motherduck-build-cfa-app
Build a Customer-Facing Analytics App
Use this skill when the user is embedding analytics into a product for external users and needs a concrete serving architecture, not just a dashboard.
This is a use-case skill. It orchestrates motherduck-connect, motherduck-explore, motherduck-model-data, motherduck-query, and motherduck-load-data.
Start Here: Is a MotherDuck Server Active?
Always determine this first.
- If a remote MotherDuck MCP server or local MotherDuck server is active, use it.
- If the user has not said which database backs the project, ask for the target database or workspace before designing the app.
- Then inspect the live data model:
- databases and schemas
- tables and views
- columns and types
- join keys
- time dimensions
- core serving metrics
