Inline comments:
In `@apps/docs/content/docs/composer/porting-an-app.mdx`:
- Line 25: Update the verification command in the porting instructions to use
the root-level Prisma dev command rather than a composer command group. Keep the
existing module argument and surrounding build-and-run steps unchanged.
In `@apps/docs/content/docs/guides/integrations/github-actions.mdx`:
- Line 603: Update the cleanup job containing the DB_ID `npx prisma postgres
list` command to check out the repository and run `npm ci` before invoking
Prisma, so `npx prisma` uses the locked project CLI. Revise the accompanying
explanation to state that the cleanup job checks out the repository and installs
dependencies.
In `@apps/docs/content/docs/postgres/index.mdx`:
- Line 31: Update the Prisma CLI example in the database-creation documentation
to use Prisma ORM 8 explicitly: change the unqualified `npx prisma` invocation
to `npx prisma@latest`. Also use `@latest` for the standalone bucket command
examples so all platform commands avoid resolving to a project-local Prisma ORM
7 CLI.
In `@apps/docs/source.config.ts`:
- Line 20: Update the command check in the `pm` rewrite branch to match
unversioned `tsc` or `prisma` commands only, using a whitespace-or-end-of-line
lookahead after the command name so versioned commands such as `prisma@latest`
remain on the download path.

…r orm init and init `npx prisma@latest` resolves to whatever npm's latest tag is when the command runs, not the version the project installed. Inside a guide that just ran `orm init`, and in every CI workflow, that is the wrong version to run. Every command after installation is now `npx prisma <command>`; `orm init` and `init` keep `@latest` because they run before the project has Prisma. The command-tab converter renders `npx prisma` as `pnpm prisma` and `yarn prisma`, since `dlx` would download a package instead of running the installed one. The guide- writing page states the rule.

Step 10 review round 1 confirmed 35 findings, 3 of them blockers. The post taught a git-connect-and-push deploy that does not exist without a Prisma Composer app: prisma/cloud-deploy-action runs `prisma deploy module.ts`, and compute/github.mdx says a connected repo without the workflow deploys nothing. The competitor table also failed a live check. The rewrite: - Frames the choice as deploying the repo you have (Railway, Render, Fly.io) versus declaring the app and its database together (Prisma with Composer), and says plainly that the Prisma path is a port. - Shows the real model: a root module.ts, a service that declares its Postgres as a dependency, migrations applied by the deploy, typed calls between services, and a stage with its own databases per branch. - Discloses release status: Composer Early Access, the deploy action experimental, Prisma ORM 8 a release candidate with GA expected in October 2026, and what ORM 8 does not have yet. - Corrects every competitor cell round 1 confirmed, from live vendor pages: GitHub-app deploys store no token on Railway and Render, Fly has managed Postgres with pooling, previews are per PR on Railway and Render, and Railway supports WebSockets. - Uses `npx prisma` for the installed CLI, per #8312. - Drops the unsupported spend-alert advice and the Railway "default" close, which contradicted positioning. All three docs-reader-review checkers clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The problem
The docs wrote
npx prisma@latestfor every command, including inside GitHub Actions workflows. That runs whatever npm'slatesttag points at when the command runs, not the version the project installed. In CI it can differ from the lockfile version installed one step earlier, and a reader following a guide can get a different CLI from the one their project pins.The rule
npx prisma <command>for every command after installation. It runs the installed version.npx prisma@lateststays only onorm initandinit, which run before the project has Prisma.The guide-writing page states this under "Versions in commands".
What changed
@latest. The Prisma ORM 6 and 7 trees are untouched, and so is everynpx prisma initthat was already unpinned on a Prisma 7-era page.apps/docs/source.config.ts: the command-tab converter already rewrotenpx tsctopnpm tscandyarn tscbecausedlxdownloads a package instead of running the installed one.npx prismanow gets the same treatment.npx prisma@lateststill becomespnpm dlx prisma@latest, which is right for a command that runs before installation.apps/docs/src/components/concept-animation/presets.ts: the animated terminal drops@latesttoo.Checked
The change was generated from
mainby one regex with a lookahead fororm initandinit, so no line gained@latest. The only non-mechanical lines are the converter and the convention paragraph.lint:linkspasses; the 64 docs unit tests pass.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
