  CData publishes Agent Skills as a product surface, not as an afterthought: a discovery
  skill served from the docs host's /.well-known/agent-skills/ path (named by the A2A agent
  card), plus a public repository of 20+ MIT-licensed skills installable with
  `npx skills add CDataSoftware/connect-ai-skills`. A second repository,
  CDataSoftware/cli-skills, covers the CData CLI. Because the provider publishes its own,
  no skills were generated on CData's behalf.

    The required base skill — every connector-specific skill in the repository composes on
    top of it. Encodes the mandatory discovery workflow (getInstructions before any
    schema/table/column call), tool-availability confirmation via tool_search, query
    construction patterns, SQL dialect guidance, and error recovery.

  note: >-
    Only the base and onboarding skills are mirrored here. The connector-specific skills
    describe THIRD-PARTY data models (Salesforce, Workday, Stripe…) reached through Connect
    AI, so they belong to those vendors' domains as much as to CData's; the repository is
    linked rather than copied.
