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
cp -r skills/aurelius-mapping ~/.claude/skills/aurelius-mapping

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Aurelius Mapping

  • /aurelius-mapping Maps 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

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.
