data while ensuring strict adherence to cross-database compatibility and proper file directory structure. By preventing common anti-patterns—such as incorrect directory placement, duplicate timestamps, or database-specific SQL functions—it ensures that migrations remain portable and stable across different database engines like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server.

Key Features

01Generates database-agnostic migration files for the CFWheels framework.

02Fixes known CLI generator bugs related to string-boolean parameter failures.

03Ensures cross-database date formatting using CFML logic instead of DB-specific SQL.

04Enforces correct migration file placement in app/migrator/migrations/ automatically.

050 GitHub stars

06Provides robust boilerplate for transactions and error handling in up/down methods.

Use Cases

01Initial database schema design and table creation for CFWheels applications.

02Modifying existing production tables by adding columns, indexes, or foreign keys.

03Creating cross-platform seed data migrations using database-agnostic logic.
