LookML Review
Purpose: Evaluate a LookML project as prior art for building a Malloy semantic model. This skill coordinates the LookML adapter. The implementation lives in reference files under
reference/.
Tool names are written bare here -
get_context,execute_query,search_malloy_docs. The exact prefixed name depends on the host surface; match each against the tools you actually have.
This is NOT a blind conversion. Each LookML pattern is evaluated for quality and relevance to Malloy. Bad practices, Looker-specific UI patterns, and performance-only constructs are identified and skipped.
When to Use
- Auto-detected: The agent finds
.lkmlfiles during Step 1 (DISCOVER) and the user confirms they should be used as prior art. - Explicitly requested: The user says "model from LookML", "convert LookML", or provides a path to LookML files.
Two Modes
| Mode | When | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| LookML + live data | A connection is configured and you can query the data | LookML provides prior art; the data validates it. Full data-driven proposals. |
| LookML only | No connection, or queries return nothing | LookML provides all context. Proposals flagged as unvalidated. |
