What problem does it solve? When writing Malloy queries against a semantic model, you often need the exact syntax or pattern for a feature — joins, window functions, percent-of-total, chart rendering — but don't know what to search for. This Skill provides a curated index of Malloy documentation topics mapped to effective search terms for the search_malloy_docs tool. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Topic Index: Organized tables of Malloy language reference topics (sources, queries, views, aggregates, joins, filters, expressions) with recommended search strings. - Common Patterns: Ready-made search terms for analytical patterns like year-over-year comparison, cohort analysis, percent of total, moving averages, histograms, and sessionization. - Rendering & Dialects: Lookup terms for visualization options (bar charts, dashboards, pivots) and dialect-specific SQL functions for BigQuery, DuckDB, Postgres, Snowflake, and more. - Use Case: While composing a Malloy query, you need window function syntax — consult the index, then call search_malloy_docs with "calculations" or "window functions" to retrieve the official documentation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to look up how to compute a year-over-year comparison in Malloy using the search_malloy_docs tool.
