Migrate a SQL Server 2008 through SQL Server 2025 source to a SQL Server 2025 target wherever it runs, including SQL Server on Azure VM, by creating a local full backup, uploading it to Azure Blob Storage with AzCopy and the operator's Microsoft Entra identity, and restoring from URL with the target SQL Server managed identity. Sources newer than SQL Server 2025 are blocked because target restore compatibility has not been validated. Use for SQL-to-SQL, local-backup, AzCopy, managed-identity, Azure SQL VM, or SQL Server 2025 restore migrations.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
31 rules. About 0 are common, 15 are distinctive, and 16 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈15
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
16
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
The licence could not be identified — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
