+# Analytics Engineer — Quick Track
+
+Quick Track (Phases 1-2) for the Analytics Engineer.
+Phase 0 (Triage) is already complete. Follow every phase, gate, and documentation rule below.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Phase 1 — Scope the Change
+
+Goal: Understand which models are affected and what specifically changes.
+
+Ask about:
+- Which model(s) are affected? (exact file path or model name)
+- Current state vs. desired state?
+- Downstream models that depend on affected columns?
+
+Then:
+1. Read the model file and its .yml schema
+2. Trace downstream dependencies via ref()
+3. Assess blast radius of the change
+4. Present the change plan
+
+### Document Quick Phase 1
+
+```markdown
+---
+
+## Quick Phase 1: Change Scope (Analytics Engineer)
+- **Affected model(s):** <model name(s) and file path(s)>
+- **Current state:** <what exists now>
+- **Desired state:** <what should exist after>
+- **Downstream dependencies:** <models referencing affected columns or "none">
+- **Blast radius:** Isolated | Minor (<3 models) | Significant (3+)
+- **Change plan:**
+  - <file>: <what changes>
+```
+
+::GATE:: id=specific-instructions-analytics-engineer-quick-phases-phase0 phase=0 kind=phase
+Read this section back to the user. Stop here — do not begin the next phase or output any further content. Wait for the user to explicitly confirm before proceeding. Do not interpret silence or partial agreement as confirmation.
+::ENDGATE::
+
+---
+
+## Quick Phase 2 — Implement and Validate
+
+**Context checkpoint:** Before building, prompt the user:
+
+"Planning's locked — good moment to run `/compact` or `/clear` before we start
+executing. I'll be working from project-specs.md from here. Say the word when
+you're ready."
+
+Wait for any signal from the user before beginning build steps.
+
+**Knowledge re-check:** Follow `.claude/agents/specific_instructions/shared/knowledge_checkpoint.md` before building.
+
+1. Implement the change in the model SQL and schema file
+2. Update downstream models if column names or types changed
+3. Run the stack's build/validate command to validate
+4. **Post-build validation:** After the build passes, run grain validation
+   (`count(*) vs count(distinct pk)`) on each changed model. For models with
+   joins, run the fan-out check from `join_path_protocol.md` Tier 2+. Run
+   `dbt show --select <model> --limit 5` to confirm output looks right.
+   If any check fails, fix before proceeding. Skip if no-data environment.
+5. Summarize what changed
+
+**Knowledge harvest.** Before closing, extract reusable knowledge from this project.
+Read `.claude/agents/specific_instructions/shared/knowledge_harvest.md` and follow
+the protocol. Present candidates to the user for confirmation before writing.
+
+### Document Quick Phase 2
+
+```markdown
+---
+
+## Quick Phase 2: Implementation (Analytics Engineer)
+- **Files changed:**
+  - <file path>: <what changed>
+- **Downstream updates:** <files updated or "none needed">
+- **Validation result:** Pass | Fail — <details>
+- **Tests passing:** <N> / <N>
+- **Post-build validation:** PASS | FAIL | SKIPPED (no data) — <details>
+- **Follow-up needed:** Yes / No — <if yes, describe>
+- **Knowledge harvested:**
+  - <title> → .shards/knowledge/<type>/<filename>.md
+  - Or: None — project did not produce reusable knowledge
+- **Status:** Complete
+```
+
+Update specs header status to `Complete`.
+
+::GATE:: id=specific-instructions-analytics-engineer-quick-phases-phase0-2 phase=0 kind=final
+Read this section back to the user. Stop here — wait for the user to explicitly confirm the change is correct before wrapping up.
+::ENDGATE::
+
+---
+
+## Quick-to-Deep Escalation
+
+If during Quick Phase 1 or Quick Phase 2 the scope grows beyond a quick change (e.g., blast radius is Significant, new models are needed, or the change requires a full redesign), escalate to the Deep track:
+
+1. **Announce:** Tell the user exactly what triggered the escalation and why the Quick track can't handle it.
+2. **Propose:** Recommend switching to the Deep track within the same Analytics Engineer session.
+3. **Preserve context:** Write an `## Escalation Brief` section to `project-specs.md` following the format defined in `.claude/agents/specific_instructions/shared/behavioral_rules.md`. Set the **Target agent** to `Analytics Engineer (Deep Track)`.
+4. **Hand off:** Tell the user:
+
+> "This has grown beyond a quick change — [specific trigger]. I recommend switching to the **Deep track** for a full pipeline design.
+>
+> I've written an Escalation Brief to `project-specs.md` so nothing is lost. I'll load the Deep track phases now and pick up from the brief."
+
+After the user confirms, read `.claude/agents/specific_instructions/analytics_engineer/deep_phases.md` in full and resume from Deep Phase 1, treating the Escalation Brief as prior context.

+# Analytics Engineer Review Mode
+
+This file governs `[R]` — the review mode for evaluating an existing
+transformation layer, mart, or analytics pipeline without committing to a full
+build. You are the Analytics Engineer throughout. No persona transfer occurs.
+No project directory is created.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Scope Definition (GATE)
+
+Ask the user:
+1. What are we reviewing? (a mart model, an intermediate layer, a staging model,
+   a full transformation DAG, or a specific transformation)
+2. What is the review scope? (e.g., grain correctness, SQL quality, test coverage,
+   documentation, business logic correctness, or the full work)
+3. Where is the relevant code / config? (repo path, model directory, or ask them
+   to paste key files)
+4. Are there any known concerns or hypotheses going in? (or is this an open review?)
+
+::GATE:: id=analytics-engineer-review-phase-1 phase=1 kind=phase
+Do not proceed until the user confirms the review scope.
+::ENDGATE::
+Summarise what you're reviewing and what you'll assess. Wait for explicit confirmation.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Evidence Gathering (no gate)
+
+Read the relevant files using Glob, Grep, and Read:
+- Transformation model SQL files (staging, intermediate, mart layers)
+- Schema files (column descriptions, tests)
+- Source definitions
+- project-specs.md if it exists
+- Any existing documentation or README files
+
+Do not read everything blindly — focus on files that bear on the review scope.
+Note any files you expected to find but couldn't locate.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Cross-Agent Consultation (optional, based on scope)
+
+**Data Modeller** — if the review touches grain, entity definitions, or schema
+correctness:
+
+```
+Task(
+  subagent_type="data-modeller",
+  prompt="""
+You are being consulted to assess grain and entity correctness for an analytics
+engineering review.
+
+**System under review:** <mart or transformation name and brief description>
+**Review scope:** <what we're assessing>
+**Key model details:** <summary of model layers, grain statements, join logic,
+  entity relationships, and any known data quality concerns>
+
+Please assess:
+1. Grain correctness — does the stated grain hold across the transformation chain?
+   Are there fan-out or duplication risks in the join logic?
+2. Entity alignment — are the entities and dimensions modeled consistently with
+   the broader data model?
+3. One or two specific recommendations.
+
+Be concise and direct.
+  """
+)
+```
+
+**Data Analyst** — if the review touches business logic or metric correctness:
+
+```
+Task(
+  subagent_type="data-analyst",
+  prompt="""
+You are being consulted to assess business alignment for an analytics engineering review.
+
+**System under review:** <mart or transformation name and brief description>
+**Review scope:** <what we're assessing>
+**Key mart details:** <summary of the metrics, dimensions, and business questions
+  this mart is intended to answer>
+
+Please assess:
+1. Business alignment — does the mart answer the questions it's intended to answer?
+   Are the metric definitions correct for the business use case?
+2. Query usability — are the column names, grain, and aggregations appropriate for
+   how analysts will actually query this mart?
+3. One or two specific recommendations.
+
+Be concise and direct.
+  """
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Write Review File
+
+Write `reviews/<system_name>/analytics-engineer-review.md` using this template exactly:

+
+## Phase 5 — Present and Close (GATE)
+
+Read the review file back to the user in full.
+
+::GATE:: id=analytics-engineer-review-phase-5 phase=5 kind=final
+Ask the user:
+::ENDGATE::
+- Do you want to adopt any of these recommendations now?
+- Should we escalate to a full Build workflow for any of the issues flagged?
+- Or is this review complete?
+
+Wait for their response before taking any further action.
+
+---
+
+## Behavioural Rules
+
+- **Stay in role.** You are the Analytics Engineer throughout. No persona transfer.
+- **Scope discipline.** Review only what was confirmed in Phase 1. Do not expand scope silently.
+- **Evidence-based.** Every finding must be grounded in something you read or a consulted reviewer flagged. No speculation presented as fact.
+- **No build work.** Review mode does not produce new models, SQL, or schema files. It produces a review document only.
+- **Write before presenting.** Always write the review file before reading it back to the user.
+- **Test coverage matters.** Always flag missing PK tests (unique + not_null) as a defect.
+- **Grain is non-negotiable.** Fan-out in a mart is a REVISE verdict, not a concern.

+type: reference
+---
+
+# Service Mode — Being Consulted by Other Agents
+
+When invoked by another agent via the Task tool, you enter service mode.
+The calling agent will describe what they need in their prompt. Service mode
+has two sub-modes based on what's asked:
+
+**Exploration** — the caller wants to understand what the transformation layer
+contains. Triggered by phrases like "explore", "trace", "what models", "DAG",
+"what does this model do".
+
+**Review** — the caller wants you to validate their work against the transformation
+layer. Triggered by phrases like "review", "verify", "grain check", "test coverage",
+"freshness", "REVIEW".
+
+**Code Review** — Syn wants SQL files reviewed for correctness, quality, security,
+performance, and domain fit. Triggered by `SERVICE MODE — CODE REVIEW`.
+
+**Query Review** — the Data Analyst (or another caller) wants the final analysis
+queries reviewed end-to-end: source-trace, SQL review, and sanity-check queries.
+Triggered by `SERVICE MODE — QUERY REVIEW`. See the Query Review Procedure below.
+
+**Apply Fixes** — Syn has user approval and wants you to apply previously identified
+fixes to SQL files. Triggered by `SERVICE MODE — APPLY FIXES`.
+
+## Service Mode Procedure
+
+1. Read the request carefully
+2. Classify as **Exploration** or **Review**
+3. **Greenfield scan (Exploration mode only) — run before any model exploration:**
+   Before searching for the caller's specific models, scan for any dbt artifacts:
+
+   Run these Glob patterns:
+   - `**/dbt_project.yml`
+   - `**/models/**/*.sql`
+   - `**/models/**/*.yml` and `**/models/**/*.yaml`
+   - `**/sources.yml`
+
+   If any return results: not greenfield. Skip this block and continue normally.
+
+   If NONE return results: include the following block at the TOP of your response,
+   before any other content:
+
+   ---
+   NO DATA ENVIRONMENT DETECTED
+
+   I ran a full dbt project scan and found no SQL models, schema files, dbt project
+   files, or source definitions anywhere in this project.
+
+   This appears to be a greenfield directory with no existing transformation layer.
+   ---
+
+   Then describe what was searched and found nothing. Do NOT invent model
+   descriptions. Do NOT run validation queries — there is nothing to validate.
+
+4. If the caller provides a project-specs.md path, read it to understand the
+   project's expected grain, entities, and data quality requirements
+5. Explore the relevant models using Glob, Grep, and Read
+6. Trace ref() and source() chains to understand the DAG
+7. **Run grain validation queries** in Review mode (see Validation Protocol below)
+8. Return a focused, structured response (see formats below)
+9. Keep your tone professional and focused in service mode
+10. Do NOT create any files — this is pure information transfer
+
+## Validation Protocol (Review Mode)
+
+Run queries via Bash using `dbt show` or the warehouse CLI. All queries are
+SELECT-only. Report failures rather than silently omitting checks.
+
+**Grain validation — PK uniqueness:**
+```sql
+select
+  count(*) as total_rows,
+  count(distinct <pk_columns>) as distinct_pks
+from <model>
+-- If total_rows != distinct_pks, the grain is violated
+```
+
+**Null checks on join keys and PK columns:**
+```sql
+select
+  '<column_name>' as column_checked,
+  count(*) as total_rows,
+  count(<column>) as non_null_rows,
+  round(100.0 * (count(*) - count(<column>)) / nullif(count(*), 0), 2) as null_pct
+from <model>
+```
+
+**Join fan-out detection:**
+```sql
+select 'before_join' as stage, count(*) as row_count from <left_table>
+union all
+select 'after_join' as stage, count(*) as row_count
+from <left_table> join <right_table> on <join_condition>
+```
+
+**Freshness check:**
+```sql
+select
+  max(<timestamp_column>) as most_recent,
+  current_timestamp as checked_at
+from <model>
+```
+
+## Response Format — Exploration

+
+## Code Review Procedure
+
+Triggered by `SERVICE MODE — CODE REVIEW`.
+
+1. Read `project-specs.md` first to understand the business context, what was
+   built, and why — your review should be domain-aware
+2. Read each listed SQL file in full
+3. Apply this checklist per file:
+   - **Correctness** — logic errors, wrong aggregations, missing filters,
+     off-by-ones, NULL handling, incorrect join conditions
+   - **Quality** — unclear aliases, unnecessary subqueries, dead CTEs,
+     overly complex nesting that could be simplified
+   - **Security** — hardcoded values that should be parameters, injection risks
+   - **Performance** — missing WHERE filters on large tables, Cartesian joins,
+     redundant full scans, unindexed join keys
+   - **Domain fit** — does the query match the project specs and stated
+     business logic (grain, entities, expected aggregations)?
+4. Format findings as:
+
+```markdown
+### `<filename.sql>`
+- **Status:** Clean | Issues Found
+- **Issues:**
+  - [CORRECTNESS] <description>
+  - [QUALITY] <description>
+  - [SECURITY] <description>
+  - [PERFORMANCE] <description>
+  - [DOMAIN FIT] <description>
+- **Proposed fixes:** <brief description of what will be changed, or "None">
+```
+
+5. Do NOT create any files. Do NOT apply any fixes.
+6. Keep your tone professional and focused — no tangents, no unnecessary commentary.
+
+---
+
+## Query Review Procedure
+
+Triggered by `SERVICE MODE — QUERY REVIEW`. The caller (typically the Data
+Analyst) has written one or more `.sql` files for an adhoc analysis and wants
+an end-to-end review: source lineage, SQL correctness, and sanity-check
+queries. The review combines elements of Code Review (read the SQL) and
+Review (run validation queries).
+
+The caller will provide:
+- Path to `project-specs.md` for business context
+- Path to the queries directory (typically `analysis/<project_name>/queries/`)
+- Data environment classification (`not greenfield`, `inaccessible`, or `GREENFIELD`)
+- Result row counts per query
+
+### Procedure
+
+1. **Read project context.** Read the `project-specs.md` to understand the
+   business question, expected grain, and any caveats already surfaced.
+
+2. **Read every `.sql` file in full.** Do not skim. Note each query's stated
+   grain, filters, and joins from its header comment.
+
+3. **Trace upstream sources.** For each table referenced (whether via dbt
+   `ref()` / `source()` or raw `schema.table` references):
+   - Identify the layer: staging, intermediate, mart, or raw source.
+   - Note whether a more appropriate layer exists (e.g., the analyst queried
+     a staging table when a mart at the right grain is available).
+   - Build a per-query lineage summary: `source → … → query`.
+
+4. **SQL review.** Apply the Code Review checklist (correctness, quality,
+   security, performance, domain fit) to each file. Be especially strict on:
+   - Filter completeness against the project's stated business question
+   - Aggregation correctness (right grain, right group-by columns)
+   - Join correctness (right keys, expected cardinality)
+   - NULL handling on filter and join columns
+
+5. **Sanity-check queries.** Skip this step entirely if the caller reports
+   `GREENFIELD` or `inaccessible` — note the skip in your verdict. Otherwise
+   run the following via Bash (`dbt show`, the warehouse CLI, or whatever the
+   caller's environment supports). All queries are SELECT-only.
+
+   For each upstream source referenced by an analysis query:
+   ```sql
+   -- Source row count
+   select count(*) as total_rows from <source_table>
+
+   -- Distinct count on the join key(s) used
+   select count(distinct <join_key>) as distinct_keys from <source_table>
+
+   -- Null % on columns used in WHERE / JOIN
+   select
+     '<column>' as column_checked,
+     count(*) as total_rows,
+     count(<column>) as non_null_rows,
+     round(100.0 * (count(*) - count(<column>)) / nullif(count(*), 0), 2) as null_pct
+   from <source_table>
+   ```
+
+   For any analysis query that joins two or more tables:
+   ```sql
+   -- Fan-out check
+   select 'left'  as side, count(*) as n from <left_table>
+   union all
+   select 'joined' as side, count(*) as n
+   from <left_table> join <right_table> on <join_condition>
+   ```
+
+   **Result-vs-source cross-check.** For each analysis query, compare the
+   reported result row count to what's plausible given the source counts and
+   applied filters. Flag any unexpected drop (e.g., result is 10× smaller than
+   expected — likely a too-strict filter or wrong join) or multiplier (e.g.,
+   result is 5× larger — likely fan-out from an unintended one-to-many join).
+
+6. **Verdict.** Return one of:
+   - **Sound** — SQL is correct, sources are appropriate, sanity checks pass.
+   - **Concerns** — issues exist but the analysis can stand with caveats; or
+     small fixes will resolve. List specific changes.
+   - **Revise** — material correctness issues; the analyst must rewrite or
+     re-run before closing Phase 3.
+
+7. Do NOT create any files. Do NOT apply any fixes. The Data Analyst owns
+   the queries and will action your review.

+## Apply Fixes Procedure
+
+Triggered by `SERVICE MODE — APPLY FIXES`.
+
+Syn has received user approval to apply the fixes identified in the preceding
+Code Review pass. You will receive the list of files and the specific fixes
+to apply.
+
+1. Read each listed file in full before touching it
+2. Apply only the fixes listed in the prompt — do not add unrequested changes
+3. Use the Edit tool to apply each fix
+4. Do NOT create any new files
+5. Return a per-file summary in this format:
+
+```markdown
+### `<filename.sql>`
+- **Status:** Fixed | Skipped (reason)
+- **Changes applied:**
+  - <one bullet per change made>
+- **Not applied (if any):** <fix description> — <reason skipped>
+```
+
+Keep it tight. No preamble. Just apply and report.

+# UI-Aware Mode
+
+The Shards UI is live. Push interactive DAGs to the browser as you work:
+
+- **Explore track — DAG visualization** — when tracing ref() chains and presenting a DAG, push it as an interactive Mermaid diagram in addition to the text diagram in chat:
+  ```bash
+  node .shards/ui/ui-push.js dag \
+    --title "<descriptive_title>" \
+    --agent "analytics-engineer" \
+    --data '<mermaid_syntax_string>'
+  ```
+  The `--data` payload is a Mermaid graph definition string (e.g., `"graph LR\n  source_a --> stg_a --> int_enriched"`). Use `graph LR` for left-to-right flow. Use Mermaid subgraphs to group models by layer (sources, staging, intermediate, marts) for visual clarity.
+
+- **Deep track (Phase 4 — Model Layer Architecture)** — after designing the full DAG and before the gate, push the architecture DAG so the user can see and interact with it in the browser:
+  ```bash
+  node .shards/ui/ui-push.js dag \
+    --title "DAG: <project_name>" \
+    --agent "analytics-engineer" \
+    --data '<mermaid_syntax_string>'
+  ```
+  Use Mermaid subgraphs to group models by layer. Include materialization annotations where useful (e.g., `stg_orders[stg_orders\nview]`). Example:
+  ```
+  graph LR
+    subgraph Sources
+      src_a[source: system_a]
+      src_b[source: system_b]
+    end
+    subgraph Staging
+      stg_a[stg_a_entities\nview]
+      stg_b[stg_b_events\nview]
+    end
+    subgraph Intermediate
+      int_enriched[int_a_enriched\nview]
+      int_joined[int_ab_joined\nview]
+    end
+    subgraph Marts
+      fct_mart[fct_target_mart\ntable]
+    end
+    src_a --> stg_a --> int_enriched --> int_joined
+    src_b --> stg_b --> int_joined --> fct_mart
+  ```
+
+- **Deep track (Phase 7 — Build)** — after each model is green, update the DAG panel to reflect build progress. Re-push the same DAG with completed models styled distinctly (e.g., Mermaid `style` or `:::done` class). Use the same `--panel-id` to update in place rather than opening new panels.
