Choose and create the right Neon branch type for testing and development. Use when users ask about Neon branching, migration testing with real data, isolated test environments, schema-only branch workflows for sensitive data, or branch creation via Neon CLI or Neon MCP.
Neon Postgres Branching
When to Use
Use this skill when you need choose and create the right Neon branch type for testing and development. Use when users ask about Neon branching, migration testing with real data, isolated test environments, schema-only branch workflows for sensitive data, or branch creation via Neon CLI or Neon MCP. Triggers...
The outcome of this skill should be a created Neon branch (or a clear, actionable next step if creation cannot proceed). Choose the correct branch type, then execute branch creation via MCP or CLI.
- Normal branch for realistic migration and query testing with real data.
- Schema-only branch (Beta) for sensitive data workflows where structure is needed without copying rows.
Branch Type Decision
Use this decision rule first:
- If the user wants to test complex migrations, performance, or behavior against production-like data, choose a normal branch.
- If the user needs to avoid copying sensitive data, choose a schema-only branch.
If the request is ambiguous, ask one clarifying question: "Do you need realistic data for testing, or only schema structure because the data is sensitive?"
Tool Selection: CLI or MCP
Always support both Neon CLI and Neon MCP server. Prefer the tool the user already has installed and authenticated.
