DX Data Navigator

Install

npx skills add pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills/skills/dx-data-navigator

Query the DX Data Cloud PostgreSQL database using the mcp__dx-mcp-server__queryData tool.

Tool Usage

mcp__dx-mcp-server__queryData(sql: "SELECT ...")

Always query information_schema.columns first if uncertain about table/column names:

SELECT column_name, data_type FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = 'table_name' ORDER BY ordinal_position;

Critical: Team Tables

Three team table types exist - use the right one:

For DX survey scores: Join through dx_snapshot_teams. Use GROUP BY to avoid duplicates (team names can appear multiple times across snapshot history):

SELECT st.name as team, i.name as metric, MAX(ts.score) as score, MAX(ts.vs_industry50) as vs_industry
FROM dx_snapshot_team_scores ts
JOIN dx_snapshot_teams st ON ts.snapshot_team_id = st.id
JOIN dx_snapshot_items i ON ts.item_id = i.id AND i.snapshot_id = ts.snapshot_id
WHERE ts.snapshot_id = (SELECT id FROM dx_snapshots ORDER BY end_date DESC LIMIT 1)
  AND st.name = 'Your Team Name'
  AND i.item_type = 'core4'
GROUP BY st.name, i.name;

For PR/deployment metrics by team: Join through dx_users to dx_teams:

SELECT t.name, COUNT(*) as prs
FROM pull_requests p
JOIN dx_users u ON p.dx_user_id = u.id
JOIN dx_teams t ON u.team_id = t.id
WHERE p.merged IS NOT NULL GROUP BY t.name;

Discovering Team Names

Query the database to find available teams:

SELECT name FROM dx_teams WHERE deleted_at IS NULL ORDER BY name;

Data Domains

Core DX Metrics

Data Quality Notes

Known issues:

• Some team names may have typos - verify names by querying dx_teams
• incident_services table is empty - incidents cannot be linked to specific services
• dx_users AI adoption date fields are mostly NULL - use github_copilot_daily_usages instead
• DX survey scores may have duplicates - always use GROUP BY with MAX() aggregation

Common Query Patterns

DORA Metrics

-- Deployment Frequency (daily average, production only)
SELECT COUNT(*)::float / 30 as deploys_per_day FROM deployments
WHERE deployed_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days' AND environment IN ('prod', 'production');

-- Lead Time for Changes (PR cycle time)
SELECT
    AVG(open_to_merge)/3600 as avg_hours,
    PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY open_to_merge)/3600 as median_hours
FROM pull_requests
WHERE merged IS NOT NULL AND created > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days';

-- Mean Time to Recovery
SELECT AVG(started_to_resolved)/3600 as mttr_hours FROM incidents
WHERE resolved_at IS NOT NULL AND priority IN ('1 - Critical', '2 - High')
  AND started_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '90 days';

-- Change Failure Rate (requires correlating incidents with deployments)

Time-based Trends

-- Weekly PR throughput trend
SELECT DATE_TRUNC('week', merged) as week, COUNT(*) as prs
FROM pull_requests WHERE merged > NOW() - INTERVAL '90 days'
GROUP BY week ORDER BY week;

-- Monthly deployment trend
SELECT DATE_TRUNC('month', deployed_at) as month, COUNT(*) as deploys
FROM deployments WHERE deployed_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '12 months'
GROUP BY month ORDER BY month;

Historical DX Survey Comparison

-- Compare team scores across all surveys
SELECT s.end_date as survey_date, i.name as metric, ts.score
FROM dx_snapshot_team_scores ts
JOIN dx_snapshots s ON ts.snapshot_id = s.id
JOIN dx_snapshot_teams st ON ts.snapshot_team_id = st.id AND st.snapshot_id = s.id
JOIN dx_snapshot_items i ON ts.item_id = i.id AND i.snapshot_id = s.id
WHERE st.name = 'Your Team Name'
  AND i.item_type = 'core4'
  AND ts.score IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY s.end_date, i.name;

-- Teams that improved most since last survey (use vs_prev)
SELECT st.name as team, i.name as metric, MAX(ts.score) as score, MAX(ts.vs_prev) as change
FROM dx_snapshot_team_scores ts
JOIN dx_snapshot_teams st ON ts.snapshot_team_id = st.id
JOIN dx_snapshot_items i ON ts.item_id = i.id AND i.snapshot_id = ts.snapshot_id
WHERE ts.snapshot_id = (SELECT id FROM dx_snapshots ORDER BY end_date DESC LIMIT 1)
  AND i.name = 'Effectiveness' AND i.item_type = 'core4'
  AND st.parent = false
GROUP BY st.name, i.name
ORDER BY change DESC NULLS LAST;

Tool Satisfaction Analysis

-- Tool satisfaction scores (csat)
SELECT i.name as tool, AVG(ts.score) as avg_satisfaction, COUNT(DISTINCT st.name) as teams_using
FROM dx_snapshot_team_scores ts
JOIN dx_snapshot_teams st ON ts.snapshot_team_id = st.id
JOIN dx_snapshot_items i ON ts.item_id = i.id AND i.snapshot_id = ts.snapshot_id
WHERE ts.snapshot_id = (SELECT id FROM dx_snapshots ORDER BY end_date DESC LIMIT 1)
  AND i.item_type = 'csat' AND st.parent = false AND ts.score IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY i.name ORDER BY avg_satisfaction ASC;
