Skill instructions
EDMX to Code-First Migration Overview Migrate Entity Framework EDMX files to EF Core Code-First. EDMX is not supported in EF Core, so the migration scaffolds a code-based model from the existing database and replaces all EDMX-dependent patterns. Scope: This skill targets EDMX-based (Database-First/Model-First) projects. If the project already uses EF6 Code-First (no .edmx files), use the migrating-ef6-code-first-to-ef-core skill instead. For DbContext registration and DI setup during ASP.NET Core migration, also apply the migrating-ef-dbcontext skill — it is complementary to this one. Workflow Migration Progress: - [ ] Step 1: Detect and assess - [ ] Step 2: Install packages - [ ] Step 3: Extract connection string - [ ] Step 4: Scaffold from database - [ ] Step 5: Register DbContext - [ ] Step 6: Preserve customizations - [ ] Step 7: Handle breaking changes - [ ] Step 8: Cleanup - [ ] Step 9: Validate Step 1: Detect and Assess 1.
