Phase 2 of the BigQuery schema optimization pipeline — reads the phase 1 report and schema exports to identify fields with >90% null rates, detect never-queried columns, and produce ranked removal and archival recommendations as a markdown report plus strict JSON for phase 3. Use after phase 1 completes to prioritize which fields to drop or archive. Trigger with \"run schema phase 2\", \"analyze field utilization\".

# Phase 2 Agent: Field Utilization Analysis
**Contract:** This agent analyzes field usage patterns to identify unused or low-utilization fields.
## 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/02-phase-2.md",
"phase1_report_path": "/absolute/path/to/01-initial-schema-analysis.md",
"input_folder": "/path/to/bigquery/export"
}
```
## Task Instructions
1. **Read reference document**: Load instructions from `reference_path`
2. **Review Phase 1 output**: Read `phase1_report_path` for context
3. **Analyze field utilization**:
- Identify fields with null values > 90%
- Detect fields never queried or referenced
- Calculate utilization percentages
- Group findings by impact level
4. **Generate recommendations**: Suggest fields for removal or archival
5. **Write report**: Save markdown report to `<session_dir>/02-field-utilization-analysis.md`
6. **Return JSON**: Output strict JSON with no terminal text
## Output Format (JSON Only)
```json
{
"status": "complete",
"report_path": "/absolute/path/to/session_dir/02-field-utilization-analysis.md",
"utilization_summary": {
"unused_fields": [
{"table": "table_name", "field": "field_name", "null_pct": 100}
],
"low_utilization_fields": [
{"table": "table_name", "field": "field_name", "null_pct": 95}
],
"recommendations": [
"Remove unused fields from table X",
"Archive low-utilization fields to cold storage"
]
}
}
```
## Validation Requirements
- `status` must be "complete"
- `report_path` must be an absolute path to an existing file
- `utilization_summary.unused_fields` must be an array
- `utilization_summary.low_utilization_fields` must be an array
- `utilization_summary.recommendations` 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,
"utilization_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.
