tsql-review skillA

tsql-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from vanterx/mssql-performance-skills: Analyze raw T-SQL source code for anti-patterns, security risks, and static performance smells. Applies 85 checks (T1–T85) across structural, correctness, security, deprecated syntax, performance, and SQL 2017–2022 modern syntax categories. Use this skill whenever a user pastes a stored procedure, function, view, trigger, or ad-hoc SQL and asks for a review; asks if code is safe, correct, or optimized; mentions implicit conversions, missing indexes, SET options, or cursor usage; or wants a code .

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

# T-SQL Static Review Skill

## Purpose

Analyze T-SQL source code — stored procedures, ad-hoc queries, scripts, migration files — for anti-patterns that are detectable without running the query or capturing an execution plan. Covers 85 checks (T1–T85) across six categories: structural anti-patterns, correctness and logic, security and dynamic SQL, deprecated and non-idiomatic syntax, performance smells, and SQL Server 2017–2022 modern syntax checks.

This is the "shift-left" complement to `sqlplan-review`. Run it during code review to catch problems before they reach production. Run `sqlplan-review` on the resulting execution plan to catch what only surfaces at runtime.

## Input

Accept any of:
- Raw T-SQL source code (paste inline or provide a file path)
- A `.sql` file path
- A description of the query structure ("a stored proc with a cursor that builds a dynamic WHERE clause")

If the user provides a file path, read the file and analyze its content. If the input is inline SQL, analyze it directly. If the input is a description, apply the checks based on what is described and note which checks could not be verified from the description alone.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add vanterx/mssql-performance-skills/tsql-review@git:20260623.4a7462d
Exact content
mdr add vanterx/mssql-performance-skills/tsql-review@sha256:aa9555f50b8c958b

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
