What problem does it solve?
Before writing SQL queries, data teams often struggle to anticipate output shapes, validate data availability, and plan an incremental, verifiable query strategy. This Skill provides a structured pre-SQL workflow to infer results, explore schemas, and establish verification checks to reduce rework and errors.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Output shape inference and cardinality clues from questions to guide query design.
- Efficient schema exploration and iterative CTE-based query building.
- Structured verification loop (row count, NULL audit, fan-out check, sample inspection) and error recovery protocol.
- Saving outputs to result.sql and result.csv and turn-budget management for controlled experimentation.
- Applicable to analysts building complex data pipelines, data engineers prototyping queries, and QA validating results.
Quick Start
Activate this skill before composing SQL queries to guide exploration, build queries step by step, verify intermediate results, and save the final artifacts to result.sql and result.csv.
