SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users working with Malloy and the Malloy Publisher often do not know which specialized skill to invoke for modeling, querying, debugging, or publishing, leading to wrong tool selection and failed workflows. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Index and Routing: Lists every available Malloy skill by purpose so the agent can route requests like modeling, analysis, debugging, or publishing to the correct skill. - Workflow Orchestration Entry Points: Identifies the two driver skills, malloy-modeling for building semantic models and malloy-analysis for answering data questions. - First-Time Setup Guidance: Directs users with no .malloy files to start the full modeling workflow after configuring the Malloy Publisher MCP tools. - Use Case: A user asks "how do I use malloy" and the agent loads this index, determines the user wants to build a semantic model, and routes to the malloy-modeling driver skill. ## Quick Start Ask the agent what Malloy skills are available or say model my data to start the guided modeling workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about malloy

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get started with Malloy in my workspace?▼

Start by configuring the Malloy Publisher MCP tools, then say model my data to trigger the full modeling workflow. The agent loads the malloy-modeling driver skill, which orchestrates discovery, scoping, definition, and model building phases.

What Malloy skills are available for data analysis?▼

Analysis skills include malloy-analysis as the workflow driver, malloy-analyze for exploratory profiling, malloy-charts for visualization selection, and malloy-notebooks for building .malloynb notebooks. The malloy-analysis-report skill combines validated queries into reports or dashboards.

How do I fix Malloy compile errors?▼

Use the malloy-debug skill, which covers fixing compile errors and interpreting diagnostics. Before writing queries, consult malloy-gotchas-queries and malloy-gotchas-modeling to avoid common syntax and modeling mistakes.

Can Malloy skills help migrate existing LookML models?▼

Yes, the malloy-lookml-review skill acts as a prior-art adapter for LookML, handling field extraction, derived tables, visibility settings, and documentation. It follows the same adapter pattern planned for future dbt support.

Does this skill support publishing Malloy packages?▼

Publishing is out of scope for open-source Publisher v1. Self-hosters move a finished model into a served package via git and the host's publish path, guided by the malloy-publish skill.
