sqlmigration-security-review skillA

sqlmigration-security-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from vanterx/mssql-performance-skills: Audits the security-object migration plan for a SQL Server move with 15 checks (J1-J15) — logins, server and database permissions, credentials, certificates/keys ownership, and Central Management Server registrations. Use this skill when a user is migrating a SQL Server database or instance and needs to carry over logins, permissions, credentials, or certificates, or asks "will my logins still work after migration" or "how do I migrate permissions." Trigger whenever security-object portability d.

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.

What the file says

# sqlmigration-security-review

## Purpose

Reviews the security-object family of a SQL Server migration — the slice `sqlmigration-review`
dispatches here rather than checking itself. This skill owns 15 checks (J1–J15) covering whether
logins, server/database permissions, credentials, certificate/key ownership, and Central
Management Server (CMS) registrations will survive a backup/restore or log shipping/Always On
AG seeding migration, and what breaks if they don't.

- **Login Portability (J1–J5)** — orphaned users after restore, SID mismatch, login type
  unsupported on target platform, password policy differences, default database missing
- **Permission Fidelity (J6–J9)** — server-level role membership, database-level role membership,
  explicit GRANT/DENY statements, ownership chains crossing the migration boundary
- **Credentials & Secrets (J10–J12)** — SQL Server Credential objects, proxy account mapping,
  linked server stored logins
- **Certificates & Keys (J13–J14)** — certificate/key migration for objects that depend on them
  (excluding TDE, which is `sqlencryption-review`'s domain), backup of certificates before cutover
