About This Skill
The nocobase-data-modeling skill enables AI agents to programmatically inspect and modify data models within NocoBase applications. It handles the creation and management of collections, fields, relations, and view-backed schemas — the foundational layer of any NocoBase database. This skill is essential for developers and data architects who need to automate data model design, establish relationships between entities, and configure the structural backbone of their applications. By integrating with Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI agent CLIs, it allows teams to define complex data architectures through natural language instructions, significantly accelerating the data modeling phase of application development.

}
],
"relations": [
{
"name": "customer",
"type": "belongsTo",
"target": "customers",
"sourceKey": "customerId",
"targetKey": "id"
}
]
}
```
**Migration Plan**
1. **Backup**: Take a backup of the `orders` collection before making changes.
2. **Add Fields**: Use the NocoBase admin panel to add `shippingAddress` (JSON type) and `paymentMethod` (enum).
3. **Update Relations**: Ensure the `customerId` field is correctly linked to the `customers` collection.
4. **Test**: Validate the schema changes in a staging environment before applying to production.
5. **Deploy**: Apply the changes and monitor for errors in production.Find the right skills for your stack
