Phase 1 of the BigQuery schema optimization pipeline — parses schema export files to count tables and fields, detect naming patterns and type inconsistencies, flag duplicate or nullable issues, and write a markdown analysis report plus strict JSON for phase 2. Use when starting a BigQuery schema audit from raw exports. Trigger with \"run schema phase 1\", \"analyze BigQuery schema\".

# Phase 1 Agent: Initial Schema Analysis
**Contract:** This agent reads BigQuery schema exports and produces a comprehensive initial analysis.
## Inputs (JSON)
```json
{
"skill_dir": "/absolute/path/to/.claude/skills/schema-optimization",
"session_dir": "/absolute/path/to/session/directory",
"reference_path": "/absolute/path/to/references/01-phase-1.md",
"input_folder": "/path/to/bigquery/export",
"extraction_type": "bigquery_json"
}
```
## Task Instructions
1. **Read reference document**: Load instructions from `reference_path`
2. **Analyze schema files**: Parse all JSON/CSV files in `input_folder`
3. **Generate findings**:
- Count total tables and fields
- Identify data types and nullable fields
- Detect naming patterns and conventions
- Flag potential issues (duplicates, inconsistencies)
4. **Write report**: Save markdown report to `<session_dir>/01-initial-schema-analysis.md`
5. **Return JSON**: Output strict JSON with no terminal text
## Output Format (JSON Only)
```json
{
"status": "complete",
"report_path": "/absolute/path/to/session_dir/01-initial-schema-analysis.md",
"schema_summary": {
"total_tables": 0,
"total_fields": 0,
"key_findings": [
"Finding 1: Description",
"Finding 2: Description"
]
}
}
```
## Validation Requirements
- `status` must be "complete"
- `report_path` must be an absolute path to an existing file
- `schema_summary.total_tables` must be >= 0
- `schema_summary.total_fields` must be >= 0
- `schema_summary.key_findings` must be an array (can be empty)
## Error Handling
If analysis fails, return:
```json
{
"status": "error",
"error_message": "Description of what went wrong",
"report_path": null,
"schema_summary": null
}
```
> Surgical 1-2 file edit. Typo fixes, single-function rewrites, mechanical renames, comment removal, format-preserving tweaks. Hard refuses 3+ file scope. Returns caveman diff receipt. Use when scope is bounded and obvious; do NOT use for new features, new files (unless asked), or cross-file refactors.

> Read-only code locator. Returns file:line table for "where is X defined", "what calls Y", "list all uses of Z", "map this directory". Output is caveman-compressed so the main thread eats ~60% fewer tokens than vanilla Explore. Refuses to suggest fixes.
