orchardcore-data-migration

Creates and updates OrchardCore data migrations (DataMigration classes with CreateAsync/UpdateFromX). Use when the user needs to alter content type definitions, create or change SQL index tables, patch existing content items, run a recipe migration, or version a module's schema.

Quality

Content

86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, actionable skill body with executable code, a sequenced workflow that includes validation, and clean progressive disclosure into real reference files. The only gap is an explicit validate→fix→retry loop for migration failures.

Suggestions

Add an explicit feedback loop in Step 5: if an UpdateFromX fails on a provider, fix the method (or guard with try/catch), re-run from the prior stored version, and re-verify — this would lift workflow_clarity to 5.

Tighten the opening paragraph ('A data migration is a class that inherits DataMigration...') into a one-line definition, since the version-chain rule table already conveys the mechanics.

Consider noting how to inspect the stored migration version per tenant (for debugging failed upgrades) in references/patterns.md, since the workflow assumes the reader can determine the starting version.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly lean and domain-specific (the version-chain rule is non-obvious OrchardCore knowledge, not generic padding), with only minor sentences that could be trimmed; avoids explaining basic programming concepts.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready C# for CreateAsync, UpdateFromX, Startup registration, and a Quick Reference table mapping goals to exact APIs, covering the common cases fully.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Five clearly sequenced steps with an explicit validation/testing step (fresh install, upgrade path, multi-provider testing) that satisfies the destructive-cap floor; missing an explicit fix-and-retry feedback loop keeps it just below a 5.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Concise overview in SKILL.md with well-signaled one-level-deep references to real files (references/patterns.md, references/schema-builder.md), each described by topic; navigation is easy and content is appropriately split.	5 / 5

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A well-crafted description that clearly states capabilities, gives concrete trigger phrases, and carves out a distinct niche. Adding a few synonyms (e.g., 'schema update', 'content type migration') would push trigger term quality to full marks.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'alter content type definitions, create or change SQL index tables, patch existing content items, run a recipe migration, or version a module's schema' — giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's capabilities.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly states both what ('Creates and updates OrchardCore data migrations (DataMigration classes with CreateAsync/UpdateFromX)') and when ('Use when the user needs to...') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Strong natural triggers ('alter content type definitions', 'patch existing content items', 'run a recipe migration') but lacks synonyms or file/extension variants, keeping it just below comprehensive.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	'OrchardCore data migrations' is a clear niche with distinct triggers; minimal risk of firing for unrelated skills.	5 / 5
	Total	19 / 20 Passed
