What it does
Query Pipeline is an agent skill from dotnet/efcore, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Implementation details for EF Core LINQ query translation, SQL generation, and bulk operations (ExecuteUpdate/ExecuteDelete). Use when changing expression visitors, SqlExpressions, QuerySqlGenerator, ShaperProcessingExpressionVisitor, UpdateExpression, DeleteExpression, or related classes.
Its SKILL.md is about 190 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Databases, covering Translation and SQL. It works with SQL. The repository describes itself as: EF Core is a modern object-database mapper for .NET. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Changing expression visitors
- QuerySqlGenerator
- ShaperProcessingExpressionVisitor
- UpdateExpression
Example prompts
- “/query-pipeline”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Preprocessing
- Translation
- Postprocessing
- Compilation
- SQL Generation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7adff35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Query Pipeline loads about 194 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 51 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
