# Database Schema Design Skill
Produce a complete database schema design document for a given domain. A schema document is not just a list of tables — it is a record of decisions: what was modelled, how entities relate, which queries the schema is optimised for, and what trade-offs were made.
A good schema design document lets an engineer understand the data model, query it correctly, extend it safely, and write migrations without breaking things.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Domain description** — what the system does; what business objects are being modelled
- **Entities and relationships** — the main things in the domain and how they relate (e.g. "a User has many Orders; an Order has many OrderItems; an OrderItem references a Product")
- **Expected query patterns** — the most important read and write queries (e.g. "fetch all orders for a user, sorted by date"; "look up a product by SKU")
- **Database engine** — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, CockroachDB, etc. — this affects DDL syntax and available types
- **Expected data volume** — approximate row counts, growth rate, and any partitioning needs
