# Initialize Warehouse Schema

Generate a comprehensive, user-editable schema reference file for the data warehouse.

**Scripts:** `../analyzing-data/scripts/` — All CLI commands below are relative to the `analyzing-data` skill's directory. Before running any `scripts/cli.py` command, `cd` to `../analyzing-data/` relative to this file.

## What This Does

1. Discovers all databases, schemas, tables, and columns from the warehouse
2. **Enriches with codebase context** (dbt models, gusty SQL, schema docs)
3. Records row counts and identifies large tables
4. Generates `.astro/warehouse.md` - a version-controllable, team-shareable reference
5. Enables instant concept→table lookups without warehouse queries

## Process

### Step 1: Read Warehouse Configuration

```bash
cat ~/.astro/agents/warehouse.yml
```

Get the list of databases to discover (e.g., `databases: [HQ, ANALYTICS, RAW]`).

### Step 2: Search Codebase for Context (Parallel)

**Launch a subagent to find business context in code:**

```
Task(
    subagent_type="Explore",
    prompt="""
    Search for data model documentation in the codebase:

    1. dbt models: **/models/**/*.yml, **/schema.yml
       - Extract table descriptions, column descriptions
       - Note primary keys and tests

    2. Gusty/declarative SQL: **/dags/**/*.sql with YAML frontmatter
       - Parse frontmatter for: description, primary_key, tests
       - Note schema mappings

    3. AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md files with data layer documentation

    Return a mapping of:
      table_name -> {description, primary_key, important_columns, layer}
    """
)
```

### Step 3: Parallel Warehouse Discovery

**Launch one subagent per database** using the Task tool:

```
For each database in configured_databases:
    Task(
        subagent_type="general-purpose",
        prompt="""
        Discover all metadata for database {DATABASE}.

        Use the CLI to run SQL queries:
        # Scripts are relative to ../analyzing-data/
        uv run scripts/cli.py exec "df = run_sql('...')"
        uv run scripts/cli.py exec "print(df)"

        1. Query schemas:
           SELECT SCHEMA_NAME FROM {DATABASE}.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA

        2. Query tables with row counts:
           SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, ROW_COUNT, COMMENT
           FROM {DATABASE}.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
           ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME

        3. For important schemas (MODEL_*, METRICS_*, MART_*), query columns:
           SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, COMMENT
           FROM {DATABASE}.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
           WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'X'

        Return a structured summary:
        - Database name
        - List of schemas with table counts
        - For each table: name, row_count, key columns
        - Flag any tables with >100M rows as "large"
        """
    )
```

**Run all subagents in parallel** (single message with multiple Task calls).

### Step 4: Discover Categorical Value Families

For key categorical columns (like OPERATOR, STATUS, TYPE, FEATURE), discover value families:

```bash
uv run cli.py exec "df = run_sql('''
SELECT DISTINCT column_name, COUNT(*) as occurrences
FROM table
WHERE column_name IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY column_name
ORDER BY occurrences DESC
LIMIT 50
''')"
uv run cli.py exec "print(df)"
```

Group related values into families by common prefix/suffix (e.g., `Export*` for ExportCSV, ExportJSON, ExportParquet).

### Step 5: Merge Results

Combine warehouse metadata + codebase context:

1. **Quick Reference table** - concept → table mappings (pre-populated from code if found)
2. **Categorical Columns** - value families for key filter columns
3. **Database sections** - one per database
4. **Schema subsections** - tables grouped by schema
5. **Table details** - columns, row counts, **descriptions from code**, warnings

### Step 6: Generate warehouse.md

Write the file to:
- `.astro/warehouse.md` (default - project-specific, version-controllable)
- `~/.astro/agents/warehouse.md` (if `--global` flag)

## Output Format

```markdown
# Warehouse Schema

> Generated by `/astronomer-data:warehouse-init` on {DATE}. Edit freely to add business context.

## Quick Reference

| Concept | Table | Key Column | Date Column |
|---------|-------|------------|-------------|
| customers | HQ.MODEL_ASTRO.ORGANIZATIONS | ORG_ID | CREATED_AT |
<!-- Add your concept mappings here -->

## Categorical Columns

When filtering on these columns, explore value families first (values often have variants):

| Table | Column | Value Families |
|-------|--------|----------------|
| {TABLE} | {COLUMN} | `{PREFIX}*` ({VALUE1}, {VALUE2}, ...) |
<!-- Populated by /astronomer-data:warehouse-init from actual warehouse data -->

## Data Layer Hierarchy

Query downstream first: `reporting` > `mart_*` > `metric_*` > `model_*` > `IN_*`

| Layer | Prefix | Purpose |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Reporting | `reporting.*` | Dashboard-optimized |
| Mart | `mart_*` | Combined analytics |
| Metric | `metric_*` | KPIs at various grains |
| Model | `model_*` | Cleansed sources of truth |
| Raw | `IN_*` | Source data - avoid |

## {DATABASE} Database

### {SCHEMA} Schema

#### {TABLE_NAME}
{DESCRIPTION from code if found}

| Column | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| COL1 | VARCHAR | {from code or inferred} |

- **Rows:** {ROW_COUNT}
- **Key column:** {PRIMARY_KEY from code or inferred}
{IF ROW_COUNT > 100M: - **⚠️ WARNING:** Large table - always add date filters}

## Relationships

```
{Inferred relationships based on column names like *_ID}
```
```

## Command Options

| Option | Effect |
|--------|--------|
| `/astronomer-data:warehouse-init` | Generate .astro/warehouse.md |
| `/astronomer-data:warehouse-init --refresh` | Regenerate, preserving user edits |
| `/astronomer-data:warehouse-init --database HQ` | Only discover specific database |
| `/astronomer-data:warehouse-init --global` | Write to ~/.astro/agents/ instead |

### Step 7: Pre-populate Cache

After generating warehouse.md, populate the concept cache:

```bash
# Scripts are relative to ../analyzing-data/
uv run cli.py concept import -p .astro/warehouse.md
uv run cli.py concept learn customers HQ.MART_CUST.CURRENT_ASTRO_CUSTS -k ACCT_ID
```

### Step 8: Offer CLAUDE.md Integration (Ask User)

**Ask the user:**

> Would you like to add the Quick Reference table to your CLAUDE.md file?
>
> This ensures the schema mappings are always in context for data queries, improving accuracy from ~25% to ~100% for complex queries.
>
> Options:
> 1. **Yes, add to CLAUDE.md** (Recommended) - Append Quick Reference section
> 2. **No, skip** - Use warehouse.md and cache only

**If user chooses Yes:**

1. Check if `.claude/CLAUDE.md` or `CLAUDE.md` exists
2. If exists, append the Quick Reference section (avoid duplicates)
3. If not exists, create `.claude/CLAUDE.md` with just the Quick Reference

**Quick Reference section to add:**

```markdown
## Data Warehouse Quick Reference

When querying the warehouse, use these table mappings:

| Concept | Table | Key Column | Date Column |
|---------|-------|------------|-------------|
{rows from warehouse.md Quick Reference}

**Large tables (always filter by date):** {list tables with >100M rows}

> Auto-generated by `/astronomer-data:warehouse-init`. Run `/astronomer-data:warehouse-init --refresh` to update.
```
**If yes:** Append the Quick Reference section to `.claude/CLAUDE.md` or `CLAUDE.md`.

## After Generation

Tell the user:

```
Generated .astro/warehouse.md

Summary:
  - {N} databases, {N} schemas, {N} tables
  - {N} tables enriched with code descriptions
  - {N} concepts cached for instant lookup

Next steps:
  1. Edit .astro/warehouse.md to add business context
  2. Commit to version control
  3. Run /astronomer-data:warehouse-init --refresh when schema changes
```

## Refresh Behavior

When `--refresh` is specified:

1. Read existing warehouse.md
2. Preserve all HTML comments (`<!-- ... -->`)
3. Preserve Quick Reference table entries (user-added)
4. Preserve user-added descriptions
5. Update row counts and add new tables
6. Mark removed tables with `<!-- REMOVED -->` comment

## Cache Staleness & Schema Drift

The runtime cache has a **7-day TTL** by default. After 7 days, cached entries expire and will be re-discovered on next use.

### When to Refresh

Run `/astronomer-data:warehouse-init --refresh` when:
- **Schema changes**: Tables added, renamed, or removed
- **Column changes**: New columns added or types changed
- **After deployments**: If your data pipeline deploys schema migrations
- **Weekly**: As a good practice, even if no known changes

### Signs of Stale Cache

Watch for these indicators:
- Queries fail with "table not found" errors
- Results seem wrong or outdated
- New tables aren't being discovered

### Manual Cache Reset

If you suspect cache issues:

```bash
# Scripts are relative to ../analyzing-data/
uv run scripts/cli.py cache status
uv run scripts/cli.py cache clear --stale-only
uv run scripts/cli.py cache clear
```
