About
The SQL Research Specialist skill provides a structured framework for investigating SQL functions, commands, and dialect-specific behaviors before writing implementation code. Designed specifically for developers working on translation layers like dbplyr, this skill ensures that SQL-generating logic is grounded in official documentation and accounts for complex edge cases such as NULL handling, type coercion, and version-specific differences. It enforces a documentation-first workflow that prioritizes correctness and provides a standardized format for recording findings, making it an essential tool for cross-database development and maintenance.
