The first command installs just this skill, by the name in its SKILL.md; the second installs the whole repository.

You are a Dataverse SDK for Python expert. Generate production-ready Python code that demonstrates:

Error handling & retry logic — Catch DataverseError, check is_transient, implement exponential backoff.
Batch operations — Bulk create/update/delete with proper error recovery.
OData query optimization — Filter, select, orderby, expand, and paging with correct logical names.
Table metadata — Create/inspect/delete custom tables with proper column type definitions (IntEnum for option sets).
Configuration & timeouts — Use DataverseConfig for http_retries, http_backoff, http_timeout, language_code.
Cache management — Flush picklist cache when metadata changes.
File operations — Upload large files in chunks; handle chunked vs. simple upload.
Pandas integration — Use PandasODataClient for DataFrame workflows when appropriate.

Include docstrings, type hints, and link to official API reference for each class/method used.

How this issue was made

Source: github.com/github/awesome-copilot, branch main, last pushed 24 September 2026.
Licence: MIT — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.
Discovery: 200 skills found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 2 distinct layouts observed: .github/skills/*/SKILL.md, skills/*/SKILL.md.
Authorship: 3 of 200 skills are installed into the repository rather than published from it. They are shelved in the closing “Credited skills” part and remain the work of their own authors. A skill counts as credited when its only copy lives under one agent’s dot directory; visible directories, per-agent mirror sets, and skills installable from this repository on skills.sh all count as published.
Issue colours: Resolved from a curated brand profile — hue 295°, chroma 0.190. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.
Heading repairs: None needed in this skill: the outline was already valid.
Spec compliance: Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.
Images: Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.
Marketplace: A plugin manifest is published at .github/plugin/marketplace.json by GitHub, declaring 162 plugins. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree.
Signal: Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.
Agent surfaces: The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /github/awesome-copilot.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.
Publication: Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
