Real A/B on a legacy-schema invoice mapping: the baseline write manually freed the many-to-one association and used TObjectList with OwnsObjects=True — exactly the two Aurelius lifetime bugs the skill exists to prevent; the skill-guided version used Proxy<T>, a plain TList<T> container, and a RegisterEntity call, correctly avoiding both. Two diagram images cited from references/mapping.md (../images/inheritance-*.png) don't exist anywhere in the repo, a minor but real broken reference.

What Aurelius Mapping does
Guides mapping of Delphi classes to a database via TMS Aurelius attributes (Table, Column, Id, Association, ManyValuedAssociation, inheritance strategies) and enforces object-lifetime rules for associations and collections that are easy to get wrong. Triggers on requests to create/fix/review Aurelius entity mappings or explain Aurelius association/inheritance patterns.
How to install Aurelius Mapping
git clone https://github.com/tmssoftware/skills.git
cd skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Aurelius Mapping
-
/aurelius-mappingMaps Delphi classes to relational tables with TMS Aurelius ORM attributes, including lifetime-safety rules.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Map my Delphi TInvoice class to the INVOICES table with Aurelius attributes -
How do I set up a many-to-one Customer association in Aurelius safely? -
Review my Aurelius entity mapping for object lifetime bugs
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Aurelius Mapping skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from tmssoftware/skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Aurelius Mapping work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Real A/B on a legacy-schema invoice mapping: the baseline write manually freed the many-to-one association and used TObjectList with OwnsObjects=True — exactly the two Aurelius lifetime bugs the skill exists to prevent; the skill-guided version used Proxy<T>, a plain TList<T> container, and a RegisterEntity call, correctly avoiding both.

- What is the Aurelius Mapping SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Aurelius Mapping?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Aurelius Mapping with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
