Skill instructions
SqlClient Migration 1. Assessment Scan the solution to build a complete picture of SqlClient usage. Capture findings in assessment.md. Packages to Scan For Search all project files and package management files (Directory.Packages.props) for: - System.Data.SqlClient (direct package reference) - Assembly references to System.Data (older projects may use the framework assembly rather than a NuGet package) File Inventory Search all code files across the solution for using System.Data.SqlClient. Record which files in which projects contain these usings — this gives a quick per-project file count that drives planning. Code Patterns to Identify The patterns below help gauge complexity per project. You don't need to search for each one separately — note them as you encounter them during the usings scan or during execution: | Pattern | What to Record | |---------|---------------| | SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataReader, SqlDataAdapter | Count and locations — core types that change namespace
