sqlstats-review skillA

sqlstats-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from vanterx/mssql-performance-skills: Parse and analyze SQL Server SET STATISTICS IO, TIME ON output. Extracts per-table IO metrics and per-statement CPU/elapsed times, computes % logical read share, detects 27 performance patterns (I1–I18 IO checks, W1–W9 time checks). Use when a user pastes SSMS statistics output or asks why a query does too much I/O..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# SQL Server Statistics IO/Time Review Skill

## Purpose

Parse raw `SET STATISTICS IO, TIME ON` output from SQL Server Management Studio and produce a structured report of I/O activity and timing per statement. Applies 27 checks across IO patterns (I1–I18) and time patterns (W1–W9) to surface performance concerns that the raw output obscures.

This is the IO/time complement to `sqlplan-review`. Run it when you have STATISTICS output but no execution plan, or alongside the plan to cross-reference what actually happened at the I/O layer.

## Input

Accept any of:
- Raw SSMS console output pasted inline (everything after `SET STATISTICS IO, TIME ON`)
- A plain-text `.txt` file path containing the console output
- A description of what the output showed ("physical reads on Orders table, 140ms elapsed")

The input may contain mixed content — IO lines, time lines, rows-affected messages, error messages, and unrelated output. Parse only the recognized patterns; preserve unrecognized lines as informational context.

## Supported Input Line Formats

### STATISTICS IO line
