- Read the collection and subfolder README first. Match the SQL version and prerequisites rather than assuming every script runs on the same instance.
- Use isolated lab resources. Debugging and recovery demos can stop SQL Server; performance and contention demos can exhaust CPU, storage, or connections.
- Review placeholders, paths, credentials, resource names, and cleanup. Supply secrets privately and obtain approval before billable or destructive work.
- Captured results are illustrative evidence from previous runs, not performance guarantees. Source folders have Markdown READMEs; generated build output is not part of this documentation coverage.
Each collection has a matching workspace skill listed in the repository overview. Before publishing changes, follow Secret scanning.
