Prisma CLI Reference

Reference for Prisma ORM CLI commands. This skill provides guidance on command usage, options, and best practices for current Prisma ORM releases.

Boundary: Platform and Compute

Do not confuse the stable ORM command (prisma) with the public-beta Platform package (@prisma/cli, binary prisma-cli). Use prisma-compute for Compute apps and workspace auth, and prisma-postgres for Platform projects and databases.

When to Apply

Reference this skill when:

• Setting up a new Prisma project (prisma init)
• Generating Prisma Client (prisma generate)
• Running database migrations (prisma migrate)
• Managing database state (prisma db push/pull)
• Using local development database (prisma dev)
• Debugging Prisma issues (prisma debug)
