m-folding from csalcedodatabi/powerquery-m-for-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when a Power Query M step may or may not fold to the data source — deciding whether a transformation is pushed down as native SQL or evaluated locally, finding which step breaks folding, reading the step folding indicators or View Native Query, using Value.NativeQuery with EnableFolding, or designing a query so it stays foldable for incremental refresh. Triggers on "query folding", "does this fold", "breaks folding", "native query", "Value.NativeQuery", "EnableFolding…
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
# M Folding > **Status.** Stub. Scope and structure are fixed in > [the design spec](../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-28-powerquery-m-for-agents-design.md) > (§4); content lands in phase 4, each claim backed by a lab query. ## Planned contents | File | Covers | |---|---| | `references/how-folding-works.md` | What the engine pushes down, and when evaluation turns local | | `references/breakers.md` | Steps that commonly stop folding, per connector family (SQL, OData, SharePoint, files) | | `references/verify.md` | Step indicators, View Native Query, Query Diagnostics: what each proves and what it does not | | `references/native-query.md` | `Value.NativeQuery` + `[EnableFolding = true]`, and parameters | | `references/incremental-refresh.md` | `RangeStart`/`RangeEnd` filters that fold, and the ones that silently do not | ## Rule until then Do not claim a step folds without a way to check it. Say which verification the user should run (View Native Query on that step) instead of asserting. ## Related skills - **`m-reference`** — signatures and host availability. - **`m-iteration`** — `Table.Buffer`, which stops folding on purpose.

How to install
mdr add csalcedodatabi/powerquery-m-for-agents/m-folding@sha256:52780e13b11f2766The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.aec5b2c, 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.
