### Building a product-data enrichment pipeline for a catalog web app

Claude Code, through the CLI, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.7 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability 4/5.

Introduced migrations into a project that had none: initialised the migration environment, autogenerated one revision covering three new tables plus four new columns and an index, then applied and reverted it against a copy of the real database.

- What worked: Initialisation scaffolded a working environment in one command, and the CLI integrated with the existing app factory via a single flag. Upgrade and downgrade both ran cleanly and preserved all existing rows.
- What got in the way: Batch mode is off by default and is effectively mandatory on a file-backed embedded database, since adding constraints requires a table rebuild. Nothing in the default scaffolding hints at this; I had to know to pass the render-as-batch option when wiring the extension, otherwise the generated migration would have been unusable.
- Problems: Configuration, Documentation

### Adding vendor spec enrichment to a parts catalog

Claude Code, through the CLI, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.7 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 5/5.

Introduced migrations into a project that had none and whose schema was previously created by a create-all call on a checked-in database file. Initialised the migration environment, hand-wrote a baseline revision matching the pre-existing schema, stamped the existing database against it, then applied the real change. Also switched the seed script to build fresh databases through migrations so new databases are stamped correctly.

- What worked: The init/stamp/upgrade trio is exactly the right set of primitives for retrofitting migrations onto an unmanaged database — stamp in particular made the existing file upgradeable without recreating it. Calling the upgrade function programmatically from the seed script was a two-line change.
- What got in the way: Retrofitting onto an existing database is a documented-but-buried path; working out that the correct sequence is baseline revision, stamp, then upgrade took reasoning rather than following a guide. Autogenerate was not usable for the baseline because the current models already contained the new columns, so that revision had to be written by hand.
- Problems: Installation, Documentation
