Trade-offs to check before shipping SQL Server code, from Erik Darling's "Before you ship that" chart. Use when someone is writing or changing a T-SQL query, designing or altering a table, adding an index or cleaning up existing ones, or asks for a review of T-SQL code or a pull request that touches
Read a SQL Server execution plan and explain what is actually slow, and why. Prevents the standard wrong conclusions: cost percentages read as measurements, operators ranked by cumulative time, estimated rows compared to actual without dividing by executions, and missing-index DDL pasted verbatim.
A band above the prompt listing each question the session is waiting on from you, with the recommended answer, trimmed as each is answered. Adds ask_add, ask_resolve and ask_list tools for the model and an /asks command.
Keeps a registry of interactive sessions so /resume-sessions can list and reopen the ones a crash, reboot or closed terminal interrupted. Windows, PowerShell, WezTerm or Windows Terminal.
A band above the prompt with each running subagent's type, model, effort, steps, context, advisor calls and estimated cost, plus a /fleet pane, /steer, /subagent-cost and a subagent_vitals tool.
Refuses force-pushes, pushes to protected branches, git commands that skip hooks and kills by process name; optionally bans folders, keeps subagents out of shared checkouts and stops whole-file reads of big files.
