/claude-db:start

The front door for someone with zero artifacts — no schema, no migrations, no database. It asks a short, plain-language wizard and ends with a concrete recommendation. No jargon: no "normalization", "cardinality", or "partition key" in the questions.

$ARGUMENTS = an optional one-line description. If present, pre-fill what you can and skip questions already answered.

How to run it

Follow the 7-question wizard in references/design-wizard.md (the canonical question set and the mapping from answers → paradigm/engine). Ask the questions conversationally, one cluster at a time, in plain words — roughly:

1. What are you building, in one sentence?
2. What are the main things you'll store (people, orders, messages, posts…)?
3. How do those things relate to each other?
4. What will you do most — look one thing up, list/search many, or crunch numbers over lots of rows?
5. How much data and how many users, roughly (a hobby project, a startup, or huge)?
6. Any hard rules — must never lose a record, must be fast above all, has to handle money or personal data?
7. What are you comfortable running or paying for (managed/serverless vs self-hosted)?
