Can I use this for existing DynamoDB tables?

Yes, it is excellent for documenting existing patterns or planning new entities and patterns for an established production table.

What is the output of this skill?

It generates a structured markdown file (e.g., access-patterns.md) that catalogs all entities and access patterns to be used in the next design phase.

Is this skill specific to any programming language?

No, it is language-agnostic and project-agnostic, using generic types and concepts applicable to any tech stack or framework.

Why is this step necessary for DynamoDB?

DynamoDB performance and scalability rely on knowing your access patterns upfront; this skill ensures you don't miss critical requirements before finalizing your schema.

Do I need to know my partition keys before using this?

No, this skill focuses on identifying 'what' data you need and 'how' you access it; physical key design happens in the subsequent dynamodb-table-design step.

Streamlines DynamoDB single-table design by interactively eliciting, formalizing, and documenting application access patterns.

This skill acts as the foundational step in building high-performance DynamoDB architectures by guiding developers through a systematic discovery process. It helps identify entities, relationships, and specific read/write requirements—such as pagination, sorting, and multi-entity joins—before any code is written. By persisting these patterns into a structured markdown file, it provides the necessary blueprint for subsequent table design and query interface implementation, ensuring a robust single-table design that aligns perfectly with application needs.
