What is setting-up-data-catalog?

Populates and maintains a project's data catalog (semantic layer): canonical metrics, trust marks (certifications) on warehouse tables/views, and reviewed table relationships. Use when asked to set up / seed / bootstrap the data catalog or semantic layer, to catalog a project's metrics, to certify or deprecate data sources, to propose or review table joins, or to work through the proposal review queue. To *use* an existing catalog to answer a business-number question, see querying-posthog-data instead. Trigger terms: data catalog, semantic layer, canonical metric, certify table, deprecate source, relationship proposal, metric drift, review queue.

Setting up and maintaining the data catalog

The data catalog is a per-project inventory of three things that otherwise live only in people's heads: metrics (what a number canonically means), certifications (which of many similar tables/views to trust), and relationships (how tables join). It describes existing data; it never copies it. The read path is SQL (system.information_schema); writes go through the data-catalog MCP tools.

This skill covers populating and curating the catalog. To consume it — answer a business number by checking for a canonical metric before deriving one — see the querying-posthog-data skill.

Trust model: everything an agent writes lands unapproved. Promotion — approving a metric, certifying a source, accepting a join — requires a human to type a confirmation (the promotion tools
