sqlplan-batch

A bulk analyzer for SQL Server execution-plan files, which are XML files describing how queries run. It reviews a folder or list of .sqlplan files and combines the findings into one report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze a collection of .sqlplan files, summarize recurring execution-plan issues, rank costly queries, and create a consolidated missing-index script.
Why use it?
Reviewing plans one at a time makes workload-wide patterns difficult to see. This groups the most expensive queries, repeated problems, and duplicate index suggestions across many plans.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sqlplan-batch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SQL Server Execution Plan Batch Analysis Skill

Purpose

Analyze multiple .sqlplan files in bulk — applying the full 108-check ruleset (S1–S36, N1–N72) from sqlplan-review to each plan — and produce a single aggregated dashboard that identifies the most expensive queries, most common violations, and consolidated missing index recommendations.

Input

Accept any of:

  • A directory path containing .sqlplan files: /path/to/plans/
  • A list of .sqlplan file paths
  • A description of the available plans if files cannot be provided

How to Run

  1. Enumerate all .sqlplan files in the input
  2. Apply the full check ruleset to each plan (same logic as sqlplan-review)
  3. Aggregate findings into the summary structures below
  4. Generate a consolidated missing index script via the same merge rules as sqlindex-advisor
  5. Write output to batch-analysis.md in the same directory

Per-Plan Data to Collect

For each plan, collect:

Field Source
File name file system
Query text (first 200 chars, for display only; use full StatementText for analysis) StmtSimple/@StatementText
Statement cost StmtSimple/@StatementSubTreeCost
DOP QueryPlan/@DegreeOfParallelism
Memory grant (MB) MemoryGrantInfo/@GrantedMemory ÷ 1024
Critical issue count checks fired at Critical severity
Warning count checks fired at Warning severity
Spill present SpillToTempDb/@SpillLevel > 0
Missing index count <MissingIndexGroup> children count
Missing index max impact max @Impact across all MissingIndexGroups
Check IDs fired list of S/N codes

Aggregation Structures

1. Top 10 Most Expensive Plans

Rank by StatementSubTreeCost descending. Report:

Rank File Cost DOP Memory (MB) Criticals Warnings

2. Top 10 Plans by Critical Issue Count

Rank by Critical issue count descending, break ties by cost.

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

sqlplan-batch is a skill published in the GitHub repository vanterx/mssql-performance-skills (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 2,966 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
