What the file says

# SQL Server Performance Review Orchestrator Skill

## Purpose

A dispatch skill that turns a mixed pile of SQL Server artifacts (or a symptom description) into a single, evidence-backed performance review. It does not redefine any checks — it routes work to the 18 specialised review skills, then synthesises their findings into one consolidated report.

The orchestrator is **strictly offline**: it reads files the user provides, generates capture-script bundles when artifacts are missing, and emits analysis reports. It never opens a connection to a SQL Server. All execution against the database is the user's action.

This skill applies eleven cross-cutting primitives that distinguish it from a naive dispatcher:

**Tier 1 — agentic core:**

- **Evidence chain** (E-tags) — every finding cites the source artifact, the specialised check ID, the observed value, and the threshold violated, so any recommendation is reproducible from the input set
- **Risk-aware recommendations** — every recommended fix carries action, effort, blocking window, risk class, side effects, explicit rollback, and post-deployment verification
…
