What does the dv-metadata skill do?
Dataverse schema authoring and inspection — tables, columns, relationships, forms, and views. Use when the user wants to define, evolve, or inspect the data model — add a column, create a table, set up a lookup, customize a form, build a view, or list existing columns and relationships.
How do I install dv-metadata?

Environment-level Dataverse administration — bulk delete, retention/archival, organization settings, OrgDB settings, recycle bin, audit, and the 37 allowlisted PPAC toggles. Use when the user wants to clean up data at scale, configure audit, change environment settings, manage retention policies, or list/cancel ERP batch jobs.
One-step setup and connection diagnostics for a Dataverse environment — installs tools, authenticates, registers MCP, writes `.env`, and verifies active profiles and linked ERP endpoints. Use when starting a new project, switching environments, fixing authentication, troubleshooting MCP, or checking existing Dataverse / Finance and Operations connectivity or linkage.
Record-level CRUD and bulk operations — create, update, delete, upsert, CSV import, multi-table foreign-key loads, AI-generated sample data. Use when the user wants to write, modify, seed, or import data records into Dataverse tables, or plan or perform Finance and Operations (ERP) record writes and DMF package imports.
Foundational cross-cutting context for Dataverse / Power Platform work — scope and the skill map, the tool-capability reference, the safety rules, and the safe change lifecycle. Use when the user mentions Dataverse, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, CRM, or ERP; load this first for orientation. Specialist skills self-route via their own frontmatter triggers. Finance and Operations / F&O business-data requests also require this skill first, then dv-query for reads.
Bulk reads, multi-page iteration, and analytics over Dataverse data. Use when the user wants to read, list, filter, aggregate, group, join, or analyze records — including pandas DataFrame workflows and notebook exploration. Also covers ERP (Finance and Operations / F&O) business-data reads and runtime entity, schema, or action discovery; load dv-overview first, then this skill.
Security-role assignment, user access, application users, business units, and admin self-elevation in Dataverse environments. Use when the user wants to give someone access, grant a role, become an admin, or add a service principal.
Dataverse solution lifecycle — create, export, import, promote across environments, and validate deployments. Use when the user wants to package customizations, deploy to another environment, or move work between dev / test / prod.
Temporary Finance and Operations SQL access and bounded physical-table reads for unified development environments (UDEs) only, requiring the environment System administrator (sysAdmin) role. Use when the user explicitly requests direct ERP SQL access, a temporary SQL password, a sqlcmd connection, or a table read in an established ERP SQL workflow.

Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pg_cron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pg_restore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
Deprecated compatibility name for prisma-orm-setup. Use only when a user or existing integration explicitly invokes prisma-database-setup; otherwise select prisma-orm-setup.
Deprecated compatibility name for prisma-postgres-setup. Use only when a user or existing integration explicitly invokes prisma-postgres; otherwise select prisma-postgres-setup.
Obtain or reuse a Prisma Postgres database and connect an application. Use when the user needs a database and has none configured ("I need a database", "add a Postgres database", "set up a database for this app"), runs or mentions `create-db` or `npx create-db`, or asks to set up or connect Prisma Postgres, including in v0 and the Vercel Marketplace. Hands Prisma ORM configuration to prisma-orm-setup; reuses an existing connection first and honors an explicit provider, driver, alternative ORM, or database-only choice.
Required reference for Prisma ORM 7 SQL driver adapter work. Use when implementing or modifying adapters, adding database drivers, or touching SqlDriverAdapter, Transaction, savepoint, result mapping, or DriverAdapterError behavior. Covers current transaction lifecycle, optional savepoint hooks, original database-error preservation, and verification.
Use when doing ANY task involving Supabase. Triggers: Supabase products (Database, Auth, Edge Functions, Realtime, Storage, Vectors, Cron, Queues); client libraries and SSR integrations (supabase-js, @supabase/ssr) in Next.js, React, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix; auth issues (login, logout, sessions, JWT, cookies, getSession, getUser, getClaims, RLS); Supabase CLI or MCP server; schema changes, migrations, declarative schemas, security audits, Postgres extensions (pg_graphql, pg_cron, pg_vector); debugging and troubleshooting errors or unexpected behavior on Supabase projects (HTTP errors, Postgres errors, RLS surprises, permission denied, schema cache issues, timeouts, Edge Function crashes, Realtime drops, Storage failures) and reading or querying logs (Logs Explorer, ClickHouse).
Guides and best practices for working with Lakebase Postgres on Neon: connections, pooled vs direct, schema migrations, branching (including schema-only, reset-from-parent, and branch-per-PR workflows), autoscaling, scale-to-zero, instant restore, read replicas, IP allow lists, logical replication, egress optimization, and Lakebase Search. Use when the work is an existing DATABASE_URL, SQL, schema, inspect, or search. New backends, Auth, files, Functions, and LLM calls go to the parent `neon` skill. Live queries, reactive UIs, and realtime data go to `neon-realtime`. Also use for "@neondatabase/serverless", "@neon/neon-js", "neon inspect db", "neon postgres computes", "Neon branch", "schema-only branch", "reset branch", "branch per PR", high database bills, network transfer or egress, SELECT * optimization, query overfetching, "semantic search", "vector search", "full-text search", "BM25", or "hybrid search".
