Can I use database-specific functions like NOW() in migrations?

No, this skill enforces database-agnostic patterns using CFML date functions to ensure your migrations work across MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and other supported engines.

Does it fix the CLI boolean bug?

Yes, the skill is programmed to avoid and correct the common CLI bug where boolean parameters like 'true' are incorrectly generated as strings instead of boolean literals.

Where are the migration files saved by default?

All migrations must be located in the app/migrator/migrations/ directory to be correctly detected by the CFWheels migrator.

How do I apply the migration changes to my database?

Once the migration file is generated, you should reload your Wheels application by visiting your app URL with the ?reload=true parameter.

How does this skill handle soft deletes?

By using the t.timestamps() method, the skill automatically generates createdAt, updatedAt, and deletedAt columns to support standard CFWheels soft-delete logic.
