The Agent Skills Directory

[Tool Installation]: The skill uses dotnet tool install and dotnet new install to acquire official Microsoft SQL utilities (microsoft.sqlpackage, Microsoft.Build.Sql.Templates). These are standard procedures for setting up a development environment with vendor-provided tools.
[Database Deployment]: It provides instructions for executing sqlpackage to publish database schemas. The documentation emphasizes using secure connection strings with Active Directory authentication and includes explicit warnings against flags that bypass data loss protections (e.g., BlockOnPossibleDataLoss=False).
[Artifact Inspection]: The skill utilizes common utilities like unzip and grep to inspect build artifacts (dacpac files). This is a transparent method for verifying project configurations, such as the target platform, before performing sensitive deployment operations.
