Creating Oracle To Postgres Migration Integration Tests
Creates integration test cases for .NET data access artifacts during Oracle-to-PostgreSQL database migrations. Generates DB-agnostic xUnit tests with deterministic seed data that validate behavior consistency across both database systems. Use when creating integration tests for a migrated project, generating test coverage for data access layers, or writing Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration validation tests.

# Creating Integration Tests for Oracle-to-PostgreSQL Migration Generates integration test cases for data access artifacts in a single target project. Tests validate behavior consistency when running against Oracle or PostgreSQL. ## Prerequisites - The test project must already exist and compile (scaffolded separately). - Read the existing base test class and seed manager conventions before writing tests. ## Workflow ``` Test Creation: - [ ] Step 1: Discover the test project conventions - [ ] Step 2: Identify testable data access artifacts - [ ] Step 3: Create seed data - [ ] Step 4: Write test cases - [ ] Step 5: Review determinism ``` **Step 1: Discover the test project conventions** Read the base test class, seed manager, and project file to understand inheritance patterns, transaction management, and seed file conventions. **Step 2: Identify testable data access artifacts** Scope to the target project only. List data access methods that interact with the database — repositories, DAOs, stored procedure callers, query builders. **Step 3: Create seed data** - Follow seed file location and naming conventions from the existing project. - Reuse existing seed files when possible. - Avoid `TRUNCATE TABLE` — keep existing database data intact. - Do not commit seed data; tests run in transactions that roll back. - Ensure seed data does not conflict with other tests. - Load and verify seed data before assertions depend on it. **Step 4: Write test cases** - Inherit from the base test class to get automatic transaction create/rollback. - Assert logical outputs (rows, columns, counts, error types), not platform-specific messages. - Assert specific expected values — never assert that a value is merely non-null or non-empty when a concrete value is available from seed data. - Avoid testing code paths that do not exist or asserting behavior that cannot occur. - Avoid redundant assertions across tests targeting the same method. **Step 5: Review determinism** Re-examine every assertion against non-null values. Confirm each is deterministic against the seeded data. Fix any assertion that depends on database state outside the test's control. ## Key Constraints - **Oracle is the golden source** — tests capture Oracle's expected behavior. - **DB-agnostic assertions** — no platform-specific error messages or syntax in assertions. - **Seed only against Oracle** — test project will be migrated to PostgreSQL later. - **Scoped to one project** — do not create tests for artifacts outside the target project.

Accessibility Standards
Comprehensive web accessibility standards based on WCAG 2.2 AA, with 38+ anti-patterns, legal enforcement context (EAA, ADA Title II), WAI-ARIA patterns, and framework-specific fixes for modern web frameworks and libraries.
Accord
Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.
Acquire Codebase Knowledge
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
Acreadiness Assess
Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
Acreadiness Generate Instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
Acreadiness Policy
Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
