I'm a huge fan of Entity Framework Migrations, using them for almost all client projects. In a given week, I will see dozens of changes deploy to production successfully across our portfolio of projects. However, there is always that "one task" that results in a failure and each time it happens it triggers an update to our internal training and review processes, and it has to do with repeatable scripting and the use of the "idempotent" flag. I thought I'd share our experiences with everyone, to help prevent issues for others.

With the recent preview release of GitHub CoPilot Agents, the importance of proper instructions for the agents is as important as it ever has been. But how do I effectively manage this when we have limits on the prompting depth and what items it has access to?
