Overview
This skill provides a streamlined way to archive database records, freeing up space on the primary database and ensuring compliance with data retention policies. It automates the process of moving historical data to more cost-effective storage solutions while maintaining query access.

- Policy Enforcement: The skill enforces automated retention policies, ensuring that data is archived or deleted according to pre-defined rules.
- Verification and Reporting: After the archival process, the skill verifies the successful migration of data and generates reports for compliance tracking.
