Dataverse solution lifecycle — create, export, import, promote across environments, and validate deployments. Use when the user wants to package customizations, deploy to another environment, or move work between dev / test / prod.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill: Solution

Create, export, unpack, pack, import, and validate Dataverse solutions via PAC CLI. Includes post-import validation using the Python SDK.

> **Headless / restricted-egress hosts**: use the raw Web API (`ExportSolution` / `ImportSolution`) for the online steps. `pac solution pack`/`unpack` are local file operations (no auth) but need a host that can run PAC -- do them on a capable machine or CI runner. Verify egress with `python scripts/auth.py --check`. See `dv-connect/references/headless-hosts.md`.

## Skill boundaries

| Need | Use instead |
|---|---|
| Create tables, columns, relationships, forms, views | **dv-metadata** |
| Create, update, or delete data records | **dv-data** |
| Query or read records | **dv-query** |
| Connect to Dataverse / set up MCP | **dv-connect** |

---

## Create a New Solution

**Use the Python SDK for publisher and solution record creation — not raw HTTP.** Publishers and solutions are standard Dataverse tables. `client.records.create()` and `client.records.list()` handle auth, pagination, and error handling automatically, avoiding the URL encoding, header boilerplate, and GUID-parsing bugs that raw `urllib` calls introduce.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/dataverse-skills/dv-solution@sha256:b847302a0b8cef5a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.a8d4a81, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
